Pitchers

John Lackey $8700

Lackey pitched very well against the Cardinals last year, giving up eight runs overall with 20 hits allowed and 32 strikeouts. He made it past the sixth inning in every start while going 1-1 with two no decisions. You can feel confident in starting Lackey today as he has been very consistent against the Cardinals. ***

Matt Harvey $8300

Harvey did not have the season that anyone expected last season with 10 losses, but even through his struggles he still pitched well against the Braves last season. He only gave up one home run to the entire team, and it was to Mallex Smith who is no long on the team. He finished 1-2 with one no decision against the Braves but still had three quality starts and pitched past the fifth inning in every appearance. Avoiding weather delays, Harvey will be ready to roll tonight. **

Marcus Stroman $7500

Last season, Stroman was 3-0 in April in five starts, allowing just a .208 average against his opponents. In his first two starts against the Tampa Bay Rays he pitched a total of 16 innings while allowing only nine hits and striking out 14 batters. Stroman faced the Rays five times last season and he knows what to expect when entering Tropicana Field. Play him with confidence. ***
