One month into the season, the Indians have the top two pitchers in the American League by earned run average. After beating Curt Schilling and the Red Sox tonight, Jake Westbrook (1.32 ERA) pushed past teammate C.C. Sabathia (1.61 ERA) into the top spot. Not far behind, in the 11th spot is lefty Cliff Lee (3.14 ERA), who is also sporting a 3-0 record.
I'm already looking forward to attending Thursday's matchup of Sabathia and Pedro Martinez. The bullpen looked good tonight. Maybe the worst is behind us. And this is the first and last time I will point out that with their current record at two games below .500 (11-13), if the Indians play .500 ball the rest of the season, they will win 80 games, my official prediction.
Glad I got that out of the way.
