Wednesday Notes

• Look to use Mark Ellis and Jack Cust against Tim Wakefield. The two are hitting .348 and .313 respectively, and are the only Oakland starters above .300 against Wakefield. Jason Giambi has four home runs in 92 at-bats, but has hit just .163 against the Boston starter.
• While their time is limited, the heart of the Yankees lineup has done well against Glen Perkins. Alex Rodriguez is 5-for-9, as is Melky Cabrera. Robinson Cano has added a 5-for-8 figure against Perkins as well. Normally, Perkins is a decent play at home, but these numbers should have owners taking pause and looking elsewhere.
• Ryan Sadowski has put up two good outings to start his career, and will get a chance to face the Marlins on Wednesday. His command was much better during his second start, and in 13 innings, he has allowed only seven hits. Players do not have much of a book on him yet, and he could steal another win in this one.
• Jeff Suppan has been roughed up by the Cardinals lineup, and has fallen to 1-5 at home on the season with an ERA sitting at 6.08 in Miller Park. In nearly 200 at-bats, the Cardinals check in at .332 against Suppan. Start as many as you can, as there are no red flags. Keep Suppan down.
• Nelson Cruz and Josh Hamilton have not hit well against Ervin Santana. The Angels starter has held Cruz to a 3-for-16 mark, and Hamilton to 2-for-13. The rest of the Rangers are good to go in this one. Michael Young, Hank Blalock, and Ian Kinsler all have hit north of .350 in at least 22 at-bats.
• Spot Starts: Sadowski and Chad Gaudin
