I suppose if the Yankees decided they weren't going to score a run off of Burnett it makes sense to save Pettitte for the Red Sox.
The good news is that the Jays have swept their last two series. The bad news is that it's only three games combined.
For whatever reason the Jays seem like a streaky team to me - this started back a few years ago. Looking at the schedule so far the Jays already have 2 three game winning streaks and 1 two game winning streak. They also have had a two game losing streak and a five game losing streak. That makes up 15 of the team's 21 games so far. Or maybe that's completely normal and I don't pay as close attention to that with other teams.
In case you haven't noticed, Vernon Wells is hot. He's gone 9-12 with three walks in his last three games. With Glaus and Zaun out, and a hole at SS, the lineup is rather lean these days so a hot streak by Wells is more than welcomed. Frank Thomas is also heating up - he's 7-16 in his last 4 games.
Tonight the Jays face the Rangers at home. Josh Towers faces off against Robinson Tejada. Magpie will be in the house so Towers is almost certain to have a good start.
