Kendrick was highly touted coming out of the minors, and he gave a very good account of himself in his Major League debut, getting credited with a Quality Start while allowing just three runs and six hits in six innings. Besides, what exactly has Jason Stanford done for Cleveland to merit this much favoritism?

no way brother cleveland will win again both pitchers are unknown and although kendrick played well last game stanford is better and cleveland is swinging while philly is flat.

AC,

What basis do you have for saying Stanford is better? Neither pitcher has a track record in the majors, so all things being equal, the +155 dog has automatic value.

The matchup you posted above is meaningless since each pitcher has had just one start this year. The difference is that Kendrick has more upside since that was his first major league start and he figures to improve, whereas Stanford had a cup of coffee in the bigs back in 2004 with very limited success.

just by the numbers I see from one game one had better luck than the other I lean more to cleveland from the offense past two games not the pitchers to start plus the pens which cleveland is better I don't expect both starters to stay that long and although cleveland is losing and I didn't play the game I still think cleveland wins not like I thought yesterday when I gave them a 10* and they cruised to an ass whipping
