Oakland Athletics (Kazmir) at Texas Rangers (Perez)
This is another game where I’d really rather just stay away from all hitters involved. Martin Perez has pitched three straight shutouts (two of them complete games) and Scott Kazmir has six earned runs and six walks allowed in five starts this year (33.1 innings). Even for a position punt today, I would rather look at other games. I would have interest in Shin-Soo Choo if he starts today though. For budget concerns, and because he shut them out last Wednesday, I’ll lean Perez in this one.
