Lets cut to the chase and start off with my thoughts on the X-factor today, Robinson Tejeda. As one of my leans earlier this season, Tejeda was able to throw a 2-hitter through seven innings @ <st1:City><st1lace>Boston</st1lace></st1:City> in his opening start. How's that for a season opener? In that <st1:City><st1lace>Boston</st1lace></st1:City> game, <st1:State><st1lace>Texas</st1lace></st1:State><SCRIPT><!--D(["mb"," had trouble with Tim Wakefields knuckleball early in the season, but still came out with a 2-0 victory over \u003c/span\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:10pt\"\>\nBoston\u003c/span\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:10pt\"\>. Today Tejeda faces a similar situation at the Chicago White Sox. In his only other start this season, Tejeda gave up 6 runs to the Devil-Rays. However, the Devil-Rays were "Locked In" in that game, so one could expect they were going to hit a young, inexperienced pitcher. Nevertheless, with a road ERA of \n3.10 last year, Tejeda should pitch well against the White Sox tonight, a team that has never seen him before. In five out of six times during his career, Tejeda has given up less than 2 earned runs in games following an outing where he gave up 4+ runs. While this stat may not be supremely important, it does tell us that Tejeda has enough confidence and ability to bounce back well from a poor start. \n\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/p\>\n\u003cp style\u003d\"margin:0in 0in 0pt\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:10pt\"\>\u003cfont face\u003d\"Times New Roman\"\>*\u003c/font\>\u003c/span\>\u003c/p\>\n\u003cp style\u003d\"margin:0in 0in 0pt\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:10pt\"\>\u003cfont face\u003d\"Times New Roman\"\>Tejeda is a young pitcher who lives and dies with his fastball. He throws it all over the plate, from 94 to 97 MPH. This is absolutely his go-to pitch, and it is solely what has kept him in the Major Leagues. I don't doubt that Tejeda could carve through an entire lineup just throwing his fastball, which has some of the sharpest movement I have seen in the all of baseball. However, aside from his deadly heater, Tejeda does have a decent changeup and a below-average slider. As long as he gets the changeup over about once every five pitches, he will be fine. There is no doubt in my mind that Tejeda has the stuff to tame the White Sox lineup. His nemesis, bases on balls, has slowly been eradicated as he managed to walk over 2 batters just once in the entire second half of last year. \n\u003c/font\>\u003c/span\>\u003c/p\>\n\u003cp style\u003d\"margin:0in 0in 0pt\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:10pt\"\>\u003cfont face\u003d\"Times New Roman\"\>*\u003c/font\>\u003c/span\>\u003c/p\>",1]);//--></SCRIPT> had trouble with Tim Wakefields knuckleball early in the season, but still came out with a 2-0 victory over <st1:City><st1lace>Boston</st1lace></st1:City>.

He has shown no ability to retain his control this season (something very key to his success) as he has walked 7 batters in his first two games. <st1:City><st1lace>Garland</st1lace></st1:City> had a horrible September last year, a time when he was faced with playoff-hungry lineups and pressure to pitch well. Tonight he faces a very hungry Rangers team who has lost two in a row, and just got blown out by the Mariners despite putting up 6 runs. <st1:City><st1lace>Garland</st1lace></st1:City> did throw a good game last time out against a sleeping <st1:City><st1lace>Oakland</st1lace></st1:City> team.
