playing cleveland (-145) on sunday against the reds.
sabathia has traditionally been terrific in national league parks, mainly because he is a surprisingly above average hitter and he loves to start in games where he can swing the stick himself. he's gone deep in cincinnati before and it wouldnt surprise me to see him help his own cause on sunday. although with the way he's pitching right now, he probably wont need a lot of help. i actually like the fact he is going up against harang because it keeps the line modest at 3/2. although harang is a fairly consistent pitcher, its obvious that sabathia is in cy young form as he approaches free agency. really dont expect the reds bats (esp. the lefty bats of dunn, griffey, and hamilton) to do much against a guy who is borderline dominant right now. indians rotation outside of sabathia and carmona is shaky with the chalk right now. but cc and fausto keep getting it done and shutting down hitters with regularity.
