The Fanhouse's look at the day's most intriguing matchups
Atlanta Braves (3-1) vs. New York Mets (4-0)-FOX 3:55PM Est.
Old teammates and good friends John Smoltz and Tom Glavine face off against one another Saturday afternoon in Atlanta. The Mets continued their offensive dominance on Friday with an 11-1 victory over the Braves, Atlanta's first loss of the season. In Glavine's last start on Opening Night against the Cardinals, he went 6 innings allowing only one run to get the win. The victory left the veteran lefty only 9 wins away from the magical 300.
Milwaukee Brewers (2-2) vs. Chicago Cubs (2-2)-1:05PM Est.
Another solid pitching matchup that features two possible NL Cy Young candidates. Everybody is jumping on the Ben Sheets bandwagon after his masterful performance on Opening Day. Sheets went the distance against the Dodgers last Monday, and gave up only one run. Carlos Zambrano's first day was just about the opposite. Big Z had no control of his pitches, and walked 5 guys while allowing 5 runs as he took a loss in Cincinnati. It's only one start though, and if you're a fan of pitching duels, this game is probably your best bet on Saturday.
Cleveland Indians (2-1) vs. Seattle Mariners (2-1)-1:05PM Est.
Well, these two teams will meet again Saturday night and do the whole home opener thing all over again after Friday's game was called due to snow. The Indians are bound to be a little ticked off at the way Friday's non-game ended, and they'll look to take it out on Jeff Weaver and the Mariners. C.C. Sabathia will be taking the hill for the Tribe as he looks to win his second game of the season.
(UPDATE: Both games of today's Indians/Mariners doubleheader have been postponed. Another doubleheader has been scheduled for tomorrow. Hooray,snow!)
