Kason Gabbard vs Felix Hernandez today. Yeah it isn't a very sexy matchup but they can't all be. Gabbard is your average junk-tossing lefty from what I hear. Nothing in the 90's and has to pitch to the corners and change speeds to be effective. Hopefully he can stay out of the middle of plate but at the same time not walk a lot of guys. This Seatle lineup isn't the most difficult to pitch to but if you go out there throwing the ball down the middle they will score some runs. The Sox have never faced Hernandez, who is having a tough year despite having great stuff. He's the type of pitcher who is going to give this team fits. I expect him to shut the Sox down but hopefully I'm wrong.
