- Harper has gotten off to a great start and against the Marlins, I expect him to get another hit today as well. Harper is 0-3 lifetime against LeBlanc but I believe he'll get his first hit today.
2) Michael Brantley (.714) vs. Mark Buehrle (3.74 ERA)
- Although the season is young, Brantley has been one of the hottest hitters in the league so far. He is .250 against Buehrle in his career. I do not have much confidence in Buehrle this season after struggling last year with the Marlins (but then again, everyone struggled who played on the Marlins).
3) Joey Votto (.182) vs. Joe Blanton (4.71 ERA)
- Votto started the season 0 for 6 but his first hit of the year came in the bottom of the 9th, a walk-off single. I expect Votto to get things going now that he got his first hit. He will be batting with more confidence, especially tonight against a good, but not great pitcher.
