Won't call this an early look but will include it with my record.
Toronto Texas Over 11.5 -115
Towers vs. Lewis.
I have seen this Josh Towers kid, and he is absolutely brutal. I don't think he could crack an egg against a brick wall if he was pitching. Granted nobody has gotten a really good look at him this year in limited duty; I will take my chances. I would be very suprised to see this guy last more than 3 innings. However his 2002 numbers are very indicative of what type of pitcher he is:
IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP BA
27.1 42 24 24 11 5 13 7.90 1.72 .362
Granted the last time Toronto saw Lewis, it was when they were ruling the month of May. However, they have taken this guy to the woodshed to the tune of 13ER in only 4 IP. WHIP of 3.50!!!
The league is also hitting a hearty .335 vs. this kid. Therefore if both pitchers work true to form, we have a nice dose of Brian Shouse and Tanyon Sturtze. (I don't know how that jerkoff keeps a job either. OH yeah I forgot, Toronto needs pitching. They would be better off coaxing Jeff Brantley out of retirement or begging Rolando Arrojo to come pitch for them.)
Hopefully I don't get some stingy UMP.
Best of luck to all!
