Maddux and Moyer face off
By john | August 24, 2007
Greg Maddux and Jamie Moyer will be doing the pitching tonight as the San Diego Padres face off against the Phillies in Philadelphia.
This matchup will feature two guys who have won over 200 games and are over 40. Moyer will turn 45 in November and Maddux is 41.
On the season Moyer is 11-9 with a 4.97 ERA including his last start in which he was torched for seven earned runs in four-plus innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Maddux on the other hand picked up career win 342 against the Houston Astros after allowing just a solo home run to Lance Berkman in the first inning of a start in which he lasted six. He allowed just one other hit in the game and has not allowed a walk in 28 innings. He also recorded his 40th multihit game of his career. For the season he is 9-9 with a 3.90 ERA.
I don’t want to doom Maddux’s chances at 15 win guys but the projection thing over at ESPN.com has him reaching only 12. With roughly 8 starts left he would need to win 6 of them to reach the number.
