MLB.tv subscribers have eleven games to choose from today and several involve some of the top starting pitchers.
Pedro Martinez makes his much-anticipated Spring Training debut at 17.10 (GMT) against the Tigers. He will probably pitch around three innings as he is a bit behind where most starters would want to be right now due to several postponed outings. Both sides will be fielding split squad teams, with the Mets also playing the Astros and Detroit facing Tampa Bay. Dontrelle Willis and James Shields are the scheduled starters for the latter game, beginning at 17.10.
While Pedro’s start is an appealing prospect, a great alternative from 17.15 would be the Yankees-Indians game in which Chien-Ming Wang and reigning Cy Young award winner C.C. Sabathia will take the mound.
The action doesn’t slow down later in the evening either. Ben Sheets against Felix Hernandez looks a tasty prospect as the Brewers play the Mariners. Elsewhere, Carlos Zambrano takes the mound for the Cubs in their game against the Angels, and Danny Haren starts for the D-Backs against the White Sox. First pitch for all three of these games is set for 20.05.
