I haven’t written a Sunday preview post for a few weeks, but the uninspiring World Cup so far and the presence of several marquee pitching match-ups in MLB\u00c2\u00a0today has encouraged me to get back into the routine.<\/p>\n
A Subway Series special starring Santana and Sabathia really stands out,\u00c2\u00a0as does the match-up in Florida pitting David Price against Josh Johnson.\u00c2\u00a0 Roy Halladay makes a start for the Phillies against the Twins, while Carlos Zambrano continues his return to the Cubs’ rotation against the Angels.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, the Strikeout Machine Max Scherzer faces the D-Backs, the latest reclamation project for Dave Duncan in St. Louis, Jeff Suppan, takes the mound against the A’s and promising prospect Jake Arrieta makes his third start for the Orioles after greatly\u00c2\u00a0impressing in his first two outings.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
The ESPN Sunday Night game, available on ESPN America, is Dodgers-Red Sox with first pitch set for 01.05 a.m.\u00c2\u00a0 ESPN America is also showing Game 3 of the College World Series from 19.00, if you want to watch something a little different.\u00c2\u00a0 All times are in BST.<\/p>\n
