It's pretty remarkable that arguably the two best starting pitchers in the American League East have faced each other three times before Memorial Day. In their two previous matchups, Pedro Martinez has emerged victorious over Roy Halladay, by 4-1 and 4-2 counts. Today, Doc needs to be especially sharp to keep Pedro and the BoSox from winning their third straight game at Skydome and sending the Jays back into their home-field doldrums. After an encouraging start on Thursday night, the Jays have been let down by their bats and their bullpen in consecutive losses; today, Roy Halladay might need to do it all himself.
