Here are three things well be keeping an eye on around the baseball world today: 1. ALCS Game 2: After a solo homer by in the first inning, and the Mariners bullpen managed to shut down a Blue Jays offense that throttled the Yankees in the division series to take Game 1 of the ALCS 3-1. Seattle will look to build on that lead later today with right-hander (3.44 ERA) on the mound, while the Blue Jays will turn to rookie right-hander (3.21 ERA) as they look to tie up the series before it heads to Seattle for Game 3. Yesavage is coming off a dominant performance against New York where he struck out 11 in 5 1/3 hitle s innings, but Gilbert Gary Carter Jersey had a strong showing in the ALDS himself. He struck out seven Tigers acro s six innings of one-run ball in his lone start in the series before pitching two scorele s innings of relief in Seattles marathon Game 5 win over Detroit. The teams are set to face off at 5:03pm local time this evening in Toronto. 2. NLCS Game 1: Just over three hours later, at 7:08pm local time in Milwaukee, the Brewers and Dodgers will kick off Game 1 of the NLCS. Left-hander (2.35 ERA) is slated to take the mound for L.A. Hes already come up with wins for the Dodgers against both the Reds and Phillies this October, combining for 13 innings of two-run ball with 18 strikeouts. Milwaukee, meanwhile, has not announced a starter but plans to go with an opener for the start of the game, with either (3.32 ERA) or (3.96 ERA) to follow as a bulk arm. Quintana was the far more effective of the two in the NLDS, as he threw three scorele s frames against Chicago while Priester surrendered four runs and recorded just two outs in his lone appearance. 3. Lukes day-to-day: Turning back to the ALCS, Jays outfielder after fouling a ball off of his knee. He was eventually diagnosed as a right knee contusion after x-rays came back negative. Its a good sign for his availability at some point later in the series, but manager John Schneider told reporters yesterday that it wouldnt be known if Lukes was available for todays game. Lukes will be evaluated by the Jays medical staff when he arrives at the park today. If hes unavailable, or would likely step into the starting lineup in his place. Stephen Nogosek Jersey
