... Jered Weaver did match a career high by serving up four home runs to these Yankees this past Saturday, but he should feel a lot more comfortable in his first career home start against them.
He's generally better at the "Big A" than on the road, with a 3.43 lifetime ERA there, so while he can't be expected to dominate, he'll at least be more useful this time.
... James Shields might be a whiz in his home games but only ordinary on the road; however, an assignment at Safeco Field against the Mariners really should make him feel right at home.
He hasn't won either career start there, but in them he has a 1.69 ERA and 0.75 WHIP, and both outings were eight-inning quality starts. I'll bet he wins this time. ...
