Tonight we will see Boston's ageless knuckleballer Tim Wakefield face the Japanese version of Rodney Dangerfield, Tomo Ohka. Wakefield has been stingy so far this year posting a 1.38 ERA, while Ohka has been in a far more generous mood resulting in a 7.84 mark. Look for the tables to turn however as Wakefield is beatable at the Rogers Centre (4.75 career ERA there) and Ohka is due a good outing.
Update: No more predictions. Ohka was strong through the first 5 innings but gave up some rather long singles en route to a 4-1 loss. More analysis to come.
