Ponson (7-7, 5.93) Meche (9-6, 4.94)
If you took all of Gil Meche's potential and turned it into fat, you'd get Sidney Ponson, who's working on one hell of an ugly season. Not that it's entirely his fault - that .360 BABIP is second-worst in the Majors among guys with at least 50 innings - but he's not missing any bats and anything he puts over the plate gets pounded, which can make people forget pretty quickly that you were once a highly-touted rotation anchor (and now a completely different type of anchor). He's going up against Gil Meche, so he has a pretty good chance of coming away with a win, or at least a no-decision, but he's going to have a lot of trouble with the lefties in the lineup.
LET'S GO MARINERS!
