When Roy Halladay switched the National League, we knew in some cases it was going to be downright unfair. He was no longer facing designated hitters, he wasn’t facing the Yankees and Red Sox a ton of times a year… Instead, he’d be taking on teams like the Nationals.
So far, Halladay has made it look as unfair as we assumed he would. In 13 career stars against Washington he’s 9-1 with a 1.96 ERA. One his two complete games this season has not surprisingly come against the Nats.
He’s also coming off a complete game in his last outing, a 2-1 win over the Mets.
He will oppose Jon Lannan who is probably the opposite to the Phillies as Doc is to the Nats. In his career against Philadelphia, Lannan is with a 5.80 ERA. Over on the Good Phight, they listed the numbers of Phillies regulars lifetime against Lannan. It’s not pretty… for Lannan.
