Cleveland has dominated this team this year, and owned the series between the two. They are 4-0 heads up this year with convincing 13-2, 5-0, 8-4 type wins with Cliff Lee getting the 5-0 shut out on July 11th. Tampa Bay has beaten many teams this season, but not the Cleveland Indians. Cliff Lee comes in for the Indians inarguably one of the best in baseball this year. "I've got to get ahead and mix up my pitches more," Lee, the AL's ERA leader, told the Indians' official Web site. "I think I got a little predictable with what I was doing." Lee is 2-0 his last three times out with one no decision. On the year he has a impeccable WHIP of 1.06 along with a 2.58 ERA in almost 150 innings pitched. He has just been amazing all season long. When Lee takes the mound at Tampa Bay, he will be one of three starters vying to join Arizona's Brandon Webb as the only pitchers in the majors with 15 victories.
