Series from Page 21 Ger baited .346 and scored six runs against inc Angels Baylor has hit in a record 10 straight Posl season games. Baylor could see some action at Shea stadium if first baseman Bill Buckner is unable to play. Buckner suffered a strained right Achilles Tendon beating out an infield hit in game 7 and has been hampered by leg injuries All season. Pitching usually dominates a Short series and if thai holds Irue to form the mels have a decided Edge Over the red sox. Especially in the bullpen. Met relievers held the astros without an earned run in i hair first 18 innings of work in the no playoffs. Jesse Orosco won three games in Relief and sinker Ball specialist Roger Mcdow Ell pitched five scoreless innings in the mets s 16-inning, 7-6 Triumph in came 6. With the except Ion of former met Cal Vin Schiraldi the red sox bullpen is suspect. Bob Stanley was hit hard by the Angels during the Al playoffs and left hander Joe Sabilo was ineffective Dur ing the second half of the season and pitched Only two thirds of an inning in the Al playoffs. Steve Crawford gave the red sox a Strong Effort in game 5, but he was Hurt part of inc year and is inexperienced in Post season Competition. Tom Saver the red sox Veteran right handed Pitcher who led the acts to i hair Only world championship in 1969, will Sil out the series. Saver acquired from inc Chicago while sox in mid season has been bothered by a strained knee and missed the playoffs. Three players Bob Ojida Schiraldi and Joe Sabilo will be playing against i hair former Lear Maies in the series. Ojeda who most Likely will pitch game 3 for the mels played six seasons for the red sox before being acquired last Winter in a Trade thai sent Schiraldi to the red sox. Sabilo who grew up in new York and rooted for the mels As a youngster wore a met uniform briefly last year Dur ing his comeback a Templ from Arm sur Gery.

T of Ford and Montague Are working a their first world  from Page 23 comes out in late innings for Dave Hen Derson. Both subs Are Good. Of Lenny lovers. Dykstra All the Way. Right held Darryl Strawberry of the mets and Dwight Evans of the red sox. Not really a contest Here. You could break your neck giving inc nod to Strawberry. No Knock on Evans. He has great Fen Way Power and he s a Garner but Straw Berry Wilt be a big Factor in this series. He May not gel Many hits but they la be big ones real big ones. He had two homers in the playoffs and both of them tied up games that the mels went on to win. One broke up a Nolan Ryan no hit Ter no less. Strawberry need never worry again whether he can produce under the gun. Pitching Roger Clemens had such a great sea son they ought to give him the Al by Young award and the map in both leagues just because nobody in the no deserves it. But the mets proved to Mike Scon and the Houston astros that you need More than one Pitcher 10 win a seven game series. Clemens pitched three limes m the playoffs so hell Only be Able to go twice in the series if it goes thai far. Hurst and Dennis Oil can Boyd Don t Cut in and the mets could t find a use for Boston bullpen stopper. Calvin Schiraldi when they had him. The mels Only pitching problem Wilt be which left hander to Nan in Fenway with in Short left Field. Bob Ojeda Mer red sox Pitcher probably will to i the one. The mets used a four Man raw Tion in the playoffs that also Indue Ron Darling Dwight Gooden and Fernanda Roger Mcdowell and j Orosco both were excellent in Relief. This is the most lopsided of ill matchup and the red sox Are on to let wrong Side of it i prediction the mels in five my Teless
