While people in the West Coast are either already at work or having lunch, the Oakland Athletics and Detroit Tigers get set to start Game 3 of the ALDS. Do not miss the live action as the series is tied 1-1. If you can't enjoy the game at home, check out the live stream available via Postseason.TV. First pitch will be a little after 1 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT.
It will be Anibal Sanchez vs. Jarrod Parker on Monday afternoon/morning, depending on where in the country you live, of course. Both pitchers will be looking to give their team the victory and this is who each of them will face as lineups have already been drawn out for Game 3.
The A's are on the road, so they will have a chance to bat first. Here is who they will send to the plate to face another tough right-hander, Sanchez who has a 2.57 ERA in 2013.
Athletics Batting Lineup
1. Coco Crisp CF
2. Josh Donaldson 3B
3. Jed Lowrie SS
4. Brandon Moss 1B
5. Yoenis Cespedes LF
6. Seth Smith DH
7. Josh Reddick RF
8. Stephen Vogt C
9. Sogard 2B
Smith and Cespedes provide the thunder in the hit or miss A's batting lineup. In fact, Cespedes has assisted in all three of the A's runs scored in this series, hitting a two-run shot in Game 1 and then scoring the only run of Game 2.
Tigers Batting Lineup
1. Austin Jackson CF
2. Tori Hunter RF
3. Miguel Cabrera 3B
4. Price Fielder 1B
5. Victor Martinez DH
6. Jhonny Peralta LF
7. Alex Avila C
8. Omar Infante 2B
9. Jose Iglesias SS
There's a lot of change in this lineup. Peralta makes his return after serving his 50-game suspension. However, the Tigers feel comfortable with Iglesias at short, so Peralta will be manning left field in Detroit. Look for centerfielder, Jackson, to be quite busy and shading to left field more than usual in this game.
