Two things to watch for those looking for cheap saves. The first is the Seattle bullpen and JJ Putz is on the DL with ribcage tendonitis. manager John mcLaren is on record saying it is a committee situation between Sean Green, Mark Lowe and Eric O'Flaherty despite his use of Miguel Batista to close last night's victory.
The second place to watch is Houston. Manager Cecil Cooper used Jose Valverde for a two-inning save in last night's win over the Padres. The teams meet again in an afternoon tilt. I wouldn't expect valverde to pitch so soon. If the Astros' get a save chance, we will get to see who the favorite is a the back-up closer.
