John Patterson was ninth in the National League last season with a 3.13 ERA, though his performance was not so much a product of his home ballpark, RFK, which is extremely generous to pitchers. Patterson's road ERA was 3.22 (3.08 at home), so he's good stuff wherever he's pitching.
Brian Bannister makes his big league debut tonight, so he'll try to get off to a fast start and keep the naysayers at bay.
