"I think it's a benefit for both teams."
Mike Scioscia, Friday night.
Sure, both teams get some assistance since their bullpens get a day off.
And CC Sabathia gets another day of rest. But let's be serious here, Sabathia has proven himself many times over on short rest.
However, if this series goes seven games, John Lackey will benefit the most of anybody.
The right-hander does not have a Sabathia-like resume when it comes to pitching on three-days rest.
With the rainout, he gets a full-four day break between starts.
Of course, the Angels have the nearly impossible task of getting him there.
