1981 - Series Moves to St. Louis

The Series moves to St. Louis for Game 3 and I will have to make a decision who to sit as the DH will be out of play. I'm likely to sit Dave Winfield against righties (moving Zisk to RF) and put Bill Buckner in LF. Against lefties, Buckner will sit and my outfield will be my usual lineup of Zisk, Ruppert Jones, and Winfield from left to right.

The Game 3 matchup will have Burt Hooton on the hill for Seattle. Hooton posted a 8-8, 5.19 record after being acquired by Seattle from Atlanta. His overall record for the season was 10-15, 4.84. Before the trade, Hooton didn't face St. Louis earlier this season. Opposing him will be lefty Doug Capilla. During the regular season, Capilla was 9-10 with a 4.12 ERA. During the playoffs, Capilla has pitched very well going 2-0 with a 1.64 ERA in two NLCS starts giving up only 6 hits and 5 walks in 11 innings.
