Another Bluedude Sportstalk Exclusive as there are at least 100 more Exclusives that I should get to within the next 10 years or so. "Give Me the Righty or Lefty" Numbers from the Bump is a Category for Sub-Categories like Pitching Wins, Saves, ERA, and Strikeouts. Today we talk Top 2013 Starting Pitching Duo's out the gate as we head to the end of April.

A few surprises but these numbers directly correlate to the Teams that are in front as we get to May Baseball. The Carmines are off to a nice start as many observers were saying watch the Bo Sox they could surprise some folks and that they are doing. The Redbirds from Baseball Town USA are leading the Central on the Senior Circuit and they have Two "Monsters on the Bump". Don't expect the Dodgers to be on the List as Ace Clayton Kershaw unfortunately for Dodgers Blue is the only Pitcher in that Rotation healthy.

The Top 4 Starting Pitching Duo's through April 27, 2013 in W's:

1. BUCHHOLZ and LESTER #Carmines combined 9-0 with a combined 1.73 ERA....they have been dynamite as the Red Sox are the leaders in the rugged AL East.

2. MOORE and COBB #Rays combined 8-1 with a combined 1.47 ERA...the Rays are getting excellent work from their #2 and #3 and just think when reigning 2012 Junior Circuit Cy Young Winner David Price gets going.

3. LYNN and WAINRIGHT #Redbirds 8-1 combined with a combined 2.51 ERA as Lynn has a 3.10 ERA but is getting good run support in his starts. The Redbirds will be there as they have not skipped a beat under 2nd year Skip Matheny.

4. SABATHIA and KURODA #BronxBombers 7-3 combined with a combined 3.09 ERA as Sabathia has had two rough starts but he is a Horse as he eats Innings, will get you 15-18 plus W's, and in Winning Time "Straight Cash Homie". Kuroda has been what he Yanks were hoping he would be with Old Reliable Pettite (3-1 2.22 ERA) doing his thing.  Now Yanks have Three dependable Starters.

Three of the Four Duo's are ironically in the Rugged AL East as many analysts were going with the New Blue Jays (Key Injuries), the Yanks, and O's as the front runners. Through the end of April it has been all Rays and Bo Sox.
