Overbay Picking it Up

Facing familiar National League pitching has helped Lyle Overbay gain some confidence and improve his batting average. Switching leagues usually gives hitters trouble as they have to adjust to a whole set of new pitchers.

Thru Overbay's last 10 games of interleague play (as of Wednesday), he's hitting .405, and is hitting .349 against National League pitching on the season. Of Overbay's 12 HR's, 43 RBI's and 41 runs scored in 278 at-bats. 3 HR's, 8 RBI's, 9 runs in 57 at-bats have come against the National League.

One American League team Overbay is having success with is the Chicago White Sox, he has 3 home runs, 5 runs batted in and is hitting .476 in 21 at-bats.
