Blue Jays vs Rangers

Toronto is 14-24 in the 2nd half and 24-38 on the road for the year. Anything less
than a series win for the Rangers would be unacceptable.

8/31 Brett Cecil, LHP (5-3, 4.96) vs Derek Holland, LHP (7-8, 4.95)
9/1 Marc Rzepczynski, LHP (2-3, 3.58) vs Dustin Nippert, RHP (4-2, 4.02)
9/1 Brian Tallet, LHP (5-8, 5.09) vs Brandon McCarthy, RHP (5-2, 4.92)
9/2 Scott Richmond, RHP (6-7, 4.32) vs Tommy Hunter, RHP (6-3, 2.95)

Rays vs Tigers

Tampa Bay is going for the series win today in Detroit.

8/31 James Shields, RHP (8-10, 3.81) vs Jarrod Washburn, LHP (9-7, 3.23)

Red Sox vs Rays

The Rays are 8-1 vs Boston at the Trop this year,16-5 including last year. The Rays
really need a sweep to stay in the WC hunt. I think Boston would be content
going 1-2 in the series.

9/1 Jon Lester, LHP (10-7, 3.60) vs Andy Sonnanstine, RHP (6-7, 6.61)
9/2 Josh Beckett, RHP (14-5, 3.80) vs Matt Garza, RHP (7-9, 3.95)
9/3 Clay Buchholz, RHP (3-3, 4.38) vs David Price, LHP (7-6, 4.63)

Angels vs Mariners

The Angels are only 6-7 vs the M's this season. But, 4-3 @ Seattle. After a
torrid June and july, the Angels are only 16-12 in August.

8/31 Joe Saunders, LHP (10-7, 5.27) vs Luke French, LHP (4-3, 3.92)
9/1 Ervin Santana, RHP (7-7, 5.94) vs Doug Fister, RHP (1-1, 3.42)
9/2 TBA  (Kazmir ?)                vs Felix Hernandez, RHP (13-5, 2.77)
