Two first place teams battle each other tonight as the Milwaukee Brewers face the New York Mets at Shea Stadium. Chris Capuano is blowing away Milwaukee opponents this year, striking out 14 in 12 1/3 innings. The Mets, however, only strikeout about 16.2% of the time, one of the lower totals in the league.

Tom Glavine takes the hill for New York. Glavine is at his best when he's better against right-handed hitters. So far this year, righties are hitting .345 against him, lefties .071.

At the other end of the scale, the Nationals and Marlins battle for last place in the NL East. It's a good pitching matchup, however, as Ryan Drese takes on Dontrelle Willis. Drese only allowed one earned run in his last outing, but he put plenty of men on base so the error caused greatest harm. Dontrelle is still looking for his first hit of the season. He wouldn't want to let Bronson Arroyo take over the title of pitcher who can actually hit. :-)

Finally, the Giants visit the Dodgers tonight with Jamey Wright going against Brad Penny. Wright has a good history at Dodger Stadium, posting a 3.35 ERA there for his career. Penny's been in total control in his first two starts, striking out 14 and walking just 1.

Enjoy!
