Games of the Day

There's a good veteran pitching matchup in The Bronx tonight as Curt Schilling faces Andy Pettitte. Both are pitching well, but Schilling has more to show for his success on the mound. Pettitte seems to be pitching backwards this season. He's finding more success against right-handed batters and away from Yankee Stadium. Schilling's doing the same, as far as left-right matchups go. Lefties are getting on base at a .282 clip against him, righties .353. With a heavily left-handed lineup, the Yankees might be at a disadvantage in this game.

The White Sox try to make it five wins in six attempts versus the Athletics this season as Chad Gaudin takes on Jon Garland. Chicago is hitting .341 against Oakland with runners in scoring position while allowing a .268 BA in the same situation.

The Brewers and Dodgers play the rubber game of their series tonight with Brad Penny hosting Chris Capuano. Penny is the only ERA qualifier in the majors not to allow a home run this season. He'll be challenged by the Brewers power to keep that number intact. Capuano's held the opposition to a .216 BA with runners in scoring position this season.

Enjoy!
