Games of the Day
The Tigers arrive in Cleveland to try to avenge the Indians sweep in Detroit last weekend. They'll start with a great matchup as C.C. Sabathia hosts Justin Verlander. The home/road dynamic favors both pitchers. Verlander posts a 1.30 ERA on the road, while Sabathia is 4-0 with a 2.70 ERA at home.
The Dodgers staff comes into tonight's game against Washington with 21 consecutive scoreless innings. Mark Hendrickson tries to keep that going. He's pitched poorly in May, however, posting a 5.14 ERA. The Nationals send Micah Bowie to the hill. Micah's a reverse lefty this season, shutting down right-handed batters but getting clobbered by lefties.
Roy Halladay returns to the Toronto rotation, recovered from his abdominal surgery. He's only walked nine batters in 57 2/3 innings. He'll face no-hit Mark Buehrle and the White Sox. Buehrle is doing a good job against right-handed batters this season, holding them to a .293 OBA.
Enjoy!

Toronto's .841 OPS against lefties may make this interesting. I am anticipating ample offensive support for Doc's return.
