There are only two games today in which teams vying for a playoff spot go head to head. The Rockies and Phillies play game two of their four game series, and it looks to be a slugfest. Franklin Morales and Adam Eaton both own ERAs over 6.00. Morales, in his four starts, has walked more batters than he's struck out. Eaton holds the third higest ERA in the majors since June 1, 6.67.

The best game of the day takes place in Los Angeles where the Padres and Dodgers start their final series of the season. Los Angeles trails San Deigo by 2 1/2 games in the wild card race, so they need the sweep to pass the Padres. Ace Jake Peavy goes against late pick-up Esteban Loaiza. Peavy's last start was on three days rest and went badly, but he's going tonight with five days off. Loaiza makes his second start for the Dodgers. In three games this season he's held opponents to six runs in 21 2/3 innings. He's not striking out many batters, but he's walking even fewer. Given the park, the teams and the pitchers, expect a low scoring, close game.

Enjoy!
