Games of the Day

The Milwaukee Brewers try to extend their winning streak to five games and sweep the former Milwaukee Braves as Jeff Suppan faces Jorge Campillo. Suppan's 5.70 road ERA comes mostly from his allowing seven of his nine home runs away from Miller Park (he must be a Star Trek fan). Campillo is showing great control this year, walking a batter every five innings.

Kyle Lohse and Armando Galarraga offer the best pitching matchup of the day. They are a combined 16-4 this season. Lohse took advantage of moving out of good home run parks to cut his rate of long balls allowed in half, dropping his ERA a run. Armando's strength is keeping the bases empty, allowing just a .254 OBA with no one on.

Runs galore in Cleveland today as Barry Zito faces Jeremy Sowers. Batters have an OPS against Sowers of .978. As a hitter, you'll be in contention for the MVP at that level. Zito isn't much better at .894. He's allowing a .411 OBA. That's turning every batter he faces into Wade Boggs!

Finally, Gavin Floyd takes on Eric Stults at Dodger Stadium. Floyd managed to keep his ERA low in June despite allowing as many home runs as April and May combined. Eight of the seventeen runs he allowed were unearned. Stults made an good first start against the Reds, allowing one earned run while walking one and striking out five in six innings.

Enjoy!
