Game 1 of Oakland at Baltimore and the Phillies-Mets game have both been postponed.

The Rays' lead is down to 2 1/2 games in the AL East as they send James Shields against Shawn Marcum in Toronto. Shields is only 3-6 on the road with a 5.84 ERA while Marcum's home run rate drops by more than half at the Rogers Center.

Arizona's lead is down to 1/2 game as Brandon Webb makes his third attempt at winning 20 games. He's allowed six earned runs in each of his last two starts, lasting a total of eight innings over both. Chad Billingsley stands in opposition. Billingsley allowed three earned runs or less in each of his last 10 starts, and comes into the game with a lower ERA than Webb (3.13 for Chad, 3.19 for Webb).

Both the Angels and White Sox try to reduce their magic numbers tonight as John Lackey takes on Gavin Floyd. The Angels number is five to clinch the division, while the White Sox need 21 for their crown. Despite the time off due to injury, this is likely to be Lackey's second highest season for allowing home runs. His career high was 31 in 2003, but his 22 in 2004 was the closest he's come to that number. He's at 21 right now. Floyd cut his HR per 200 innings from 48.6 in 2007 to 27.5 this season.

Jake Peavy takes on Ben Sheets and we'll be watching to see how Sheets holds up. He left his last start with tightness in his left groin. Peavy pitched poorly on the road this season, with a 4.52 ERA vs. 1.40 at home.
