My daughter is coming home from college today so I’m a bit rushed today. This will be a quick post.

The Oakland Athletics and Texas Rangers play the rubber game of their series with second place on the line in the AL West. Gio Gonzalez takes on Matt Harrison. Gio upped his strikeouts this season and is holding batters to a .133 BA with runners in scoring position.

Cleveland tries to make it two in a row over Tampa Bay as David Price visits Carlos Carrasco. Three of Price’s four home runs allowed this season came on the road.

The Marlins can move to one game out of first in the NL East as they host the Phillies in the rubber game of their series. Cliff Lee faces Ricky Nolasco. Lee is getting hit hard with runners in scoring position this season, giving up a .295/.340/.523 slash line. Nolasco’s control is right up their with the best as he’s issued seven walks in 47 1/3 innings, about one every seven innings.

Finally, Jake Peavy makes his 2011 debut as the White Sox finish their series with the Angels. Tyler Chatwood takes the mound for the Angels.

Enjoy!
