The Orioles trail the Yankees by 7 1/2 games as they open a three-game set at Yankee Stadium. Miguel Gonzalez takes on Freddy Garcia. Gonzalez’s walks and home runs allowed are high, which could cause problems for a right-hander at Yankee Stadium. Garcia doesn’t keep the ball in the park, either, but his lower walk rate somewhat limits the damage.

The Angels trail the Rangers by five games as the two face off in a four-game set in Arlington. Ervin Santana and Roy Oswalt open the festivities, so this could be a slugfest. Mike Napoli did quite a bit of damage against his former team this season, while Mike Trout used Texas to boost his rookie of the year credentials.

The Rays take on one of their wild card competitors as David Price faces Oakland’s A.J. Griffin. Price tries to finish an impressive July in which he posted a 1.27 ERA so far. He struck out 33 in 28 1/3 innings with just two home runs allowed. Griffin’s career is off to an equally impressive start, with 29 K and eight walks in 36 innings.

Finally, the Diamondbacks go after one of the NL West leaders as Trevor Cahill battles the Dodgers and Aaron Harang. Cahill owns a 2.91 ERA away from Arizona. It seems are less likely to fall in against him on the road. Harang’s strikeout rate recovered after two down years, and his ERA with it.

Enjoy!
