The Indians face the newest addtion to the Oakland rotation today as Jake Westbrook takes on Rich Harden. Harden has two starts so far, and has allowed 1 ER in seven innings in each. We'll see if Guillen makes it to today's game as well.

The Chicago White Sox send their best starter to the mound to try to complete a sweep of the KC Royals. Esteban Loaiza goes for his 14th win against Kyle Snyder, and more importantly, tries to bring the White Sox within a game of first place in the AL Central. Both Carlos Lee and Magglio Ordonez missed the cycle by a triple last night.

Pedro Martinez faces Texas tonight. Pedro is 8-1 vs. Texas in his career, with a 1.19 ERA. During the time Pedro has been in the American League (1998 on), the Texas offense has averaged 5.47 runs per game. Amazingly, this isn't Pedro's best ERA vs. a team. He's 10-0 vs. the Mariners with an 0.94 ERA. Pedro has not allowed an earned run vs. Texas in 13 innings this year.

The premier game of the day in the NL is the rubber match of the Giants-Cubs series in Chicago. It's Kirk Rueter vs. Carlos Zambrano. Rueter has been pitching poorly lately, with a 6.53 ERA over his last five starts. Sosa has been killing lefties this year, with a .517 OBA and a .700 slugging percentage vs. them. Sosa is 10 for 28 career vs. Rueter, and seven of the ten hits have been for extra bases.
