Games of the Day

The Angels and Devil Rays play a late afternoon game in Tampa, your chance to watch Jered Weaver over dinner. Jeff's younger and better brother impressed in his first two starts, striking out 13 in 13 1/3 innings while giving up just seven hits and three walks. He'll face Seth McClung, a pitcher with more walks (39) than strikeouts (31).

The Tigers and White Sox offer the best pitching matchup of the day. Justin Verlander tries to move the Tigers lead back to 2 1/2 games against Jose Contreras. Verlander is unhittable on the road this year, allowing opponents a mere .180 batting average, good for a 1.73 ERA. That's the best road ERA in the AL this year. Contreras is just as good at home, allowing a .181 batting average and a 2.27 ERA.

Enjoy!

I have had Verlander for every start accept his 1st. Except for his first start for me he has been great, but I am a little worried about today? I thought about benching him because of his first outing against Chisox, but I need strikeouts bad. I hope he keeps his stats intact. He likes like a keeper to me?
