The Marlins are holding on for dear life as the travel to Shea to face a Mets team looking to clinch the NL East at home. It could be a high scoring affair as Brian Moehler faces Steve Trachsel. Moehler is being hit at a .351 clip on the road, while Trachsel is giving up a .500 slugging percentage at home.

The White Sox trail the Tigers by five as they open a three game series against the Tigers. It's a battle of lefties as Kenny Rogers faces Mark Buehrle. This is a tough series for Twins fans, I would think. You might want the White Sox to win, so the Twins could take over first place. But you might also want the Tigers to win, so the Twins can secure the Wild Card and a playoff spot.

Rogers has shutdown the White Sox this season, allowing just three earned runs in 27 innings. Detroit's had no problem against Buehrle this season, scoring seven runs in 11 1/3 innings against the White Sox ace.

Finally, the Padres and Dodgers finish up their weekend series and 2006 series as Jake Peavy faces Brad Penny. The two pitchers went in opposite directions after the All-Star break. Peavy's brought his ERA down, posting a 3.77 mark since the break. Peavy's main improvement was keeping the ball in the park. Penny, on the other hand, saw his walks and homers allowed go up, and he's been hit for a 5.81 ERA in that same time.
