This is the rare day when I'm not crazy about any of the games. My Rangers-Tigers comment holds up from yesterday, but the most important game of the day has to be Los Angeles at Arizona. The Diamondbacks need the game to earn a split of the four game series and stay ahead of the Dodgers. Randy Johnson comes off the DL to pitch. He's pitched well but not often. He's only averaging six inning per game, which means he's going to put pressure on the bullpen. He's also allowed all six of his home runs this season in Arizona. On the bright side, his strikeouts and walks are back to their former levels.

He'll face Randy Wolf. Wolf is interesting in that his high strikeout rate hasn't led to a low opposition batting average. That's especially true away from Dodger stadium. On the road in 2007, Wolf allowed 17 extra base hits versus 16 at home. That may not seem like a big difference, but there have been 100 fewer at bats against him on the road this season. We could have a bit of a slugfest on our hands this afternoon.

Enjoy!
