It's all Weavers for the AL West coast games today as Jeff challenges his original team and Jered faces the improving Rangers. Jeff pulls the tougher challenge as the Tigers send Justin Verlander to the mound. Verlander's ERA is a run lower on the road than at home, based mostly on a .318 road slugging percentage allowed. Since returning from the DL, however, Jeff Weaver is 2-0 with a 1.67 ERA in six starts, and even recorded a complete game shutout. He's 1-3 against his former team in four starts.

Farther south in Anaheim, Jered Weaver hosts Brian McCarthy and the Texas Rangers. McCarthy got off to a rough start, allowing 22 earned runs in April, but only 16 since. Jered isn't showing the same control as 2006. Last year he walked 33 batters in 123 innings. So far, he's walked 30 in 76.

The Diamondbacks go for a sweep of the Padres as they send Brandon Webb against Justin Germano. Justin hasn't won in his last four starts, a period in which he's allowed four home runs in 22 2/3 innings. He's only given up seven on the season. Webb's control is the reason he's not having another Cy Young type season. In 2006 he walked 1.9 batters per nine innings. This season, that's up to 3.2 per 9.

Finally, the Phillies go for their fourth win in a row as they try to hold off losing their 10,000th game. If they lose tonight, the whole country gets to see it in HD as ESPN carries the game against the Cardinals. So far, avoiding the milestone inspired the team to play better as they've outscored their opponents 31-11 in the three games.

Enjoy!
