Bartolo Colon stands between Max Scherzer and his 20th win as the Athletics finish their series with the Tigers. Colon comes off a two week vacation due to a groin strain. At his age, two weeks of rest should help him stay fresh for the rest of the season. Scherzer is 14-1 in his last 18 starts, his only loss coming in his single non-quality start in that time.

The Orioles need a win against the Red Sox as they send Chris Tillman against Jon Lester. Tillman needs two more wins this year to double his career total entering this season. He does give up the long-ball, however, with 26 homers allowed in 2013, 19 of those with the bases empty. Lester has only made nine of his 27 starts at home in 2013, but is 4-0 with a 3.64 ERA in Boston. It seems the Red Sox have not used him to his strength this year.

Enjoy!
