Just a few quick thougts!

Detroit seems to be easy win today, they do not have advantage in pitching, but they need to win to keep first place in AL central, and most important, Oakland will be without Kotsay and Swisher, without them, Oakland will be in problems to make runs.

Boston have easy job against Tampa, Bay, the worst team in league, Wakefield have great numbers against them in 24 start he made 17 wins and only 2 defeat, so we can expect another fine pitching tonight, for Tampa we have Shields, great young pitcher, but throwing on Fenway Park is no easy for anyone...

Houston with Oswalt should be a good pick against low hitter power team like Dodgers, they have huge problem with scoring, and to play against one of the best pitcher in league is not easy job. It is very difficult to say how will Astros offense act tonight, because they are very unpredictable, but I hope tonight line up will be good enough to make at least 3-4 runs which should be enough against very lousy Dodgers.
