The Rays look to officially bury the Red Sox in the playoff race with the series finale at Fenway Park in front of an ESPN audience.
Tampa Bay Rays at Boston Red Sox
Tampa Bay’s impressive 14-5 victory over the Red Sox on Tuesday pushed their lead in the Wild Card race to 7 1/2 games. Also by winning, the Rays snapped a three-game losing streak while picking up a game on the Yankees, moving them within 1 1/2 games of the American League East leaders. “Winning beats losing,” said manager Joe Maddon. The offense was led by outfielder Carl Crawford’s career-high three doubles, as he compiled his Major League-leading eighth four-hit game of the season. It’s important to note that with yesterday’s win, the club has not tied last year’s win total and the team is 265-197 since the start of the 2008 season. Tampa Bay is 35-23 against division opponents (+610) and the total is 31-26 O/U in those contests. The team will be playing its 15th game as a road underdog of +100 to +125, posting a 6-8 record in the previous 14 instances (-140).

Both of tonight’s starting pitchers are searching for their first career victory in this NL West rivalry.
Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants
Los Angeles looks to avoid being swept in this three-game weekend series, after dropping a 2-1 contest on Saturday night to the Giants at AT&T Park. The loss was the Dodgers’ fourth straight, leaving them seven games behind first-place San Diego and 5.5 games back of today’s opponent in the NL Wild Card race. “All we’re doing is digging ourselves a deeper hole that we’re going to have to come back out of if we expect to do anything,” manager Joe Torre said. The team was shorthanded on Saturday due to the trade of Blake Dewitt, Andre Ethier going home to see the birth of his second child and Manny Ramirez still on the disabled list. Los Angeles is 9-7 when playing on Sunday this year (+70) and 37-33 on this day the past three seasons (-160). The club is still 26-15 at tonight’s venue since the 2006 season and have a solid 25-12 record against the division (+1,320).

A pair of dominating left-handers take center stage in the Big Apple on ESPN.
St. Louis Cardinals at New York Mets
St. Louis is set to play the second game of this three game series this evening, as part of a six-game, seven-day road trip. The Cardinals fell 8-2 in defeat on Tuesday evening at Citi Field and the team is now 8-4 since the All-Star break. The club is batting .294 and averaging 6.0 runs per game in its 55 wins, while hitting just .223 and scoring 2.5 runs a game in 45 losses. Surprisingly, the team picked up a loss with starting pitcher Adam Wainwright on the hill, as they are 40-23 in games involving the right-hander, Chris Carpenter and tonight’s starter. It was the fifth time in 11 road starts this season that the Cards have scored no runs or one run while Wainwright was in the game. The lineup went 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10 runners on the night. St. Louis has posted a 2-3 mark as a road underdog of +100 to +125 this season (-90) and an even 29-29 the last three years (+250).

The Rays come back from a long road trip and host the struggling Tigers on national television.
Detroit Tigers at Tampa Bay Rays
Detroit split a day-night doubleheder against the Blue Jays at Comerica Park on Sunday and now begin a seven-day road trip with the first game of four against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Tigers have won eight of the last 11 meetings versus the Rays dating back to September 25, 2008. The club has compiled a 10-4 mark against teams from the AL East division. Detroit hopes to turn things around starting with the series, losing nine of its last 12 games and falling two games behind the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central race. This may prove difficult considering the Tigers are 16-29 away from Comerica Park on the year (-1,350) and have averaged just 2.2 runs in losing six straight on the road. After playing 20 games this month, the Tigers have compiled an even 10-10 record in July (-190).

Two of the best interleague teams in all of baseball get set to square off in Game 2 of this series in front of a national audience.
Detroit Tigers at New York Mets
Detroit suffered a 14-6 blowout loss against the New York Mets in its first game of nine-game road trip, after finishing a nine-game home stand with an 8-1 record. “We made about as many bad pitches in one game as you could make,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. The Tigers have dropped nine of their last 12 road games, as the pitching staff has produced a terrible 6.36 ERA over that span. One member of the until that hasn’t been part of those troubles is closer Jose Valverde. The Tigers will be in a solid position if he enters the game tonight, as he’s converted each of his last 16 save opportunities and tops all AL relievers with a 0.59 ERA.

All eyes will be on former Red Sox OF Manny Ramirez with the Dodgers looking to avoid a sweep in this interleague clash.
Los Angeles Dodgers at Boston Red Sox
Los Angeles is set to play its sixth game (2-3) of a nine-game road trip, as the team looks to avoid being swept by Boston. “You know you’re in a fight when you play in this ballpark,” Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. The club is five games into a stretch of playing 15 of 18 games on the road. Tonight’s television coverage will certainly center around OF Manny Ramirez’s return to Beantown. Since his arrival in Los Angeles on July 31, 2008, the Dodgers have a 163-121 record, the best mark in the NL over that span. In two games this weekend at Fenway, Ramirez is 3-for-9 with a home run and RBI. The team finds itself a game back of the division-leading San Diego Padres going into tonight’s game.

A battle of NL Central opponents is featured to close out the week of MLB action.
Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals
Milwaukee is playing the sixth game of its current seven-game road trip to Florida (1-3) and St. Louis (0-2). The Brewers placed themselves in an early hole by allowing four runs in the first inning in a 5-4 loss to the Cardinals, as the team has allowed 49 runs in the first frame this season – the most of any inning. “There’s been a bunch of games when we’ve been behind,” Brewers manager Ken Macha said. “I’ve got no answers for that.” The team is getting use to the idea of scheduling left-handed starters in 2010, with Sunday’s matchup representing the 30th game they’ve scheduled a southpaw against the opposition. This represents a challenge against a Cardinals’ club that is 9-6 versus lefties this season (+80), but the total is 5-9-1 O/U in those games.
