Bay Area Baseball

Beckett has had a rough season so far, but with the Red Sox offense backing him he should have plenty of time to get in a groove before the postseason.

All around the Major Leagues tomorrow aces are taking the hill. With Cy Young candidacy at stake, keep an eye on these starters:

Joe Saunders (14-5, 3.07) tries to keep pace with Cliff Lee when he takes on Lee’s  Indians and lefty Jeremy Sowers.

Ryan Dempster (13-5, 2.92) looks to build on his road record against Florida and Chris Volstad.

Edinson Volquez (14-5, 2.86) goes up against 13-5 Kyle Lohse in a matchup involving two of the winningest pitchers in the NL.

Johan Santana (10-7, 2.89) goes against new Pirate’s ace Jeff Karstens. Santana, who hasn’t been helped by the bullpen, should have a day against Pittsburgh’s struggling offense.

Mike Mussina (15-7, 3.30) tries to keep the Yankees in the race against KC and Brian Bannister.

Aaron Cook (14-8, 3.87) takes the hill vs Washington in a battle of disapointing teams.

Josh Beckett (11-8, 3.92) looks to turn things around against Toronto.

Tim Lincecum (12-3, 2.67) comes off an injury shortened start vs Atlanta and Charlie Morton.

Randy Johnson and Roy Oswalt, both 10-8 battle in a matchup of former studs who can still get it done.

Also: Scott Kazmir, Clayton Kershaw and Cole Hamels also start for their teams, the three lefties have all pitched well recently and need to win to keep their teams on the right track.
