Matt Fargo's Diamond Preview - A look at the upcoming week in baseball
Monday, June 23rd
Arizona Diamondbacks at Boston Red Sox
7:05 PM ET
A battle of first place teams takes
place on Monday. Arizona remains 3.5
games in front of the Dodgers in the
National League West but it has been
a struggle for the Diamondbacks. Since
May 20th, Arizona is a dismal 11-21 over
its last 32 games including a sweep at
the hands of the Twins over the weekend.
Boston avoided a sweep against St. Louis
thanks to an extra-inning win on Sunday.
Despite losing two of three, Boston still
owns the best home record in the American
League.
Tuesday, June 24th
St. Louis Cardinals at Detroit Tigers
7:05 PM ET
Interleague
play continues including this matchup
of teams trying to keep pace in their
respective divisions. The Cardinals
are coming off a big series win at
Boston to remain 4.5 games back of
Chicago while Detroit is playing its
best baseball of the season with wins
in 12 of its last 15 games. The Tigers
are just five games back. The pitching
duel should be great with the Cardinals
going with Braden Looper and the Tigers
countering with Kenny Rogers. Both pitchers
have identical 1.23 ERA’s over
their last three starts.
Wednesday, June 25th
Cincinnati Reds at Toronto Blue Jays
7:05 PM ET
The best pitching matchup of the night
takes place north of the border as Aaron
Harang looks to turn things around while
Roy Halladay is just happy to be on the
mound. Harang is one of the better pitchers
but is struggling with a 3-10 record
to go along with a 4.33 ERA. Cincinnati
has dropped six of his last seven starts.

Halladay meanwhile is thankful after
taking a line drive to the right temple,
forcing him to leave his last start.
Everything checked out and he will look
to improve upon his 2.90 ERA which is
6th in the A.L.
Thursday, June 26th
Tampa Bay Rays at Florida Marlins 12:10
PM ET
The Florida rivals conclude their three-game
set Thursday afternoon. The surprising
Rays entered the week just a game and
a half out of first place in the American
League East while Florida remains just
a game back in the National League East.
Tampa Bay took two of three in the first
meeting this season and this pitching
matchup between Matt Garza and Mark Hendrickson
is a rematch of the game 12 days ago.
Both pitched well but it was Garza who
got the win however he comes in 1-3 with
a 6.25 ERA on the road.
Friday, June 27th
New York Mets at New York Yankees 2:05
PM ET
The final edition of the 2008 subway
series starts on Friday. This game is
a makeup of the rainout from May 16th
and after this game, the two head from
the Bronx to Queens to start the three-game
set at Shea Stadium with gametime at
8:10. The Mets took the two games in
the first series last month but right
now it is the Yankees who are playing
the best baseball. They have won eight
of their last 10 games and are 21-10
over their last 31 games. The Mets are
back to .500 but are still stuck in neutral.
