Tuesday, July 24: Daisuke Matsuzaka (11-7)(BOS) vs. CC Sabathia (13-4)(CLE)
This could be the match up of the year. A good day to be a fan in Cleveland.

Jonathan Papelbon: 1.0IP, 0H, 0R, 0ER, 0BB, 2SO - SV
CC Sabathia: 7.0IP, 5H, 1R, 1ER, 0BB, 7SO, 0HR - L
Well pitched all around, this probably was one of the best games of the season. Dice-K and the Boston bullpen managed a shutout exactly when they needed it against the Cleveland ace.
Wednesday, July 25: Scott Olsen (8-7)(FLA) vs. Brandon Webb (8-8)(ARI)
I seriously doubt Olsen will make this start. And if the reports of his actions have any truth he shouldn't be making any starts until he gets some serious help. Webb, however, is worthy of rooting for.
Marlins 0, Diamondbacks 7
(Win Probability graphing by Fangraphs)Marlins player of the game: (3B) Miguel Cabrera - WPA +.080
1/3, 0R, 0HR, 0RBI, 1BB, 0SO
Marlins lowest contributor: (SP) Scott Olsen - WPA -.295
5.0IP, 11H, 7R, 7ER, 3BB, 4SO, 1HR
Diamondbacks player of the game: (SP) Brandon Webb - WPA +.203
7.0IP, 6H, 0R, 0ER, 3BB, 8SO, 0HR
Diamondbacks lowest contributor: (SP) Brandon Webb (as a hitter) - WPA -.044
0/3, 0R, 0HR, 0RBI, 0BB, 1SO
Brandon Webb: 7.0IP, 6H, 0R, 0ER, 3BB, 8SO, 0HR - W
So Olsen posts bail and makes a terrible start. I can't imagine the Marlins tolerating him much longer. Webb, on the other hand, was brilliant as he shut out the fish.
Thursday, July 26: Justin Verlander (11-3)(DET) vs. John Danks (6-7)(CHW)
At 11-3 and a no-hitter I'm beginning to think that last year's AL Rookie of the Year might be pretty good.
Tigers 3, White Sox 4
(Win Probability graphing by Fangraphs)Tigers player of the game: (SS) Omar Infante - WPA +.176
1/1, 2R, 1HR, 1RBI, 1BB, 0SO

White Sox lowest contributor: (C) AJ Pierzynski - WPA -.163
1/4, 1R, 0HR, 0RBI, 0BB, 1SO
Justin Verlander: 7.0IP, 3H, 3R, 3ER, 3BB, 5SO, 0HR - ND
Zach Miner: 1.0IP, 1H, 1R, 0ER, 1BB, 0SO, 0HR - BS, L
John Danks: 6.2IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, 5SO, 1HR - ND
Bobby Jenks: 1.0IP, 0H, 0R, 0ER, 0BB, 2SO, 0HR - W
Quality starts from both starters and they both come away with no decisions. Zach pretty much lost this one single handed.
