On Deck:Those Fighting Phils

The Fanhouse's look at the day's most intriguing matchups

Philadelphia Phillies (8-11) vs. Washington Nationals (6-14)-7:05PM Est.

Look out world, here come the Phillies! After getting off to a horrible start that's basically had Charlie Manuel talking to himself and screaming at others, the Phillies have won four games in a row. With two more games scheduled against the Nationals, they could make it six in a row and be on the brink of .500. Aaron Rowand has been crushing for the Phils, and with John Patterson going for Washington, it's highly possible the entire Phils lineup wakes up tonight.

Cleveland Indians (10-7) vs. Texas Rangers (8-11)-7:05PM Est.

The Tribe has won three straight, including a two-game sweep up in Minnesota, and find themselves tied for first in the AL Central with the White Sox. Tonight C.C. Sabathia looks to continue his early season dominance. Sabathia comes into the game 3-0 with a 2.25 ERA. He'll be going against Brandon McCarthy, who's been making Ken Williams look like a damn genius thus far. McCarthy is 1-3 for the Rangers with a 10.20 ERA.

Arizona Diamondbacks (10-11) vs. San Diego Padres (12-8)-9:40PM Est.

This is tonight's best pitching matchup as Jake Peavy and Brandon Webb face off against each other. Webb won the NL Cy Young last season, and Jake Peavy might win it this season if he keeps up his current pace. He's 3-0 with a 2.13 ERA and he'll be going against a Diamondback team that is struggling. After starting the season off in first place, the DBacks have now lost five straight games and they're falling to the bottom of the division. Randy Johnson got rocked last night, but thankfully Webb is their ace, and they'll look to him to get things back on track.
