On Deck: The Sabathia Auditions Begin

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

Cleveland Indians (14-8) vs. Toronto Blue Jays (13-12)-7:05PM Est.

We already told you about the possibility that C.C. Sabathia could be traded this season if the Indians are out of contention, but there's just one minor problem with it. The Indians are currently in first place, and have won eight of their last ten. They're also 5-0 when Sabathia starts, even though he gave up five runs in six innings in his last start. The Blue Jays counter with A.J. Burnett as tonight we'll figure out whose initials are better.

New York Mets (15-9) vs. Florida Marlins (12-13)-7:10PM Est.

If you like runs, I suggest you watch this game. The combined ERA of both starting pitchers is 28.15. Ricky Nolasco takes his 20.25 ERA to the mound for the Fish, and rookie Mike Pelfrey brings his 7.90 ERA with him. It should be fun. For some reason, the Mets just can't pitch at Shea Stadium. They have a Major League best team ERA of 2.96. On the road their ERA is 1.50, but at Shea Stadium it's 4.38.

Texas Rangers (10-15) vs. New York Yankees (9-14)-8:05PM Est.

George Steinbrenner may be able to send faxes from the grave, but that doesn't mean the Yankees will rise from the AL East cellar. Tonight, Philip Hughes will take another stab at this whole Major League pitcher thing he's trying out. He'll be going against Kameron Loe who's finally earned that starting spot I lobbied so hard for him to get, and has made me look stupid so far with that 5.21 ERA. Listen, Loe, I don't need your help looking stupid.
