Las Vegas - Just looked at the total for the White Sox/Astros game and it's listed at 7.0 runs. Dylan Cease (1.96 ERA) faces Justin Verlander (1.85 ERA). Add 'em both together and they don't even equal four. So, ya gotta go low right? Thinking about it, but scrolled back to Verlander's start against the Sox back on June 19, in Houston, and it was one of only two bad outings all season. Justin was hammered pretty good, giving up 9 hits and 4 earned runs in just 3 innings of work.

If you were on vacay or didnt see the dustup, Dejounte and Paolo had a little beef in an exhibition game at the Zeke-End Pro-am Basketball Tournament.

Las Vegas - After throwing a NO-NO, Reid Detmers lost his way and could not find a win in his next eight starts. Then it clicked once again, and Detmers last three starts have been solid. Actually, fabulous. He has allowed only 2 earned runs over the last 19 innings for a stupid skinny 0.95 ERA. On the other side, it's Dylan Bundy for the Twins. Bundy pitched for the Angels last season, and might be looking for an 'I told you so,' but he hasn't been too sharp the last two times out.

Las Vegas - San Francisco's Carlos Rodon had a meltdown against the Diamondbacks at the end of July after giving up two home runs in the first three innings against Arizona. Rodon came back to the dugout in the fifth inning and kicked a bat in the air, striking Thairo Estrada in the leg. Estrada went down, but remained in the game. Rodon apologized and has come back REALLY strong in his last two outings, allowing ONLY one earned run over the last 12 innings.
