On Saturday, he allowed three runs and five hits in an 8-4 home win over Cleveland. Rogers aims to turn in a similar performance while trying to avoid a third straight loss to the White Sox for the first time in his career.

Houston - Milwaukee under 8.5
Moehler faced the Brewers on May 31, allowing three runs and six hits in five innings in a 4-1 loss. He is 3-7 with a 4.31 ERA in nine starts and nine relief appearances versus Milwaukee.

He is coming off his best outing of the season, giving up two hits while striking out five in seven shutout innings in a 6-1 win over St. Louis on Friday night.

The Brewers will counter with Ben Sheets (6-1, 2.62), who is 2-0 with a 1.52 ERA in his last four starts. He allowed one run and five hits in six innings as Milwaukee lost 6-4 at Colorado on Friday night.Sheets is 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA in two starts versus the Astros this season, and 11-8 with a 3.71 ERA in 26 career outings against them

Haren, meanwhile, has not received a decision in two starts and one relief appearance versus New York, posting a 2.87 ERA in 15 2-3 innings.

The left-hander gave up two runs and seven hits while striking out five in six innings against San Diego on Friday night, but lost 2-1.

Boston (Lester 4-3, 3.50 ERA) - Baltimore (Guthrie 3-6, 3.40 ERA)
In his last outing Lester limited Tampa to eight hits and only one run. He had five strike-outs and didn't walk anyone. In two games against the Orioles this season, both in Baltimore, he allowed five runs and twelve hits in eleven innings played. That was in Baltimore. In last four starts at home, Lester is 3-0 with 0.61 ERA and is 3-0 with 3.41 ERA in five starts against Baltimore.
Guthrie has almost the same record this year against Boston as Lester against Baltimore: sixteen hits and five runs in twelve innings played. He is 1-0 with 2.61 ERA in five starts against Boston.
This could be pretty tight pitching match up but I'm counting on Boston's powerful line up and bullpen to do the job.
Pick: Boston Red Sox RL

Colorado (Reynolds 1-3, 5.24 ERA) - San Francisco (Sanchez 5-3, 3.70 ERA)
Sanchez is dog again? Against Reynolds? I'll take it.
In his last start Sanchez blanked the Nationals. He allowed only four hits and walked two with four strike-outs. In two starts against the Rockies this year he allowed thirteen hits and four runs in twelve innings played. He is 3-0 with 2.05 ERA in his last four starts.
Reynolds will have his first appearance against the Giants. In his last start against Milwaukee he allowed four hits and two runs while walking two and strike-out none. He pitched six innings and threw only 73 pitches.
So, I'm looking for one run more.
Pick: San Francisco Giants ML
