7/4 What To Look For

Probably Starters: Rodrigo Lopez (RHP) BAL (5-9, 6.32) vs. Jose Contreras (RHP) CHI (8-0, 3.54)

Although he allowed just one earned run to Washington on July 23, Lopez has struggeld this year. Lefties are hitting .326 against him while righties are hitting, so expect to see a lot of left-handed hitters in Ozzie Guillen's lineup this afternoon.

Jose Contreras has won his last 16 straight decisions; however, he had an ERA of 6.21 in June. His home ERA is 2.76. Lefties his .239 and righties hit .241 against Contreras. Having found his independence from Fidel Castro's regime, it would be fitting for Contreras to win on Independence Day.
