Philadelphia Flyer

Wednesday: Gil Meche vs. SEA - Meche is coming off a tough outing, but in the last month he's posted a 3.76 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. Wednesday's matchup against Seattle's offense should make him a fine start.

Friday: Paul Byrd @ TOR - Byrd has been solid since joining the Red Sox, and despite the fact that Toronto's offense has looked better of late, this looks like a solid matchup.

National League

Wednesday: Jeff Francis v. SD His solid pitching isn't translating to wins, but Francis has a 2.51 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP over the past month. A matchup against San Diego should lead to good stats, but facing Jake Peavy will make another win elusive.

Friday: Josh Johnson vs. PHI - Johnson has pitched very well since returning from Tommy John surgery this season, and in his two starts against the Phillies he's posted a 1.42 ERA.

Friday: Greg Maddux vs. SF - Maddux hasn't pitched very well since joining the Dodgers, but facing San Francisco should help.
