Dodgers Seek Revenge

The Los Angeles Dodgers would no doubt like to forget their last series against the New York Mets.

The two teams meet for the first time since last season's National League division series in the opener of a three-game set Monday at Dodger Stadium.

The Mets (36-25) swept that best-of-five series, outscoring the Dodgers 19-11. New York lost in seven games to eventual World Series champion St. Louis in the NL championship series.

Rangers Could Sweep

The Milwaukee Brewers have been playing their worst baseball of the season over the last month, but they may have hit a new low.

A day after closer Francisco Cordero blew his first save of 2007, the Brewers try to avoid getting swept by the Texas Rangers when the squads conclude a three-game series on Sunday at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

Angels Cruising

The Los Angeles Angels look to move 18 games over .500 for the first time in almost two years Sunday when they close out their three-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Angels (40-23) have one of the best records in the majors, winning 23 of their last 30 games, including the first two of their series against the Cardinals (26-33) following Saturday's 9-3 victory.

Buehrle Tries for 100th

Mark Buehrle is anxious to finally notch a long-awaited milestone victory. The Chicago White Sox also would be happy to return to the win column.

Buehrle tries again for his 100th career win, and the slumping White Sox will try to avoid their sixth straight loss when they wrap up a weekend series against the Houston Astros on Sunday.

Drew Enjoying Arizona

Something about playing the Arizona Diamondbacks has brought out the best in J.D. Drew.

The Boston right fielder looks to continue his offensive outburst against the Diamondbacks on Saturday night, and lead the Red Sox to a third straight win when they play the middle game of their series at Chase Field.
