Although it’s a long week ahead, but in the period in-between as we rejoice the former holiday next Sunday, we can also delight in a week that offers prospective postseason previews along with numerous stupendous pitching pairings.
A glance at the next week divulge National League Central leading Milwaukee, the club with the most excellent record in baseball, meeting the NL East-leaders New York Mets, as two American League division leaders, Cleveland (Central) and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, are also programmed to face each other.

The week will also witness such outstanding pitching matches as Tom Glavine of the Mets going opposite San Francisco’s Matt Cain, victorious John Maine of the Mets facing Giants right-hander Matt Morris, Cliff Lee of Cleveland facing Ervin Santana of the Angels and a matchup of future Hall of Famers and former collogues — Greg Maddux of the Padres facing John Smoltz of the Braves.
