Wilson has made for the Texas Rangers. Minnesota's Brian Duensing is certainly trying. Each red-hot southpaw will be looking to win his sixth straight decision Wednesday night as the Twins try to avoid a third straight loss. Wed, 25 Aug 2010 05:05:04 +0100 http://therx.com/blog_arisdg1-mlb-previews.php There are about six weeks left in the regular season, but the NL West-leading San Diego Padres already may be looking ahead to the playoffs.

Facing Oakland ace Trevor Cahill could make it tough for the Rays to open its West Coast trip. Tampa Bay tries to extend its winning streak to six Thursday night when it opens a four-game set with an A's club that's won its last six home series. Thu, 19 Aug 2010 03:34:13 +0100 http://therx.com/blog_textam4-mlb-previews.php Although the Texas Rangers are cruising toward their first division title in 10 years, they haven't done well against the AL East - the division which will produce their first opponent in the playoffs.
