This is a big one but looking at the remainder of the schedule and what's at stake from here on out these are the Two Teams that could throw a Rally Monkey Wrench into the "Fight for October" on the Junior Circuit. Yes I did say "Rally Monkey" and the Halos won't need him so I put "Right Turn Clyde in the Post.
The Rays are just a game back of the AL East leader in the Boston Red Sox. The Rays are also the leader in the AL Wild Card and 3 1/2 games ahead of the 3rd place in the AL East O's who are sitting in a pretty good position considering how they have played in the last few weeks. The Red Sox will be playing out in McCovey Cove in an Inter League Three-Piece vs #OrangeOctober...the Gigantes. Its is Late August Hardball with every "W" or "L" impacting someone.

TB Hellickson (10-6) vs BAL Chen (6-6)
The Fireworks start Tonight as 2012 AL Cy Young Winner David Price of the Rays goes up against 14 game-winner Chris Tillman of the Orioles and this match up should set the tone for the series. The Rays they follow Price up with Cobb and Hellickson as the O's go Gonzalez and Chen. There is no one getting cheated at the Dish in this one as you need to bring your best Lumber.
