Roy Oswalt
Over his last four starts, dating back to June 24, Roy has posted a 2-0 line with a 1.86 ERA, 28K:6BB, and opponents are hitting .168/.222/.287. It would be nice to keep that rolling tonight as the Dodgers' offense isn't going to stay quiet for long, and on 4/22 the Dodgers did something no other team has done to Roy before - hit three homers in one inning. But it will be interesting to see Roy respond after abruptly leaving G86 vs Washington with numbness in his hand.
