Roy Oswalt
In the four starts since returning from injury, Oswalt has thrown two quality starts (one of them a gem), and two disaster starts. Roy is 7-5, and is in real danger of not winning ten games in a season for the first time in his career.

Rich Harden
Last three appearances:
| Date-Opp | IP | H/ER | K:BB | GB/FB | Pit/Str |
| 8/11 vPHI | 7 | 2/2 | 6:2 | 6/11 | 87/54 |
| 8/19 @SD | 7 | 1/0 | 8:3 | 6/6 | 103/62 |
| 8/26 vWSH | 6 | 5/2 | 5:2 | 8/8 | 95/66 |
In the eight starts Harden has made since the All-Star Break, only one of them hasn't been a quality one, and that one (7/31 @ FLA) was because he only went 5IP, 5H/2ER, 11K:3BB, and his pitch count was running up on him.
