Buchholz gets to take on the Jays again. Will he bring his sunscreen? |

Guess who is finally playing like the World Series favorite everyone predicted? |

vs. CLE vs. HOU |
Have we mentioned yet how much we love the non-Porcello parts of this rotation? |

vs. COL vs. NYM |
Looks like they figured out those bullpen problems. |

vs. PHI vs. ATL |
Hosting Upton for the first time is certainly interesting, so long as you feel you can stomach Heath Bell closing again. |

@ SEA vs. TEX |
They remain an exciting club, but the recent rash of injuries has dampened that somewhat. |

vs. NYY @ LAA |
Don't look now but Hosmer and Moustakas are showing signs of life. Actually do look, that makes the Royals much more interesting. |

@ KC vs. SEA |
Now that we know there is a chance of seeing Vernon Wells play third base, the Yankees are a whole lot more intriguing. |

vs. MIL @ MIA |
Dusty Baker's machinations are the bane of the Watchability Rankings. |

@ CIN @ PIT |
We want to watch Carlos Gomez now that he is becoming such a monster, but oh that pitching staff. |

@ NYM vs. MIL |
Releasing Jonathan Sanchez is such an easy way to earn a boost in the Watchability Rankings it almost feels like cheating. |

vs. STL @ TOR |
This rotation used to be a daily treat. My how the mighty have fallen. |

vs. SD vs. BOS |
Grab some popcorn and see how long this "Maddon getting ejected every game" thing lasts. |

@ MIN vs. SD |
The Oriole magic lives on, but it would take some serious wizardy to make a week of them playing the Twins and Padres interesting. |
| 17 |

@ DET @ PHI |
The Indians are playing some great baseball right now, but we can only bump them up so much because the more the Tribe wins, the more Nick Swisher douchebaggery we are subjected to. |

@ STL vs. CHC |
The Rox are trolling us, having Dexter Fowler lay down sac bunts, demoting a pitcher after turning in six shutout innings and Tulo constantly dealing with nagging injuries. |

vs. MIA vs. WAS |
Bonus points since Matt Kemp is apparently the best human ever. |

vs. PIT @ STL |
Enough poking fun at the rest of the lousy Met roster, let's just shut up and enjoy the hell out Matt Harvey. |

@ TB @ BAL |
They are showing some real life of late plus Nick Hundley might've just become a folk hero for the anti-PED user crowd. |

vs. OAK @ NYY |
This team isn't that bad, but every game of theirs feels like a struggle. |

Oswaldo Arcia, you have our attention. |

What's up, Doc? Nothing. Nothing at all. |

@ BOS vs. SF |
Not only was the J.A. Happ incident scary to watch, but now the rotation loses yet another arm and the ones they haven't lost have been very disappointing. |

@ CWS vs. KC |
The only reason to watch the Angels anymore is to see if they've fired Mike Scioscia yet. |

vs. LAA @ MIN |
The Pale Hose facing the Halos and Twinkies means a week worth of games chock full of frustratingly inept offense. |

Tune in this week to see which basic rule of baseball manager Bo Porter will Jedi mind trick the umpiring crew into forgetting next. |

Nothing says, "hey maybe I should just watch whatever is on my DVR" more than "the Cubs officially name Kevin Gregg their closer." |
