5/20 Game of the Day

Rangers (23-21) at Phillies (26-17)

Wilson (4-2) vs. Halladay (5-3)

Pick: Rangers

*Interleague play kicks off today, seemingly earlier than usual.  MLB didn't go full on cross-town rivalry weekend, as the Dodgers are on the South Side of Chicago and the Cubs head up to Boston for the first time since they threw the 1918 World Series.  Plenty of interesting matchups this weekend, but unfortunately, not many of them are tonight.  The Phightins have been scuffling lately, particularly at the plate, so I expect Wilson to shut down a few of their big lefties.  Obviously, a guy like Doc Halladay is on your team to pull you out of slumps, but the Boys in Blue might only need a few runs here and there to put the Phils to bed.

Fantasy Impact:  Endy Chavez is 5 for 13 (.385, .429 OBP) lifetime off of Halladay, and Carlos Ruiz can't throw out base stealers.

Record: One and fucking seven
