It was a rough week for the Orioles as they dropped six of seven games to the A's, Red Sox and Indians.

This week, they'll look to get back on track as they travel to Detroit to face the Tigers and then return to Baltimore to host the Indians.

Here are the pitching matchups and fantasy nuggets for the week ahead.

For the three-game series at Detroit:

Monday, 7:05 -- Jeremy Bonderman (0-0, 3.18 ERA) vs. Daniel Cabrera (1-2, 4.09 ERA)

Tuesday, 7:05 -- Chad Durbin (1-1, 6.65 ERA) vs. Adam Loewen (2-0, 3.20 ERA)

Wednesday, 1:05 -- Nate Robertson (2-1, 2.43 ERA) vs. Steve Trachsel (1-2, 4.13 ERA)

For the three-game series against Cleveland:

Friday, 7:05 -- Erik Bedard (3-2, 6.09 ERA) vs. Jeremy Sowers (0-1, 4.40 ERA)

Pitching matchups for Saturday and Sunday have not been announced.

For the O's:

Who's hot?

Brian Roberts - After a slow start, the O's second baseman is putting up numbers like everyone expected. Against the Indians, he went 5-for-12 (.417) with a pair of RBIs, three runs and a stolen base. Over the last week, Roberts is batting .357. Overall, he's at .255 with 16 runs and eight stolen bases.

Adam Loewen - The O's lefty allowed two hits and one earned run in six innings in his last start against the Red Sox. Loewen is 2-0 with a 3.20 ERA on the season, but he's allowed five walks or more in three straight starts. Overall, he's walked 24 and struck out 18.

Who's not?

Nick Markakis - He's just 2-for-24 (.083) over his last six games. Markakis has driven in one run over his past seven games and hasn't homered in his last 10. Overall he's batting .235, but has driven in 15 runs.

Chris Ray - The O's closer has only allowed runs twice in 13 appearances this season. However, one of those times was last Thursday against the Red Sox when he surrendered a grand slam to Wily Mo Pena. Overall, Ray has seven saves. He's struck out 14 and walked two.

For the Tigers:

Who's hot?

Magglio Ordonez - The 33 year old is scorching after a slow start to '07. He hit .571 with a pair of homers and 11 RBIs in the past week. On the season, Ordonez is hitting .330 with four homers and 24 RBIs.

Chad Durbin - Detroit's starter is coming off his best outing of the year. Against the White Sox last week, Durbin tossed eight scoreless innings for the win. He struck out nine and didn't walk a batter. As stated above, Durbin is slated to start Tuesday against the O's.

Who's not?

Sean Casey - Detroit's first baseman is off to a slow start, batting .192 through 23 games. He has failed to homer in '07 and has just one RBI on the season.

Joel Zumaya - The hard-throwing reliever has given up at least one earned run in four of his last five appearances. Zumaya had 97 strikeouts in 83 1/3 innings last season. His strikeout numbers -- 13 in 15 1/3 innings -- have still been good this season.

For the Indians:

Who's hot?

Jhonny Peralta - Cleveland's shortstop is 6-for-19 (.316) with two homers and five RBIs in his last five games. Overall, Peralta is batting just .227 and he's struck out 24 times in 21 games.

Fausto Carmona - The Indians' starter tossed a gem against the Orioles, allowing one earned run in 8 1/3 innings Sunday. He's allowed two earned runs or fewer in three straight starts, but reports say Carmona will be sent down to Triple-A this week when Cliff Lee returns from injury.

Who's not?

Ryan Garko - Cleveland's first baseman has just one hit in his last 10 at-bats. Garko hit .292 in 50 games with the Indians last season. He's batting .255 through 16 games this year.

Joe Borowski - He pitched well in his lone appearance against the Orioles, but Cleveland's closer gave up runs in his previous two outings. Borowski's nine saves are impressive but his 9.00 ERA and 1.73 WHIP are not.
