For the O's:

Who's hot?

Brian Roberts - The O's second baseman got off to a slow start this season, but is finding his groove. Roberts is 10-for-24 (.417) in his last six games. On the season, he's up to .279 with 12 stolen bases and 21 runs scored.

Steve Trachsel - He's been a consistent producer in the Orioles' rotation. Trachsel will never deliver big strikeout numbers, but he's allowed three runs or fewer in six of his seven starts. However, Trachsel has only one win to show for it. In his last start -- Monday against the Indians -- Trachsel allowed one earned run in six innings.

Who's not?

Jay Gibbons - The O's veteran has been out of the lineup for three straight games and is in the midst of a 3-for-38 slump. On the season, Gibbons is batting .188 with one homer and eight RBIs.

Brian Burres - The 26 year old was shelled in his first career start against the Indians, allowing five earned runs and seven hits in 3 2/3 innings. Because of the injuries to the Orioles' starting rotation, Burres will get another shot Friday at Fenway.

For the Devil Rays:

Who's hot?

B.J. Upton - The talented 22 year old has found a home as Tampa Bay's everyday second baseman and is producing tremendous results. Upton is batting .371 with six homers, 22 RBIs and five stolen bases.

James Shields - Tampa Bay's right-hander has thrown into the eighth inning in three straight starts and is 3-0 on the season. Shields is piling up the strikeouts with 29 in his last 23 1/3 innings. He's struck out 45 on the season and has a 3.74 ERA.

Who's not?

Rocco Baldelli - He's been in center field for 15 games this season and has DH'd in 13 others. Baldelli is currently stuck in a 1-for-21 (.048) slump. On the season, he's at .241 with five homers, 12 RBIs and four steals.

Edwin Jackson - The Devil Rays starter is 0-5 with a 6.99 ERA in six starts. In his last two outings, Jackson has allowed eight earned runs in 7 2/3 innings. For the season, he's struck out 20 while walking 18.

For the Red Sox:

Who's hot?

Manny Ramirez - Boston's left fielder has been on a tear over the last six games after starting off slow this season. Manny is 11-for-25 (.440) with three homers, two doubles and six RBIs in his last six games. On the season, he's hitting .245 with five homers and 17 RBIs.

Josh Beckett - Boston's 26-year-old righty is 6-0 with a 2.72 ERA. He's struck out 35 and walked nine. Beckett won 16 games in his first season with the Red Sox, but did so with a 5.01 ERA.

Who's not?

Julio Lugo - The Red Sox's shortstop is 2-for-23 (.087) in his last five games. Lugo's overall average is .221, but he's produced in other areas, with 13 RBIs, 17 runs and nine stolen bases.

Daisuke Matsuzaka - The product hasn't matched the hype so far. Dice-K was hammered in his last outing against the Mariners, giving up seven earned runs and surrendering five walks in five innings. He's given up four runs or more in three straight starts. Overall, Matsuzaka is 3-2 with a 5.45 ERA and 39 strikeouts.
