Cal League Condensed: 7/15 Preview

Modesto Nuts v. Lancaster JetHawks 7:00 PM PT
Rob Scahill v. Leandro Cespedes
Notes: Rob Scahill allowed three earned runs in 5.2 IP in his last start, his shortest outing of the second half... Scahill got a win against Lancaster in June, allowing three runs in six innings... Lancaster's starter is unclear to me because they skipped what I expected to be a Patrick Urckfitz start... Leandro Cespedes got his first win of the season in his last start... Game will be available on 970 AM in Modesto and 1380 AM in Lancaster as well as www.jethawks.com and www.milb.com...

Inland Empire 66ers v. Lake Elsinore Storm 7:05 PM PT
Josh Walter v. Juan Oramas
Notes: Josh Walter walked seven innings in 3.1 IP in his last start... Walter allowed five runs in 3.1 IP in each of his last two starts... Juan Oramas allowed one run in 2.1 IP in his last appearance, which was against Inland Empire... Oramas has a 5.40 ERA in four second half appearances, two starts... Game will be available on 1050 AM in Inland Empire and 92.9 FM in Lake Elsinore as well as www.kcaaradio.com and www.milb.com...

San Jose Giants v. High Desert Mavericks 7:05 PM PT
Oliver Odle v. Jake Wild
Notes: Oliver Odle allowed five runs in five innings in his last start... Odle hasn't walked a batter in three second half starts... Jake Wild allowed six runs in each of is last two starts... Wild has a 7.79 ERA at home this year... Game will be available on 960 AM in High Desert as well as www.sjgiants.com and www.milb.com...

Visalia Rawhide v. Stockton Ports 7:05 PM PT
Dan Taylor v. Dallas Braden
Notes: Dan Taylor allowed six runs in five innings in his last start... Taylor has allowed home runs in three consecutive starts... Dallas Braden will be making a rehab start... I think Stockton will just go to their regular bullpen after he's finished... Game will be available on 1270 AM in Visalia and 1280 AM in Stockton as well as www.milb.com...

Rancho Cucamonga Quakes v. Bakersfield Blaze 7:30 PM PT
