A.L. east.(BASEBALL: SECOND HALF PREVIEW: JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER)
BALTIMORE ORIOLES
KEY PLAYER: If RHP Daniel Cabrera learns how to stay in games longer and be more consistent from start to start, the Orioles will have three starters-Cabrera, LHP Erik Bedard and RHP Kris Benson--who can match up with anyone in the A.L. Cabrera's fastball is consistently in the mid-90s and rarely is hit hard, but he leads the majors in walks, which means high pitch counts and short outings. If Cabrera, 25, can't turn things around, he'll be a rare failed project for pitching coach Leo Mazzone.
BURNING ISSUE: Can the Orioles stay healthy? Cabrera and 2B Brian Roberts both spent weeks on the D.L., as have RF Jay Gibbons and reserve IF/OFs Chris Gomez and David Newhan. Gibbons, Gomez and Newhan are expected back in the second half. So, too, is RHP Hoyden Penn, who came down with appendicitis right after he was called up last month.--Spencer Fordin
BOSTON RED SOX
KEY PLAYER RHP Josh Beckett is in position to carry the staff down the stretch. At 26, he figures to be better suited than RHP Curt Schilling, 39, to shoulder the load. Beckett seems primed to take his game to the level scouts have been projecting for him for years. It's not hard to imagine Beckett, who is an intense competitor, reaching peak form in the heat of a pennant race. The key will be commanding his off-speed pitches; his 97-mph fastball then would become almost unhittable.
BURNING ISSUE: Manager Terry Francona needs to find trustworthy relievers other than RHPs Jonathan Pepelbon and Mike Timlin, it's unrealistic to expect Papelbon to be as flawless as he was in the first half, and Timlin has had arm problems. The goal is for hard-throwing young RHPs Craig Hansen and Manny Delcarmen to develop consistency.--Ian Browne
