Perkins is coming off of a dominant performance and is 2-1 with a 3.15 ERA of his last 20 IP. Meche is coming off of a horrible outing and his career ERA against the Twins is 4.62 in 17 games. Ricky Romero (TOR)- Romero is still floating around in a good number of leagues, and is on fire right now. He is 2-0 with a 2.15 ERA over his last three starts with 22 K in 21 IP. He also will be backed by a hot Jays’ offense on Wed 7/01. Kevin Correia (SD)- Is anyone paying attention to the roll that this guy is on right now? The former Giants’ reliever is 2-1 with a 1.74 ERA over his last three starts with 16 K in 20 IP. He takes on Houston on Thurs 7/02 against whom he has a 3.06 ERA in six games.
