\"\"<\/a>With the non-waiver trade deadline closing in, you can never be sure which team a scheduled starting pitcher may end up taking the field for.<\/p>\n

There are ten games stating before midnight U.K. time this working week and you just might see a player or two making their debut for a new team in one of them.<\/p>\n

If the probable pitching match-ups hold true, Thursday will provide two excellent encounters thanks to Jake Peavy and Justin Verlander facing off in Chicago and A.J. Burnett and Gio Gonzalez doing likewise in Washington.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the U.S. capital is hosting a double-header and, with fingers firmly crossed, the current plan is for Matt Harvey to pitch in the opener for the New York Mets.<\/p>\n
