Division leaders will be hoping to add on to their leads with several aces taking the mound on Friday with many new crucial weekend series starting up.

The Tigers' Justin Verlander will try to tame the Rays, the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw will aim to top the Padres, the Cardinals' Adam Wainwright will look to beat the Pirates and the Phillies' Cliff Lee will try to continue his run of dominance in the NL against Astros.
