At 7-7 and with two weeks remaining before the postseason, the future is what Counter Logic Gaming (CLG) makes of it. The back-to-back reigning and defending champions of the North American League of Legends Championship Series have battled their way back from a sub-optimal start to a respectable middling position in the standings.While the two giants of this splits regular season, Team SoloMid (TSM) and Immortals, have already clinched first-round byes in the playoffs, their shared dominance has allowed CLG to make a run for a possible third-place finish.It feels good to finally start winning, said Counter Logics starting AD carry Trevor Stixxay Hayes. Were actually pretty frustrated because when we played Immortals we felt like we should have 2-0ed them. [But, taking a game off of Immortals] shows were a really good team right now. For all of CLGs faults this split, the teams resolve hasnt wavered.The players were straightforward and open about their main problem: failing to play around the mid lane. At the 2016 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), CLG played around the side lanes to make it into the finals, which was arguably NAs greatest international feat in the games six-year history. Choi Huhi Jae-hyun, the teams starting mid laner, was often dangled over the map as a sacrificial lamb for the opposing team to gnaw at; hed die, allowing his carries to get off the necessary damage, and return to the field looking for where he could next be of use.Lately, Immortals, not sure if theyve been falling off or whats going on, but they dont feel as strong as they used to be, said Stixxay. Id say theyre not very proactive and a lot of the plays they make arent good plays. It only works because they outplay people, so I dont think theyre as dominant as they used to be. For TSM, I think theyre a really good team. Ill say their problems are overcommitting too much on certain sides -- sometimes theyll run across the map and lose resources on the other side -- and thats maybe an advantage we have on them. But I definitely think TSM is going to be the best team, and probably the team well face in the finals.Immortals has the individual skill to break a majority of the teams in the world. CLG, as we saw in Shanghai at MSI, has the teamplay aspect down and a wealth of strategies to do well on the international stage. This current iteration of TSM, however, is a mix of both the monstrous technical skill of Immortals and the sleek teamplay coordination of Counter Logic Gaming. Even as Finals MVP of last split, Stixxay realizes that fighting through the currently undefeated stronghold of Team SoloMid for a three-peat NA LCS title would be a harrowing run.When we went to MSI, we were pretty surprised on how well we did versus all the teams, he said. Last split we were pretty notorious for doing terrible in scrims and always performing well on stage. So at MSI it kinda turned around; wed do really well in scrims, which was surprising to me. The only problem with NA right now is its a top-sided region. There are very weak teams at the bottom, and you have the incredibly strong teams at the top. I think NA is a really, really strong region right now.[CLG], TSM, and Immortals, he answered when asked a bit more about which teams he thought comprised the cream of the crop. I think Team Liquid and Cloud9 are a little bit below us.Stixxay and CLG will attempt to prove they belong in an NA LCS triumvirate this week as the team looks to go over .500 for one of the first times this split. Counter Logic will have a Saturday matinee set versus fellow third-place hopefuls Team Liquid before taking the Rift on Sunday in a must-win matchup against currently last-place team Echo Fox.

BOSTON -- Matt Shoemaker is due for some good fortune.The Angels right-hander is coming off a strong June that saw him run up a 2.14 ERA in six starts, good enough to place him in the running for mention for things like Pitcher of the Month.One problem -- he didnt win a game, as his team suffered through an 8-19 month that sent it spiraling into last place in the American league West.Matt is on an incredible run, manager Mike Scioscia said after his pitchers last outing.Incredible run. No results -- something Shoemaker hopes to turn around when he faces the Red Sox in Sundays series finale at Fenway Park.He can only hope his teammates, who scored 21 runs to even the three-game series on Saturday night, saved some for him on Sunday.Shoemaker will face a former Angel, journeyman right-hander Sean OSullivan, who will come up from Triple-A Pawtucket for the spot start.Its not that frustrating because its a long season and its the game of baseball, Shoemaker, who has allowed four earned runs and struck out 20 in 19 1/3 innings over his last three starts, said after the bullpen failed to hold his win last week -- in his second straight strong start against the Houston Astros.My job is to try to go out and put up zeros as much as I can. For the bullpen, its the same thing. Sometimes things dont go our way.Shoemaker, 7-10 last year after a 16-4 run in 2014, is 3-8 with a 4.12 ERA this season. In June, he was 0-3 as his ERA dropped from 5.85 to 4.12. He joined Pedro Martinez (New York Mets, 2006) as the only pitchers ever to go winless in a month with an ERA under 3.dddddddddddd.00 and with at least 45 strikeouts.He hasnt won since May 27.Shoemaker has been brilliant in two career games, one start, against the Red Sox, going 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA in 10 2/3 innings against Boston.Current Red Sox hitters are a combined 1-for-24 against Shoemaker, with both Xander Bogaerts and Dustin Pedroia coming in at 0-for-4.OSullivan was 1-0 with a 7.94 ERA in three games, two starts, with the Red Sox earlier this season. One of nine starters used by the club in 2016, he comes up on a Triple-A run that saw him go 4-0 with a 2.61 ERA in six starts.He got the nod over right-hander Aaron Wilkerson, the former Independent League pitcher who is 4-1 with a 2.20 ERA with Pawtucket -- as the Red Sox hit the official midway point with their 81st game.That was the recommendation (of the minor league people), manager John Farrell said Friday. Wilkerson, we recognize, has been throwing the ball well there. The recommendation was for Sean to come back up here and pitch on Sunday.OSullivan, out of options, was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on May 16, but he returned to Pawtucket after clearing waivers.Overall at Pawtucket, he is 6-2 with a 2.79 ERA in 11 starts this season.He was 5-2 with the Angels in 2009 and 2010.Now, he has to try to turn around what happened to his team, losers of seven of their last 11, on Saturday night.
