World Series Game 5.5 "Starters"

Ryan Madson will take the ball for the Phillies in the top half of the 7th, according to mlb.com. Grant Balfour was the Rays pitcher when the game was suspended, and is due up fourth against Madson. Balfour may not complete the 6th, and may not throw a pitch. The pitcher's spot is due up first for the Phillies, so a move could happen right away.

From the mlb.com article:

The bottom of the sixth inning could feature a series of moves, starting with Manuel's potential choice of left-handed hitters Geoff Jenkins, Greg Dobbs or Matt Stairs to pinch-hit. Rays manager Joe Maddon could go to lefty David Price, forcing Manuel to send up a right-handed hitter.
