Old School Meets New School
The San Diego Padres remain one of the biggest early season surprises in the game. Despite a loaded farm system and some key free agent acquisitions the last couple years, most view the Padres as still being a season or two away. For now, they find themselves in the thick of things as they get set for the final game of a brief two-game series against the NL West leading Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers will host the Padres in the contest, looking to expand their division lead against the upstart...
The Tampa Bay Rays currently sit atop the AL East standings, but the New York Yankees have done an excellent job navigating a plethora of injuries to keep their heads more than a float in the early going. Now these teams will meet in a weekend series down in the Sunshine State. The series wraps up with an afternoon showdown on Sunday. The Rays have home field advantage, but the Yankees do have a massive following in the Tampa area and will be well represented in the stands as always....
The Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs will wrap up a weekend series on Sunday night on ESPN. Both teams head into the series playing some quality baseball, having climbed into the top two spots in the NL Central. The Brew Crew edged out the Cubs for the division crown last season, but for now, the Cubs seem in control early with the best run differential in the NL. Can the Brewers slow a red-hot Chicago team that’s been nearly unbeatable at home? It’ll be an uphill climb for sure....
Both the Cleveland Indians and Oakland Athletics eclipsed 90 wins last season in route to a playoff berth. While the Indians would technically be in line for a Wild Card spot if the season ended today, there are still major areas of concern for both teams as they meet in Oakland six weeks into the regular season. It’s the pivotal middle game of the three game set between the two clubs on Saturday afternoon....
Both the Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Dodgers have playoff aspirations this season, but only one has gotten off to a strong start through the first month with the Nationals lounging below-.500. These two teams will kick off a four-game weekend series in L.A. on Thursday night with the Nationals trying to get back on track with a big win and the Dodgers looking to maintain their solid lead in the NL West....

This is one of the best and most heated rivalries in MLB. Think Yankees vs. Red Sox, only in the senior circuit. And both the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs have risen to the top of the NL Central giving the rivalry more fuel....
The Los Angeles Angels have the best player in the game on their side and they still sit below .500 as we enter the month of May. They aren’t very good, but Mike Trout could do just enough to keep them in contention in a mediocre American League. The Halos are playing their best ball of the season having won four in a row entering their two-game weekend set with the Houston Astros in Monterrey, Mexico....
Bryce Harper has already played his former team five times this year, but it’ll continue to be a story anytime he leads the Philadelphia Phillies against the Washington Nationals in the 2019 campaign. Starting Friday, the Phillies will host the Nationals again in another three game series head-to-head. Philadelphia is off to a better start this year and holds a 3-2 edge in the season series. Can they grow that further in these next three home games or will the Nationals overcome injuries and early season struggles to get a momentum building series victory over the weekend? ...
PThe New York Mets will journey to the Midwest over the weekend to take on the Milwaukee Brewers in a best of three series while both teams battle it out in the two most highly contested divisions in baseball. It’s hard to put too much emphasis on a game—or even a series—in early May, but for teams in the NL East and NL Central, every game and every series is big. Milwaukee needs the series as they’ve been a much better team at home and need to capitalize on that though the Mets, to this point, ...
The Houston Astros currently look like the best team in the American League, but they hit the road for this one, taking on the Minnesota Twins in the third game of the four-game series on Wednesday night. The Twins have had a strong start to the season and are looking like real competitors in the AL Central. Can Minnesota take advantage of home field advantage to grab the win against the Astros? Or will Houston cause trouble for the Twins as the calendar flips to May?...
The World Series hangover has lingered long enough and now it’s time to be concerned about the Boston Red Sox, who continue to struggle both at the plate and on the mound. There have been signs that the Sox are about to turn the corner, like their sweep of the first-place Tampa Bay Rays a week ago. But that was followed by two straight losses to the Tigers, further infuriating fans over the inconsistent start....
The Cleveland Indians have one of the better starting rotations in baseball, and it’s a good thing because the offense is still floundering. And thankfully for the Tribe they are in the mediocre AL Central, which gives them a chance to repeat as division champs if the bats start making contact with the baseball....
The New York Mets are hanging around the top of the NL East without much help from their heralded pair of hurlers, who were supposed to lead the Metropolitans to any success the team enjoyed. So, I guess that’s a good thing, at least for New Yorkers. One of those pitchers will attempt to get dialed in on Saturday when Noah Syndergaard toes the rubber against the Milwaukee Brewers....
Two of the preseason favorites in the National League clash in a three game mid-week series with the finale slated for Thursday afternoon. The Chicago Cubs will host the Los Angeles Dodgers in this showdown with the Cubs hoping to get their pitching back on track against a stacked Dodger lineup. There’s still plenty of baseball to be played this season, but this could be an interesting preview of a postseason series provided the Cubs can continue to bounce back from their cold start to the seaso...
The baseball gods keep testing the New York Yankees who continue to see star players going down like flies here in the first month of the season. The Yankees next stop brings them to Anaheim where they will play the Los Angeles Angels for four games, including the third game on MLB Network on Wednesday night. New York will try to get through that game—and the series—without any more injuries while also trying to keep their head above water....
This is supposed to be a soft part in the Boston Red Sox schedule, but at this point, every game is an important one as they try to avoid getting further and further behind here in April. You can’t win a World Series in April. Boston just doesn’t want to lose one. The Detroit Tigers, meanwhile, have no such dreams of October, but have been playing great baseball as they get ready for a four-game road series in Boston, including an interesting game-three matchup on Wednesday night....
The offseason acquisitions of the Philadelphia Phillies are paying off in the early going. Bryce Harper is doing his thing, which he should for the amount of money he’s making. And the under the radar pickups of J.T. Realmuto and Andrew McCutcheon have rejuvenated the franchise and its fan base....
It’s a good thing the Cleveland Indians are in the AL Central, a division that has a number of clubs going through a rebuild. The Tribe isn’t rebuilding, but they do need to overhaul an offense that has struggled all season. Still, the favorite to win the division is hovering near the top and a breakout offensively will put them in a familiar position....
It’s a rematch of the 2018 NLCS this weekend with the Milwaukee Brewers hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers and both teams are looking like contenders again in 2019. The third game of this four-game weekend series will be broadcast nationally in primetime and could be a pivotal one for the series. Can the Brew Crew take advantage of home field advantage and get some payback or will the Dodgers do as they did in the NLCS and emerge victorious?...
They’ll be plenty of storylines when the Philadelphia Phillies and Colorado Rockies matchup on Thursday to kick off their four-game weekend series. The Rockies are dealing with injuries and offensive failings as their season appears on the brink of disaster already here in mid-April. Meanwhile, the Phillies, who remain one of the favorites in the NL are trying to get their starting pitching in order, a difficult task in the thin air of Denver....
It took a couple weeks before we got our first series between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees and it’s a short two-game set in the Big Apple with the series finale broadcast live on ESPN. These two teams are still projected as the favorites in the AL East even with tepid starts from each and a red-hot Tampa Bay Rays team out of the gate. These two rivals will look for a statement win in to wrap up this brief series on Wednesday night....
