Old School Meets New School
The Monday night matchup between the Cincinnati Reds and Los Angeles Dodgers has plenty of storylines for an early season tilt between non-division foes. The biggest is the return of Yasiel Puig and Matt Kemp to LA. Both players were jettisoned by the Dodgers to clear room in an overcrowded outfield....
Why not us? That’s what the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies are asking after watching the upstart Atlanta Braves take the NL East title last season. Both teams made serious upgrades in hopes of contending for not only the division title, but the NL pennant as well....
A rare off day on Friday will allow these Central Division rivals time to travel south of the border for a brief two-game set in Monterrey, Mexico, concluding with Sunday’s affair on ESPN. The St. Louis Cardinals said enough was enough after missing the playoffs last season and made a huge splash with the acquisition of Paul Goldschmidt....
The New York Mets are hopeful a new lineup, a new closer and better health to the starting rotation is enough to keep them in contention in what is expected to be a wild NL East race. The results have been favorable early in the season, but they were at the start of last season before things unraveled....
The Colorado Rockies took the Dodgers to Game 163 last year to decide the NL West, but they’re one of several 2018 playoff teams to get off to a slow start here in 2019 and will try and get back on track in Saturday’s nationally televised showdown against a divisional foe in the San Francisco Giants. Both teams enter play with issues on offense and some genuine concerns. Which team will overcome their slow start and get the victory in this third game of a four-game weekend set?...
On to their first interleague series of the season, the New York Mets will host the Minnesota Twins in Citi Field looking for better results than in 2018 when they went 8-12 against the AL.

The Houston Astros will welcome the New York Yankees to Texas for the first game of a three-game series on Monday night as both teams are looking to turn their early season misfortune around. Many pinned these two teams as the favorites to win it all in the preseason and they’re likely still two of the teams to beat, but the early returns haven’t been favorable for either. With both teams going head-to-head, something has got to give with Monday being a potential turning point for the game’s vic...
The Colorado Rockies pushed the Los Angeles Dodgers to a Game 163 last season before ending up in the Wild Card game. The Dodgers won their seventh straight division title. The Rockies once again represent the biggest threat to Los Angeles in the division. The two teams will wrap up their first series of the season on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball. And the Rockies will close out their first home series of the year. ...
The Milwaukee Brewers have a tough schedule in the month of April, but have come out of the gate with their best start in franchise history despite some key injuries in their bullpen. On the opposite side of this matchup, the Chicago Cubs have been stymied by the Rangers and then came out flat against the Braves. Can the Cubs get back on track or will the Brew Crew continue to roll on Saturday when these two division rivals matchup on national television?...
The season’s opening series didn’t go as planned for the Washington Nationals who had to go down to the wire on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep at the hands of the New York Mets. Now, the Nationals will have a chance for revenge as the Mets get set to host Washington in another best-of-three, this time in the Big Apple. ...
Wednesday night will be Game 2 of a three game series between the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta Braves at SunTrust Park. After the home opener festivities on Monday, Wednesday represents a return to business of sorts for these two teams. Both the Cubs and Braves figure to be in the race for October and each need to get off to a good start. The Braves had a rough go in Philadelphia and really need a win in this series—and this game....
The Los Angeles Dodgers have been the class of the National League West for the past several years and are projected to win the division once again in 2019. They are dealing with some key injuries to their pitching staff early on so will look to stay afloat until stars like Clayton Kershaw and Rich Hill get back....
The Pittsburgh Pirates are often overlooked in the NL Central discussion, but Pittsburgh was in it for much of 2018 and even added at the deadline. The Bucs ended the season above-.500, but in fourth place in the division. The St. Louis Cardinals were just a spot ahead in the standings. These two teams will meet for the first time Monday in 2019 in the Pirates’ home opener....
After opening the season on the road, the Atlanta Braves return home to SunTrust Park in Cobb County for their home opener on Monday night against a fellow 2018 playoff team in the Chicago Cubs. Both the Braves and Cubs both find themselves in stacked divisions here in 2019 as the two get set to meet for the first game in a three-game weekday series....
The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies spent much of last summer battling for the lead in the AL East. As the season wore on, the Phillies faltered and the Braves soared, easily taking the division title. On Sunday, these two teams will wrap up the first of many series in 2019 with both hoping for a strong start to the season that they can ride in what will be a difficult division to win....
The regular season is here and that means meaningful weekend baseball and plenty of quality lines and spreads to pick. Spring Training lacks predictability with players coming in and out of games and minor leaguers impacting outcomes. Now, the rosters have been trimmed to 25 and things are a bit clearer heading into the 2019 season’s first slate of weekend games. ...
The Los Angeles Dodgers will try again to win their first World Series title since 1988 in 2019 and it all starts with Opening Day against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday afternoon. These are two teams heading in opposite directions. The Dodgers have made back-to-back Fall Classics, but fell to the AL team. They’re well equipped to get there again. The D-Backs, however, traded away Paul Goldschmidt this winter, signaling a reboot if not a rebuild. Can Arizona surprise with a road win or wil...
The Boston Red Sox are ready to kick off their defense of their World Series championship on Thursday night in primetime as they play the Seattle Mariners in the great Northwest. Seattle’s already got a couple regular season games under their belts, but the team is now beyond the Ichiro pomp and circumstances. They won their first two games, but get a real test here as they host the defending World Series champions....
Opening Day is finally upon us and we will see how some of these teams stack up following their offseason moves. One of the more interesting divisions to watch this year will be the NL Central which may be the most balanced in baseball from top-to-bottom....
It’s been a long winter that was drug out as key players remained—and remain—unsigned deep into Spring Training, but the start of the regular season is finally upon us though we still have plenty of Spring Training action to go yet, too....
It was close in 2018, but the Los Angeles Dodgers have owned the National League West for the last six years. Despite the consistent success in division, the Dodgers haven’t won a World Championship during that streak, but has been in the World Series in each of the last two seasons....
The National League Central is deep. The Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers went down to the wire in 2018 while the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates both made pushes and ended the season over-.500. The Cincinnati Reds were the only true weakness and they’ve made a ton of progress over the offseason....
