Preview Roundups
May 08, 2017
Washington at Baltimore 7:05 PM ET
The Baltimore Orioles have dominated the Beltway Series in recent seasons but will have their hands full when the Washington Nationals visit on Monday for the first of four games this week in a home-and-home set. The Nationals have not won a season series over the Orioles since going 4-2 in the 2007 edition of the Beltway Series.
Cleveland at Toronto 7:07 PM ET
The host Toronto Blue Jays and Cleveland Indians will meet for the first time since the American League Championship Series last October when they open a three-game set Monday night at the Rogers Centre. The Indians won the ALCS in five games en route to a World Series loss to the Chicago Cubs and they have opened 2017 in significantly better fashion than the Blue Jays.
Kansas City at Tampa Bay 7:10 PM ET
The Kansas City Royals look to get their struggling offense going when they visit the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday for the opener of their four-game series. The Royals are last in the majors with 82 runs through 30 games after a 1-0 setback against American League Central-rival Cleveland on Sunday in which they managed just one hit and scored fewer than three runs for the 15th time this season.
NY Yankees at Cincinnati 7:10 PM ET
The Cincinnati Reds have put their disappointing 2016 season in the rear-view mirror and look to continue their surge when they host the red-hot New York Yankees on Monday for the opener of their two-game interleague series. The Reds have won five straight contests and seven of eight after sweeping a three-game set from San Francisco over the weekend.
San Francisco at NY Mets 7:10 PM ET
The New York Mets watched their previously-surging offense grind to a halt on Sunday after learning that a key member of the pitching staff was being suspended by the team. The Mets will try to put Matt Harvey's drama behind them and get the bats working again when they host the San Francisco Giants in the opener of a three-game series.
St. Louis at Miami 7:10 PM ET
The St. Louis Cardinals could be a tired squad when they visit the Miami Marlins for the opener of a three-game series on Monday. The Cardinals finished up a three-game sweep at Atlanta on Sunday but needed 14 innings and eight pitchers to take the finale.
Chi. Cubs at Colorado 8:40 PM ET
The Colorado Rockies attempt to make it three wins in a row when they continue their 10-game homestand with the first of three contests against the Chicago Cubs on Monday. Colorado has captured four of its last five overall games after taking two of three from visiting Arizona over the weekend.
LA Angels at Oakland 10:05 PM ET
The Los Angeles Angels hope to have Mike Trout back in the lineup Monday as they visit the Oakland Athletics for the opener of the third series between the American League West rivals already this season. Trout is in the midst of a 17-game hitting streak but has missed the Angels' last two contests with tightness in his left hamstring.
Pittsburgh at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
After a rough 3-7 stretch during the middle of last month, the Los Angeles Dodgers are beginning to play a lot more like the team that has won four straight National League West titles. The Dodgers attempt to secure their eighth victory in 10 contests Monday, when they open a three-game series against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates.
Texas at San Diego 10:10 PM ET
Although the Texas Rangers were able to avoid tying a dubious major-league record Sunday, it did nothing to fix their issues with winning away from home. The American League cellar-dwelling Rangers kick off the final leg of their eight-game road trip Monday, when they visit the San Diego Padres for the first of two games.
