Oakland at Cleveland 12:10 PM ET
The Oakland Athletics have dropped six consecutive series away from home, but they have a chance to earn a split of a four-game set when they wrap up a seven-game road trip Thursday afternoon against the Cleveland Indians. Oakland snapped its four-game losing streak Wednesday with a 3-1 victory - only its eighth road win of the year.
Milwaukee at NY Mets 1:10 PM ET
Eric Thames cooled off after a scintillating first four weeks that saw him bash 11 home runs in April, but the Milwaukee Brewers' left fielder is starting to emerge from his power slump. Thames and the visiting Brewers will try to salvage a four-game split against the New York Mets on Thursday afternoon in the series finale.
LA Dodgers at St. Louis 1:45 PM ET
The St. Louis Cardinals have found victories hard to come by during a 13-game stretch against National League West foes but look to complete the span with consecutive wins. The Cardinals host the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday for the finale of their four-game set after posting a 2-1 victory that represents only their fourth win in 12 games against the Dodgers, San Francisco and Colorado.
Colorado at Seattle 3:40 PM ET
The Seattle Mariners regularly are notching victories against Colorado and look to complete a four-game sweep of the home-and-home series when they host the Rockies on Thursday afternoon. Seattle has scored 21 runs while winning three straight against Colorado and seeks its season-high fifth consecutive victory in the finale.
Boston at Baltimore 7:05 PM ET
The Boston Red Sox breezed past the Baltimore Orioles into second place in the American League East on the strength of eight wins in the last 10 games. The Red Sox look to continue their success at the expense of the Orioles on Thursday when the contentious rivals begin a four-game series at Camden Yards.
NY Yankees at Toronto 7:07 PM ET
The Toronto Blue Jays hope their success in May extends into the new month on Thursday when they open a four-game series against the American League East-leading New York Yankees at Rogers Centre. Toronto's loud bats have aided in the club winning eight of its last nine contests, with nine homers powering the Blue Jays to a three-game sweep of Cincinnati.
Arizona at Miami 7:10 PM ET
The Miami Marlins have been flexing their offensive muscle by erupting for 65 runs in their past 10 contests, including 40 to win five of the first six tilts of their 10-game homestand. The Marlins look to keep the heat on Thursday as they host the opener of a four-game set against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Minnesota at LA Angels 10:07 PM ET
Albert Pujols continues his quest for his 600th career home run when the Los Angeles Angels begin their four-game series against the visiting Minnesota Twins on Thursday. Pujols was kept in the park in the Angels' 2-1 triumph over Atlanta on Wednesday after reaching 599 homers by going deep in each of his previous two games.
