Preview Roundups
June 07, 2016
NY Mets at Pittsburgh 4:05 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Mets both are sitting in second place in their respective National League divisions and looking to move up, though neither team appears to be at the top of its game of late. Both clubs got an unscheduled day off with Monday’s rainout and the Pirates will be looking to win for the second time in their last seven games when they host the Mets in the opener of a doubleheader on Tuesday.
Kansas City at Baltimore 7:05 PM ET
The Baltimore Orioles took advantage of the slumping Kansas City Royals and jumped into sole possession of first place in the American League East with a win in the series opener on Monday. The Royals will try to even the series and snap a five-game slide when they send Yordano Ventura to the mound on Tuesday in the middle contest of the three-game set.
LA Angels at NY Yankees 7:05 PM ET
Carlos Beltran's power stroke has been one of the few factors helping to keep the New York Yankees afloat. Beltran looks to follow up a heroic effort when he leads the host Yankees into the second of four straight games against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday.

Chi. Cubs at Philadelphia 7:05 PM ET

The Chicago Cubs will try to clinch their fifth straight series victory when they take on the host Philadelphia Phillies in the second of a three-game series Tuesday. The Cubs have won 11 of their last 13 games – including a 4-0 mark against the Phillies during that span – to continue their best start since 1907. 

Toronto at Detroit 7:10 PM ET
The Detroit Tigers have won four straight to move one game over .500 and are crushing the ball on offense. The Toronto Blue Jays are capable of putting up plenty of runs as well and will take another stab at matching the Tigers when they visit Comerica Park for the middle contest of their three-game series on Tuesday.
St. Louis at Cincinnati 7:10 PM ET
Mike Leake returns to the city where he spent the first 5 1/2 seasons of his career and will take the mound for the visiting St. Louis Cardinals in Tuesday night's opener of a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds. Leake goes for his fifth win in six starts as the Cardinals look to win their third in a row and move four games above .500 for the first time.
NY Mets at Pittsburgh 7:20 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Mets both are sitting in second place in their respective National League divisions and looking to move up, though neither team appears to be at the top of its game of late. Both clubs got an unscheduled day off with Monday’s rainout and the Pirates will be looking to bounce back from a stretch in which they have lost five of six when they host the Mets in a doubleheader on Tuesday.
Houston at Texas 8:05 PM ET
The Texas Rangers look to maintain their mastery of in-state rival Houston when the American League West foes continue a four-game series in Arlington on Tuesday. Rougned Odor's two-out RBI double in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted the Rangers to a dramatic 6-5 win in Monday's series opener, giving Texas a 7-0 record against the Astros in 2016.
Washington at Chi. White Sox 8:10 PM ET
The Washington Nationals have seen the performance of their pitching staff fluctuate wildly as they prepare to wind up a nine-game road trip with a three-game interleague set against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night. The Nationals allowed six runs in a three-game sweep at Philadelphia before giving up 22 and barely escaping a sweep at Cincinnati.
Miami at Minnesota 8:10 PM ET
The Miami Marlins have won four of their last six despite struggling to find some consistent offense. The sputtering Minnesota Twins have dropped six of their last seven primarily due to their opponent being too comfortable at the plate, but will look to alter their fortunes on Tuesday when they open a three-game interleague series against the visiting Marlins.
Oakland at Milwaukee 8:10 PM ET
Former National League MVP Ryan Braun looks to become the fifth player in team history to reach 1,500 career hits when the Milwaukee Brewers host the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night in the opener of a two-game interleague set. Braun has only one hit in nine at-bats versus the Athletics, but he is batting .337 at home this season.
Tampa Bay at Arizona 9:40 PM ET
Zack Greinke has put his early-season issues behind him and aims to win his fifth consecutive start when the Arizona Diamondbacks host the Tampa Bay Rays in Tuesday's middle contest of a three-game series. The right-hander had a 6.16 ERA through his first five starts but now is in a groove and is looking to win for the seventh time in his past eight decisions.
Cleveland at Seattle 10:10 PM ET
The Cleveland Indians have yet to lose in June and seek their seventh consecutive victory when they visit the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday for the second contest of their four-game series. Cleveland continued its surge with a 3-1 victory over Seattle on Monday and has outscored its opponents 33-11 during the six-game winning streak.
Atlanta at San Diego 10:10 PM ET
The San Diego Padres might be having a porous campaign but they continue to dominate the visiting Atlanta Braves at Petco Park. The Padres notched their 11th consecutive home victory over the Braves when they prevailed 7-2 on Monday to keep Atlanta winless in downtown San Diego since the 2012 season.
Colorado at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
The Colorado Rockies attempt to post three consecutive victories for the first time in three weeks when they visit the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game series. Colorado has not won three in a row since a five-game streak from May 11-17 but is in line to do just that after following a 10-3 triumph at San Diego on Sunday with a 6-1 victory in Monday's opener as Tyler Chatwood allowed one run and one hit over eight innings to improve to 5-0 on the road.
Boston at San Francisco 10:15 PM ET
The red-hot San Francisco Giants had won 18 of 22 contests before being cooled off after a pair of late leads went by the boards in their last two games. The National League West-leading Giants look to avoid their fourth losing skid of at least three contests on Tuesday when they begin an abbreviated two-game interleague series versus the visiting Boston Red Sox.
