Preview Roundups
June 13, 2018
NY Mets at Atlanta 12:10 PM ET

The Atlanta Braves have held at least a share of first place in the National League East for all but two days since May 2, and they’ll try to stay there when they host the New York Mets for the finale of a two-game series Wednesday. The Braves began a 14-game stretch against teams with losing records with Tuesday’s 8-2 rout of the Mets, improving to 8-3 against New York this season. 

Toronto at Tampa Bay 1:10 PM ET
After ending a streak of three consecutive series losses, the Tampa Bay Rays can complete a three-game sweep of the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday afternoon. With its starting rotation ravaged by injuries, Tampa Bay used six relievers to stymie the Blue Jays in Tuesday's 4-1 victory and will hope to utilize the same formula in the series finale.
Chi. Cubs at Milwaukee 2:10 PM ET

The Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers have leap-frogged one another in the National League Central standings after each of the first two contests of their three-game series. The visiting Cubs hope to swap places again after Wednesday’s series finale. 

Boston at Baltimore 3:05 PM ET
The Boston Red Sox will have a decided advantage on the mound in their quest to finish off a three-game sweep at the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. Star lefty Chris Sale, who limited the Orioles to two hits while striking out eight in five innings earlier in the year, goes for the Red Sox as they aim for an eighth consecutive victory at Camden Yards.
Pittsburgh at Arizona 3:40 PM ET
The Arizona Diamondbacks hope to continue their torrid offensive pace as they vie for their sixth straight win when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday for the finale of their three-game series. Arizona outslugged Pittsburgh 13-8 on Tuesday for its season-high fifth consecutive victory as it improved to 2-0 on its seven-game homestand.
LA Angels at Seattle 4:10 PM ET
The Seattle Mariners are a season-high 19 games above .500, and their next quest is completing a three-game sweep of the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday afternoon. Seattle belted seven homers while winning the first two games of the series and has prevailed in 10 of its last 12 contests.
Washington at NY Yankees 7:05 PM ET
The New York Yankees have relieved heavily on homers of late, with 20 of their last 22 runs scored courtesy of the long ball. After Didi Gregorius recorded his third multi-homer performance of the season in the opener, the Yankees (43-19) vie for a sweep of the abbreviated two-game interleague series versus the visiting Washington Nationals (36-28) on Wednesday.
Colorado at Philadelphia 7:05 PM ET
Scott Kingery has been shuffled around the field this season as the Philadelphia Phillies try to find a home for the promising prospect. The 24-year-old looks to follow up a season high-tying four-RBI performance on Wednesday as the Phillies (34-30) bid for a series victory versus the reeling Colorado Rockies (32-34), who have dropped a season-worst five straight and nine of 11.
San Francisco at Miami 7:10 PM ET
The Miami Marlins seek just their second three-game winning streak of the year when they continue a four-game series against the visiting San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. The Marlins have notched a pair of two-run wins to begin the set, riding a combined three-hitter to a 3-1 victory Tuesday night.
Minnesota at Detroit 7:10 PM ET
The Detroit Tigers went nearly the entire month of May without Miguel Cabrera earlier and now will be without their slugging first baseman for the remainder of the season. Cabrera ruptured a tendon in his biceps in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to Minnesota and will undergo season-ending surgery, leaving Detroit scrambling as it resumes the three-game set versus the Twins on Wednesday.
Cleveland at Chi. White Sox 8:10 PM ET
The Chicago White Sox put their home-run drought in the rear-view mirror and look to string together back-to-back wins when they host the American League Central-leading Cleveland Indians on Wednesday. The White Sox had gone six games without a homer before Yoan Moncada and Yolmer Sanchez went deep to lead off the first inning during Tuesday’s 5-1 victory.
Cincinnati at Kansas City 8:15 PM ET
Cincinnati first baseman Joey Votto isn’t a fan of the designated hitter, but he could fill the role again Wednesday when the Reds face the host Kansas City Royals in the finale of a two-game interleague series. Batting third and serving as the designated hitter Tuesday, Votto delivered a bases-loaded triple in the 10th inning to help the Reds secure a 5-1 victory.
San Diego at St. Louis 8:15 PM ET
The San Diego Padres surprisingly are just five games under .500 as they try to win their three-game series against the host St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. The Padres posted a 4-2 victory in Tuesday's middle contest and have won 10 of their last 14 contests.
Houston at Oakland 10:05 PM ET
The red-hot Houston Astros attempt to remain perfect on their 10-game road trip when they visit the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday for the middle contest of their three-game series. Houston has won a season high-tying six straight contests, including the first five of its trek following Tuesday's 6-3 triumph.
Texas at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ recent power surge is being led by Joc Pederson, who has followed a homerless month of May with seven blasts in his last eight games. The 26-year-old looks to continue his hot streak Wednesday, when the Dodgers conclude their brief two-game interleague series against the visiting Texas Rangers.
