Cincinnati Reds at Pittsburgh Pirates — 6:40 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®, Cincinnati Reds – MLB.TV, Pittsburgh Pirates – MLB.TV

The Cincinnati Reds visit the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday with both NL Central clubs looking to climb back into the picture, Cincinnati sitting 12.5 games back in the division at 37-42 and Pittsburgh closer at 9.5 back with a 41-40 mark. The Reds lean on shortstop Elly De La Cruz, who pairs a .276 average with a .498 slugging percentage at the top of their lineup. Pittsburgh answers with third baseman Nick Gonzales, whose .297 average and .344 on-base percentage make him one of the steadier bats in the home order. With two more meetings to follow over the weekend, this opening game sets the tone for how each side stacks up.

Houston Astros at Detroit Tigers — 6:40 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®, Detroit Tigers – MLB.TV, Houston Astros – MLB.TV

The Houston Astros visit the Detroit Tigers on Friday with very different stakes on each side, as Houston sits 1.5 games back in the AL West at 40-43 while Detroit carries a 34-47 record that leaves it 8 games back in the AL Central. Yordan Alvarez anchors the Houston lineup, hitting .318 with a .430 on-base percentage and 25 home runs while driving in 56 runs from the designated hitter spot. Detroit answers with left fielder Riley Greene, who is batting .292 with a .386 OBP and has been the steadiest bat in a young Tigers order. This is the first of three meetings between the two clubs at Comerica Park this weekend, and the contrast between a contender and a rebuild sets the early tone.

Washington Nationals at Baltimore Orioles — 7:05 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®, Baltimore Orioles – MLB.TV, Washington Nationals – MLB.TV

The Washington Nationals visit the Baltimore Orioles sitting at 41-41 and 8.5 games back in the NL East, while Baltimore enters at 38-44 and 11 games back in the AL East, making this an early test of which club can climb back into its race. CJ Abrams anchors the Washington lineup, hitting .286 with a .369 on-base percentage, a .528 slugging mark and 17 home runs while driving in 57 runs from shortstop. Baltimore counters with first baseman Pete Alonso, who has 18 home runs and 55 RBIs to go with a .253 average. With both offenses capable of swinging a game in one inning, this MLB® meeting between the Nationals and Orioles should stay tight.

Texas Rangers at Toronto Blue Jays — 7:07 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®, Texas Rangers – MLB.TV, Toronto Blue Jays – MLB.TV

The Texas Rangers visit the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday with both clubs sitting at 39-42, though the stakes differ by division. Texas trails in the AL West by just 1.5 games, while Toronto looks up at the AL East from 9.5 back. Josh Jung anchors the Rangers lineup with a .296 average and a .355 on-base percentage, giving Texas a steady bat at the top of the order. For the Blue Jays, Kazuma Okamoto brings the power, with 18 home runs and 51 RBI from the corner. With two more meetings to follow this weekend, this opening game sets the tone between two teams hovering near even and trying to climb.

Seattle Mariners at Cleveland Guardians — 7:10 PM ET — MLB Network®, Cleveland Guardians – MLB.TV, Seattle Mariners – MLB.TV, MLB Extra Innings®

The Seattle Mariners visit the Cleveland Guardians on Friday with both clubs hovering near an even record and chasing ground in their respective American League divisions. Seattle arrives at 41-41 while Cleveland sits a step ahead at 42-39, which makes every game in this weekend set worth watching. Randy Arozarena anchors the Mariners lineup with a .284 average and a .371 on-base percentage, giving Seattle a steady bat near the top. Cleveland counters with shortstop Brayan Rocchio, who carries a .269 average and a .344 OBP into the matchup. The two teams meet again Saturday and Sunday, so Friday sets the tone for the full slate.

New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox — 7:10 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®, Boston Red Sox – MLB.TV, New York Yankees – MLB.TV

The New York Yankees arrive at Fenway Park sitting atop the AL East at 48-32, while the Boston Red Sox open this marquee rivalry weekend 14.5 games back in the division at 33-46. New York leans on Ben Rice, whose .281 average comes with serious thump in a .584 slugging mark, 22 home runs and 53 RBI from first base. Boston answers with Willson Contreras, who has 16 home runs and 46 RBI of his own while hitting .276. The Red Sox carry a 3.81 team ERA into a series that runs all weekend, and stopping the league-leading Yankees lineup starts here.

Philadelphia Phillies at New York Mets — 7:10 PM ET — CBS, MLB Extra Innings®, New York Mets – MLB.TV, Philadelphia Phillies – MLB.TV

The Philadelphia Phillies arrive at Citi Field sitting 45-36 and four games back in the NL East, while the New York Mets open this weekend at 34-47 and looking to climb out of the division basement. Philadelphia leans on a deep lineup that includes Brandon Marsh, whose .324 average and .518 slugging mark him as one of the hottest bats in the order. New York counters with Juan Soto, the left fielder posting a .399 on-base mark with 17 home runs and a .567 slugging clip that anchors the Mets order. With the two clubs set to meet three times before the weekend ends, this opening game carries real weight for a Phillies team chasing the East.

Arizona Diamondbacks at Tampa Bay Rays — 7:10 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®, Arizona Diamondbacks – MLB.TV, Tampa Bay Rays – MLB.TV

The Arizona Diamondbacks visit the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday with two clubs heading in different directions, as Arizona sits 10.5 games back in the NL West and Tampa Bay stays within two games of the top of the AL East. Corbin Carroll anchors the Diamondbacks lineup with a .279 average and a .537 slugging mark from right field, giving Arizona a needed spark at the top. The Rays counter with third baseman Junior Caminero, whose 19 home runs and .285 average make him the most dangerous bat in this matchup. Tampa Bay has the better run-prevention profile so far, and that edge looms large as these two square off at Tropicana Field.

Kansas City Royals at Chicago White Sox — 7:40 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®, Chicago White Sox – MLB.TV, Kansas City Royals – MLB.TV

The Kansas City Royals visit the Chicago White Sox on Friday with the two clubs sitting at opposite ends of the AL Central, as the White Sox lead the division at 41-38 while the Royals arrive 8.5 games back in the division at 34-48. Chicago has leaned on power all season, piling up 110 home runs as a team, and Colson Montgomery anchors that group with 20 long balls and 46 RBI from shortstop. Kansas City answers with Jac Caglianone, who has 14 homers and a .268 average out of right field. The Royals counter Chicago’s slugging with steadier contact, hitting .246 as a team against the White Sox mark of .237. These two meet twice more over the weekend, so Friday sets the tone for a stretch that matters to Chicago’s hold on first place.

Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee Brewers — 7:45 PM ET — Apple TV, Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV

The Milwaukee Brewers sit atop the NL Central at 49-29 and welcome the Chicago Cubs, who arrive at 44-37 and 6.5 games back in the division. William Contreras anchors the Brewers behind the plate with a .302 average and a .365 on-base percentage, the kind of steady production that keeps Milwaukee out front. Chicago counters with Pete Crow-Armstrong, whose 17 home runs and .521 slugging make him the most dangerous bat in this matchup. With two more meetings to follow, the Cubs need ground in a hurry against a Milwaukee club playing winning baseball.

Colorado Rockies at Minnesota Twins — 8:10 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®, Colorado Rockies – MLB.TV, Minnesota Twins – MLB.TV

The Minnesota Twins open this MLB® weekend at Target Field sitting 4.5 games back in the AL Central, still close enough to keep every home game meaningful. The visiting Colorado Rockies arrive at 32-49 and 20 games adrift in the NL West, leaning on a lineup that has produced an even team average of .254. Minnesota center fielder Byron Buxton supplies the headline bat, pairing 25 home runs with a .585 slugging mark that ranks among the loudest in the building. Colorado catcher Hunter Goodman answers with 21 homers of his own, giving the early innings a clear power-versus-power look. The clubs meet twice more across the weekend.

Miami Marlins at St. Louis Cardinals — 8:15 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®, Miami Marlins – MLB.TV, St. Louis Cardinals – MLB.TV

The St. Louis Cardinals host the Miami Marlins at Busch Stadium with both clubs sitting seven games back in their respective divisions, the Cardinals in the NL Central and the Marlins in the NL East. St. Louis enters at 42-36 and Miami at 42-39, so the standings gap is slim even if the postseason math leans toward the home side. Cardinals right fielder Jordan Walker brings the most pop in the building, slugging .521 with 18 home runs and 58 RBIs on the year. Marlins shortstop Otto Lopez answers with a team-leading .340 average, the kind of bat-to-ball steadiness that can quiet a power lineup. The two teams meet again this weekend, raising the stakes on every at-bat.

Athletics at LA Angels — 9:38 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®, Athletics – MLB.TV, Los Angeles Angels – MLB.TV

The Athletics arrive at Angel Stadium sitting 1.5 games back in the AL West at 39-42, close enough to keep every weekend game meaningful against a Los Angeles Angels club that has slipped to 34-48. First baseman Nick Kurtz anchors the visiting lineup with a .278 average and a .426 on-base percentage, and his 62 RBIs give the Athletics a steady run producer in the middle of the order. The Angels counter with Nolan Schanuel, whose .262 average and .332 on-base mark make him a reliable table-setter at first base. The two sides meet again Saturday and Sunday, so the opening result carries weight in a division race the Athletics are still chasing.

LA Dodgers at San Diego Padres — 9:45 PM ET — Apple TV, Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV

The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive at Petco Park sitting atop the NL West at 52-29, nine games clear of the San Diego Padres in the division as this marquee rivalry reopens. Los Angeles brings the deeper lineup, hitting .262 as a team with 109 home runs and a .782 OPS. Shohei Ohtani anchors that group from the designated hitter spot, batting .295 with a .414 on-base percentage, a .549 slugging mark and 17 home runs. San Diego, at 42-37, needs to slow him to keep pace in a series that runs all weekend. These clubs meet again Saturday and Sunday.

Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants — 10:15 PM ET — MLB Network®, MLB Extra Innings®, Atlanta Braves – MLB.TV, San Francisco Giants – MLB.TV

The Atlanta Braves arrive at Oracle Park sitting atop the NL East at 48-31, while the San Francisco Giants open this three-game set buried in the NL West at 33-47, a full 18.5 games back in the division. Matt Olson anchors the Atlanta lineup with 20 home runs and 52 RBI, giving the Braves the kind of middle-of-the-order presence the Giants have struggled to answer all season. San Francisco leans on Jung Hoo Lee, whose .332 average and .365 on-base percentage make him the most consistent bat in the home order. The two clubs meet twice more this weekend, but the opening night gap in the standings frames everything.

Saturday, June 27

New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox — 1:10 PM ET — ABC, ESPN Deportes

The Boston Red Sox manage just a .697 team OPS and 68 home runs as a club, numbers that sit well behind the 120 the New York Yankees have already launched this season. That power gap frames the Saturday meeting between these AL East rivals, with New York at 48-32 and Boston at 33-46. Cody Bellinger gives the Yankees another left-handed bat to track, carrying a .267 average, 11 home runs and 49 RBI across 79 games. With Aaron Judge on the 10-day IL with a right ribs fracture, Bellinger and the rest of the order keep the pressure on a Red Sox staff posting a 3.81 ERA.

Houston Astros at Detroit Tigers — 1:10 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

Pitching frames the Houston Astros and Detroit Tigers matchup on Saturday, with Houston carrying a team ERA of 4.72 against a Detroit staff that has been sharper at 3.80. At the plate the Tigers lean on catcher Dillon Dingler, who has 19 home runs and 57 RBI with a .543 slugging percentage that gives the Detroit order real thump. Houston counters with first baseman Christian Walker and his 18 home runs and 52 RBI at .234. With the Astros chasing in the AL West and the Tigers trying to steady an AL Central season gone sideways, the second game of the weekend gives both lineups room to swing.

Texas Rangers at Toronto Blue Jays — 3:07 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

Saturday brings the Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays back together, two teams separated by nothing in the standings at 39-42 apiece. The power numbers run close as well, with Texas holding 86 home runs to Toronto’s 82, and the Rangers carrying a slightly sharper team ERA at 3.98 against the Blue Jays’ 4.13. Jake Burger supplies much of the Texas thump, having driven in 48 runs with 14 long balls from first base. Toronto leans on Ernie Clement, whose .294 average and .438 slugging mark give the lineup a reliable contact bat. One more game waits on Sunday after this one.

Cincinnati Reds at Pittsburgh Pirates — 4:05 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

Saturday brings the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds back together at PNC Park, and the contrast at the plate stands out between two NL Central sides chasing better days. Pittsburgh has scored 409 runs while hitting .257 as a team, well ahead of Cincinnati’s .226 mark and 331 runs across a similar number of games. Second baseman Brandon Lowe gives the Pirates real thump with 19 home runs and 51 RBI, the most power in either lineup. The Reds, who sit at 37-42 and trail Pittsburgh in the division, need their bats to wake up after a quiet first meeting.

Philadelphia Phillies at New York Mets — 4:10 PM ET — MLB Network®, MLB Extra Innings®

A day after their first meeting, the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets square off again, with Philadelphia trying to protect ground in a tight NL East race. Kyle Schwarber gives the Phillies a power threat few teams can match, having already launched 29 home runs to go with 52 RBI from the designated hitter spot. The Mets, meanwhile, count on Bo Bichette to drive in runs, the shortstop sitting at 45 RBI with 10 home runs on the year. New York will be without second baseman Marcus Semien, who lands on the 10-day IL with a left hip strain. Each side enters with similar pitching numbers, the Phillies at a 4.14 team ERA and the Mets close behind at 4.17.

Kansas City Royals at Chicago White Sox — 4:10 PM ET — MLB Network®, MLB Extra Innings®, MLB Network® Alt.-1

The Chicago White Sox host the Kansas City Royals again on Saturday, a day after the division-leading White Sox put their 41-38 record up against a Royals team trying to climb out of a 34-48 hole. Pitching has been Chicago’s quiet edge, with a 4.33 team ERA that tops Kansas City’s 4.66, and the lineup gets contact production from Chase Meidroth, who is hitting .266 with a .331 on-base percentage at second base. Carter Jensen has carried much of the Royals offense, driving in 42 runs with 11 home runs as a catcher. With both teams set to square off once more on Sunday, every at-bat in this Royals and White Sox matchup carries weight in the AL Central picture.

Arizona Diamondbacks at Tampa Bay Rays — 6:10 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

The Tampa Bay Rays welcome back the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday in a meeting that pits two contrasting offenses against each other. Tampa Bay carries a .258 team average and a .724 OPS into the night while Arizona checks in at .239 with a .696 OPS, a gap that helps explain why the Rays hold a tighter grip on their AL East race. Yandy Diaz fuels the Tampa Bay attack as the designated hitter, leading the lineup with a .331 average and a .412 on-base mark. Ketel Marte gives Arizona a steady middle-of-the-order presence at second base with 13 home runs and 47 RBI, and the Diamondbacks lean on him to keep pace against a Rays club playing for position near the front of its division.

Washington Nationals at Baltimore Orioles — 7:05 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

The Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles meet again at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, with Washington carrying the slightly better mark at 41-41 and Baltimore looking to gain ground from 38-44. The two lineups stack up closely at the plate, as the Nationals hit .247 as a team with 109 home runs and a .744 OPS while the Orioles sit at .241 with 98 home runs and a .722 OPS. James Wood gives Washington a power threat in right field, leading the club with 20 home runs to go with 49 RBIs and a .260 average. Baltimore continues to manage without catcher Adley Rutschman, who is on the 7-day IL with a concussion. Expect another competitive afternoon between two teams chasing momentum in their divisions.

Colorado Rockies at Minnesota Twins — 7:10 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

A second look at this matchup finds the Colorado Rockies trying to steady a pitching staff that carries a 5.48 ERA into Minnesota, a number that has defined much of their 32-49 season in the NL West. The Minnesota Twins counter from a steadier spot at 38-44, just 4.5 back in the AL Central with a 4.82 team ERA of their own. At the plate, Rockies right fielder Troy Johnston brings the sharper bat with a .314 average and a .378 on-base percentage that keeps innings alive. First baseman TJ Rumfield adds the run production, driving in 43 with a .284 average that has anchored the middle of Colorado’s order.

Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee Brewers — 7:10 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

Chicago looks to chip into a 6.5-game deficit in the NL Central as the Cubs visit a Milwaukee Brewers team that leads the division at 49-29. Dansby Swanson brings 46 RBI and 11 home runs to the middle of the Chicago Cubs order, run production the visitors will lean on against a confident home side. Jake Bauers has been a quiet force for Milwaukee with 14 homers and 48 RBI from first base, matching Swanson’s pop almost run for run. These NL Central rivals have already shared the field once this weekend and have one more after this, and every game carries weight for a Cubs club trying to climb.

Seattle Mariners at Cleveland Guardians — 7:10 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

Power and patience define the second meeting between the Seattle Mariners and Cleveland Guardians on Saturday. Seattle has launched 100 home runs as a team this season against Cleveland’s 75, and Luke Raley sits among the Mariners leaders with 14 long balls and 35 RBI. The Guardians lean on a disciplined approach at the plate, drawing 309 walks to Seattle’s 274. With Cleveland holding a narrow edge in the standings at 42-39 over the visiting Mariners at 41-41, the middle game carries real weight in the American League picture. Both lineups have one more chance Sunday to swing the weekend their way.

Miami Marlins at St. Louis Cardinals — 7:15 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

A pair of teams chasing ground in the standings square off again as the Miami Marlins visit the St. Louis Cardinals, with St. Louis holding a 42-36 mark and Miami close behind at 42-39. Both sit seven games back in their divisions, which keeps the urgency high for a club trying to stay relevant past the All-Star break. Otto Lopez has been the engine for Miami, posting a .374 on-base percentage and a .483 slugging mark to go with his .340 average from the shortstop spot. For St. Louis, Jordan Walker has supplied the thump from right field, his 18 long balls anchoring the run production. Expect a contrast in styles between Lopez’s contact approach and Walker’s power.

LA Dodgers at San Diego Padres — 8:40 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®, MLB Network®

The San Diego Padres sit 42-37 and trail the Los Angeles Dodgers by nine games in the NL West, and the bats tell much of the story. The Padres are hitting .220 as a team with a .659 OPS, well shy of the Dodgers’ .438 slugging and 109 home runs. Manny Machado carries San Diego’s power at third base with 14 home runs and 43 RBI, while Fernando Tatis Jr. provides the higher average at .283 from right field. Los Angeles counters with Andy Pages, whose 58 RBI and 15 home runs from center field give the visitors another middle-of-the-order threat. The rivals have one more meeting Sunday.

Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants — 9:05 PM ET — MLB Network®, MLB Extra Innings®,

San Francisco continues its homestand against an Atlanta Braves team that has used the long ball to stay in front of the NL East. The San Francisco Giants counter with their own power source in Casey Schmitt, who has cleared the fences 16 times while hitting .294 from left field. Michael Harris II keeps the Braves dangerous from center, slashing .306 with a .513 slugging mark that pairs average and pop. Atlanta will be without Ronald Acuna Jr., sidelined by a left hamstring strain, which puts more of the offensive load on Harris and Matt Olson. With one more meeting still ahead, every at-bat carries weight for a Giants club trying to climb out of the division basement.

Athletics at LA Angels — 9:38 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

A day after their first look at each other, the Athletics and the Los Angeles Angels return to Angel Stadium with the visitors holding the better record at 39-42 to the home side’s 34-48. Power is the storyline here, with Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers bringing 19 home runs and 42 RBIs into the matchup, matching the team-leading home run total of teammate Nick Kurtz. Los Angeles leans on right fielder Jo Adell, who has driven in 41 runs and added 10 homers to pace the Angels lineup. With the Athletics trailing in the AL West by 1.5 games, every at-bat from their middle of the order matters in a chase that runs through this weekend.

Sunday, June 28

Washington Nationals at Baltimore Orioles — 1:35 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

The Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals wrap up their weekend set with the Orioles at 38-44 and the Nationals at 41-41, two clubs trying to build something positive against a familiar regional opponent. Taylor Ward has been a steady presence in the Baltimore outfield, posting a .389 on-base percentage and a .257 average from left field. For Washington, shortstop CJ Abrams brings a .528 slugging mark and 17 home runs that give the visitors length in their order. After splitting time all weekend, the Nationals and Orioles close things out with both sides eager for a strong result before turning the page.

Cincinnati Reds at Pittsburgh Pirates — 1:35 PM ET — MLB Network®, MLB Extra Innings®

The Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates meet again on Sunday for a third straight day, an NL Central matchup where Pittsburgh holds the better record at 41-40 to Cincinnati’s 37-42. Left fielder Bryan Reynolds anchors the Pirates with 52 RBI and a .291 average, while rookie first baseman Sal Stewart has carried Cincinnati’s middle order with 14 home runs and 55 RBI. Pittsburgh plays this one without center fielder Oneil Cruz, who sits on the 10-day IL with a left hand fracture. With the weekend on the line, both teams have plenty left to settle in their final game together.

Texas Rangers at Toronto Blue Jays — 1:37 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

The Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays meet for the third time this weekend on Sunday, a rivalry renewed between two AL clubs each carrying a 39-42 record. Toronto’s offense edges ahead in batting average at .249 to Texas at .243, yet the Rangers counter with a stronger on-base mark of .319 against the Blue Jays’ .311. Kazuma Okamoto remains the name to track for Toronto after pacing the lineup with 51 RBI, while the Rangers will miss Evan Carter, who sits on the 10-day IL with a right oblique strain. Tight margins like these have defined the weekend, and Sunday offers one last look before the teams part ways.

Arizona Diamondbacks at Tampa Bay Rays — 1:40 PM ET — MLB Network®, MLB Network® Alt.-1, MLB Extra Innings®

The Arizona Diamondbacks and Tampa Bay Rays meet again on Sunday after trading blows earlier in the weekend, with Tampa Bay sitting two games out in the AL East and Arizona looking to play spoiler from 10.5 back in the NL West. Pitching has been the Rays calling card, as their 3.87 team ERA sits well ahead of the 4.29 mark Arizona brings to the matchup. Jonathan Aranda has quietly become a run producer for Tampa Bay, pacing the club with 54 RBI to go with 12 home runs and a .287 average from first base. Arizona still has the firepower to swing an afternoon in a hurry, which keeps this Diamondbacks and Rays matchup live until the final out.

Houston Astros at Detroit Tigers — 1:40 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

The Houston Astros and Detroit Tigers meet for a third time this weekend on Sunday, with Houston still pressing its AL West chase at 40-43 and Detroit looking to bank a win at 34-47. Third baseman Isaac Paredes adds another bat to the Astros attack, hitting .245 with 10 home runs and 41 RBI on the season. Detroit’s Colt Keith brings youth to the Tigers infield from third base at .251 with 4 home runs. After two games already in the books between these clubs, the familiarity runs deep heading into the afternoon at Comerica Park.

Philadelphia Phillies at New York Mets — 1:40 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

The Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets wrap up their weekend set with the visitors holding a clear edge in the standings, Philadelphia at 45-36 against a New York club fighting through a 34-47 stretch. Bryce Harper keeps the Phillies dangerous from the middle of the order, the first baseman hitting .269 with 18 home runs and 47 RBI while reaching base at a .373 clip. For the Mets, Mark Vientos has supplied some of the home power with 10 home runs and 33 RBI from first base. Philadelphia has out-homered New York 107 to 92 on the season, a gap that captures how this rivalry has tilted through the first half.

Seattle Mariners at Cleveland Guardians — 1:40 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

The Seattle Mariners and Cleveland Guardians wrap up their weekend gathering on Sunday afternoon with the standings still tight between them. Julio Rodriguez gives Seattle a run producer in the middle of the order, leading the Mariners with 38 RBI to go along with 14 home runs. On the mound, the two staffs are tough to separate, as Seattle owns a 3.71 team ERA and Cleveland answers at 3.79. The Guardians enter at 42-39 with the Mariners close behind at 41-41, so a Sunday result could nudge either side in the American League race. After a full weekend of games, this one settles the score between the two.

The Kansas City Royals and Chicago White Sox wrap up their weekend set on Sunday, with Chicago holding the top spot in the AL Central at 41-38 and Kansas City still searching for traction at 34-48. The Royals are without Bobby Witt Jr., who is day-to-day with a right knee sprain, leaving more of the run production to Carter Jensen and his team-leading 42 RBI. Chicago keeps turning to Colson Montgomery, whose 20 home runs lead a White Sox club that has hit 110 as a team.

Designated hitter Josh Bell leads the home side in run production with 49 RBI, the steady force behind a lineup hitting near even at .245. Colorado, 20 games back in the NL West, looks to TJ Rumfield and his 43 RBI to keep pace, with right fielder Troy Johnston getting on base at a .378 clip ahead of him. The afternoon offers one more chance for the Rockies bats to travel.

Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee Brewers — 2:10 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

Sunday afternoon at American Family Field finds the Chicago Cubs still chasing the Milwaukee Brewers, who hold the top spot in the NL Central at 49-29 to Chicago’s 44-37. Pete Crow-Armstrong remains the engine for the Cubs, pairing a .367 on-base percentage with 17 home runs and 45 RBI from center field. For Milwaukee, William Contreras keeps hitting at a .302 clip, a contact presence that has helped the Brewers build a six-and-a-half-game cushion over their visitors. After two tight games already this weekend, this afternoon affair gives the Cubs a final crack at narrowing the gap.

Miami Marlins at St. Louis Cardinals — 2:15 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

The St. Louis Cardinals and Miami Marlins wrap up their weekend set at Busch Stadium with little separating them in the standings, St. Louis at 42-36 and Miami at 42-39. Each side trails by seven games in its division, so an afternoon win carries real weight for two rosters fighting to keep pace. Jordan Walker remains the Cardinals’ centerpiece, his .342 on-base percentage and 58 RBIs reflecting steady production from the heart of the order. Otto Lopez keeps the Marlins’ lineup turning over, hitting .340 and reaching base at a .374 clip out of the shortstop position. With both bats locked in, the day projects as a tight one in St. Louis.

Athletics at LA Angels — 3:15 PM ET — Universo

The Athletics close out their weekend at Angel Stadium looking to gain ground in the AL West, where they sit 1.5 games back at 39-42 while the Los Angeles Angels work through a 34-48 stretch and a seven-game division deficit. Slugging numbers favor the visitors, as Nick Kurtz carries a .533 slugging percentage to go with 19 home runs, giving the Athletics genuine thump at first base. For the Angels, Nolan Schanuel offers contact and patience at the top of the order while Jo Adell supplies the right-handed pop with 10 long balls. After two games already in the books this weekend, the Athletics want a strong finish to keep their division push alive.

Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants — 4:05 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

The afternoon brings a Sunday meeting between an Atlanta Braves club leading the NL East at 48-31 and a San Francisco Giants team at 33-47 looking to salvage something from the weekend. Matt Chapman supplies the steadying veteran bat for San Francisco, leading the club with 42 RBI while manning third base. Atlanta answers with Matt Olson, whose 20 home runs headline an order that has done its damage in bunches. The Giants will not have Harrison Bader, who remains on the 10-day injured list with left foot plantar fasciitis, thinning their outfield depth. Both lineups have shown enough across the weekend to make the closing day worth watching.

LA Dodgers at San Diego Padres — 4:10 PM ET — MLB Extra Innings®

The San Diego Padres look to chip away at a nine-game NL West deficit when they host the Los Angeles Dodgers, who hold the division lead at 52-29. Fernando Tatis Jr. gives San Diego a spark from right field, hitting .283 with 19 stolen bases and a knack for changing games on the bases. Los Angeles answers with catcher Dalton Rushing, who brings a .468 slugging mark and eight home runs to a lineup that already posts a .345 on-base percentage as a team. The Dodgers’ .782 OPS against the Padres’ .659 frames the offensive gap these clubs carry into the weekend’s final game.

New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox — 7:20 PM ET — NBC

The rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees gets its final look of the weekend with the standings firmly tilted, New York leading the AL East at 48-32 and Boston trailing at 33-46. Ceddanne Rafaela has been one of the steadier Red Sox bats, hitting .285 with a .448 slugging mark from center field. New York counters with the deepest power in the matchup, a lineup that has hit 120 home runs against Boston’s 68. Even with a 14.5-game gulf in the division, a Yankees visit to Fenway never lacks edge.
