With a win on Thursday, the Cleveland Indians have swept the Los Angeles Angels and have now won 27 of their last 28 games. The Tribe are the first team to accomplish that feat since Providence Grays in 1884. They have a chance to match the Gray’s mark of 28-1 on Friday and top it throughout the weekend series against the Seattle Mariners. Cleveland is the hottest team in baseball right, but everyone must lose sometime. When will it end? This series will be contested from Friday, September 22, 2017 through Sunday, September 24, 2017 at Safeco Field in Seattle. For those outside of the local television markets, Friday night’s game will be shown on MLB Network.... 

This four-game showdown between the Chicago Cubs and the Milwaukee Brewers may be the best remaining series of the year, at least when it comes to playoff implications. The NL Central is one of two divisions still undecided. The Brewers have a huge uphill battle, but a sweep puts them in the top-spot and a series win closes the gap, keeping them statistically in the division race into the season’s final week. Of course, the Cubs could also—for all intents and purposes—close out the division this weekend. Even if that’s the case, the Brew Crew remain in play for the Wild Card.... 

A long, dismal campaign is winding down for the San Francisco Giants who are no doubt anxious to put what could still be a 100-loss season behind them. A year after they were a Wild Card team, the series will feature one Wild Card contender: the Colorado Rockies. These NL West rivals have seen their fortunes reversed this season with the Rockies finally getting back to October barring a bad final couple of weeks and the Giants more than ready to ride into the sunset and turn their attention to 2018 and beyond.... 

Perhaps a preview of the AL Wild Card game, the Minnesota Twins will head to the Bronx for a best-of-three against the New York Yankees. Both teams need to play well in the series so this could serve as a nice preview to the Wild Card game. It will also allow both teams to adequately scout the other in preparation for that one-and-done affair, assuming—of course—that the Twins make it. With October on the line, this series carries a lot of wait as the regular season winds down.... 

The rivalry continues in the mid-west. The Chicago Cubs have played better in the second half and have a three-game division lead, but they’ve been unable to close the door. Both the Brewers and the St. Louis Cardinals remain within striking distance of the division lead. A three-game series has the potential to put the Cards neck-and-neck atop the division with the Cubbies. Likewise, a sweep could be all she wrote for St. Louis in 2017. This series will be contested from Friday, September 15, 2017 through Sunday, September 17, 2017 at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Friday's clash is being shown live on MLB Network while the game on Sunday can be seen live on TBS....

The Baltimore Orioles salvaged the finale of a three-game series with the Blue Jays in Toronto on Wednesday night to snap a six-game losing streak, but the team is still two-games under-.500 and 4.5 back of the second AL Wild Card. The O’s will need a big weekend series against the New York Yankees in the Bronx. Baltimore has been terrible on the road all year and are 6-9 against the Yankees this year. It’s a huge up-hill battle of a series for Baltimore, but one they must win to stay in the Wild Card hunt.... 

The Houston Astros suffered their first losing month in August, but have started to turn the corner in September, going 6-4 in the team’s last 10 games. Of course, that was despite being swept in four games at the hands of the Athletics. The Astros will need to rebound in a hurry if they want to catch the Indians for best record in the AL. The Los Angeles Angels, on the other hand, will be a formidable opponent this week. In a best of three, the Angels have the better motivation. They’re still on the outside looking in to the AL Wild Card picture while the Astros all-but-have the AL West locked up.... 

After being interchangeable most of the year, the Arizona Diamondbacks have taken a sizeable lead over the Colorado Rockies for the top Wild Card spot. We may be getting four previews of the Wild Card game this week with the D-Backs hosting Colorado through Thursday in the final meeting between these two teams before—potentially—October.... 

It was a nice run for the Milwaukee Brewers who spent a good chunk of the year at the top of the division. With the Cardinals now passing them, their last shot to get back in the division picture is over the weekend against the NL Central leading Chicago Cubs. After months of waiting the Cubbies are playing more like expectations. It’s a longshot for the Brew Crew, but a series win is a must to keep divisional hopes alive....

The Kansas City Royals used a 13-2 shellacking of the Tigers to stay within two and a half games of the Wild Card in the AL. With the Royals in the hunt and the Minnesota Twins leading the back for the second Wild Card spot, this series is huge. While the Twins would remain in the hunt even after a sweep, a sweep—or even series loss—by the Royals could be the final nail in the coffin of K.C.’s season. This series will be contested from Thursday, September 7, 2017 through Sunday, September 10, 2017 at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.... 

Heading into the series against the Chicago White Sox, the Cleveland Indians had a 11-game winning streak. They expanded that streak to 12 games in the series opener in Chicago. Cleveland has gotten red hot and is on a roll, much like the team was at the end of last year. Can this team stay scorching hot and extend their winning streak, top the Houston Astros for best record in the AL and use the momentum throughout September and into October? Only time will tell.... 

The Los Angeles Dodgers have now lost eight of their last nine games, including dropping three of four against the Padres. L.A. has also now lost three straight series for the first time this season. This is the team’s only real losing streak. A return home should help get the Dodgers back on track, but they’ll be going up against the Arizona Diamondbacks in a best of three starting Monday. Arizona swept the Dodgers last week as part of their now 10-game winning streak.... 

The Boston Red Sox are holding on to the division lead in the AL East and with the New York Yankees slipping since the break, they look locked in for the division. Sunday represents the Yankees’ final chance against the BoSox in the regular season. It’s also a much more important win for the Bronx Bombers who are starting to see some teams catching up with the Twins, Angels and Orioles all closing the gap, sitting only a couple games back of that first Wild Card spot.You can bet on MLB odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season.... 

The Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks have been one and two in the NL Wild Card race throughout the summer and are holding on as we kick off the final month of the regular season. The Rockies, however, do seem vulnerable with questionable pitching as they try and hold on to their position. Arizona, on the other hand, had a huge series sweep against the Dodgers this past week, something no other team has been able to do. This series will be contested from Friday, September 1, 2017 through Sunday, September 3, 2017 at Coors Field in Denver.... 

This weekend we have yet another installment of the heating Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees rivalry. This rivalry has slowed some in recent years, but with both the Sox and Yanks pushing towards the postseason things have heated up again in 2017. So far, these teams have split their first 15 meetings with New York winning eight and tallying 11 more runs. This will be the last meeting between these two squads unless they matchup in October.... 

This series was supposed to kick off on Tuesday in Houston, but given the flooding because of Hurricane Harvey, the series will relocate to Tropicana Field—home of the Tampa Bay Rays. Houston Astros will remain the home team in the contests. The teams will continue playing despite the tragedy. Houston will look to avoid distraction as they take on the Rangers, a team that they went 4-15 against last year. They’re already 8-5 against them in 2017.... 

The Miami Marlins are playing as well as any team right now and making a run, putting themselves at least in the October conversation with a month to go in the regular season. Given the lead, the Fish will not catch the Washington Nationals in the NL East, but the Wild Card is now a remote possibility. To keep that hope alive, however, they’ll need to prove they can at least hold their own against the division leaders in a three-game set starting on Monday.... 

The Milwaukee Brewers’ nine-game swing through the NL West continues with a three-game weekend series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. After dropping two of three against the last-place Giants, taking on the first-place Dodgers is a tall order for a team struggling to stay relevant in the NL Central and NL Wild Card races. The Dodgers, on the other hand, are coasting and are already looking towards the postseason.... 

Both the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees remain in the thick of things in the convoluted AL Wild Card race. The Yankees sit three games up on everyone else while the Mariners are only a couple games back of the other spot. With how this season has gone and given the current standings, this series is crucial for both teams....

The Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians kicked off a four-game series on Monday night with the Tribe getting the victory. This is a rematch of last season’s ALDS with Cleveland reestablishing its dominance against the Sox early. The rest of the series should be an interesting test for both teams as they each are sitting atop their respective divisions and are now tasked with getting ready to make a postseason run. This series will be contested from Monday, August 21, 2017 through Thursday, August 24, 2017 at Progressive Field in Cleveland. Both games on Wednesday and Thursday night will be broadcast on MLB Network for those outside the local television markets.... 

The Los Angeles Angels are tied with the Twins for the second Wild Card spot in the AL East while the Texas Rangers remain one of a handful of teams within striking distance, just a few games back. This series is one that could have major postseason implications with the Halos tried to go on a run and the Rangers looking to close the gap. This series will be contested from Monday, August 21, 2017 through Thursday, August 24, 2017 at Angels Stadium in Anaheim. The games on Tuesday and Wednesday will both been televised nationally on ESPN.... 

The most storied rivalry in sports—or at least in baseball, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will add yet another chapter to that story over the weekend in a three-game series at historic Fenway Park. The Yankees have gone 7-5 in their first 12 head-to-head games this season, but its Boston that holds the division lead over a slumping Bronx Bombers team. This series will be contested from Friday, August 18, 2017 through Sunday, August 20, 2017 at Fenway Park in Boston. The games on Friday and Saturday will each be broadcast on MLB Network for those outside the local viewing markets while Sunday’s game will be shown on TBS....
