Heading into the series, these AL Central rivals are separated by half a game, both sitting right around .500 despite low expectations for these supposed rebuilding franchises. Both of these teams, however, are coming off series losses and each will be anxious to reverse course and keep proving their doubters wrong, but in this series only one will be able to prove successful in that task.... 

The New York Mets have padded their record a bit over the last few games, but they still qualify as one of the NL’s biggest disappointments to this point in the season, right along the same San Francisco Giants team that they’re set to host in a three game set beginning on Monday. These two teams were the wildcard squads last year and went into the year with playoff aspirations, but both have been riddled with key injuries and find themselves struggling to stay afloat here in the season’s second month. This series will be contested from Monday, May 8, 2017 through Wednesday, May 10, 2017 at Citi Field in New York. Monday's clash is being shown live on ESPN while the game on Wednesday can be seen nationally as well for those out of the local market on the MLB Network.... 

The St. Louis Cardinals and Miami Marlins wrap up a three game series with a game on national television on Wednesday night. The Cardinals are playing better baseball after a rough start while the Marlins find themselves several games under-.500 here in mid-May and are struggling to remain relevant in what is ultimately a very weak NL East division aside from the Nationals at the top.You can bet on MLB odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season.... 

The last time the Cleveland Indians were in Toronto, they defeated the Blue Jays in the American League Championship Series to advance to the World Series. They are playing well enough to feel like they have a good shot at getting back there, while Toronto needs to turn it around in a hurry if it wants to get back in the playoff hunt.... 

Two of the hottest teams in the major leagues will face off in an interleague showdown this week. The Washington Nationals will make the short trek to match up with the Baltimore Orioles, and it’s possible one of them leaves with the best record in baseball. The Nationals enter at 21-11 while Baltimore is right behind at 20-10.... 

The Colorado Rockies will host the Chicago Cubs and they’ll enter play with a better record than the defending World Series Champions. Let that sink in for a moment. Right now, the Rockies who struggle with arguably the biggest home/road variation in baseball and have long lacked the pitching to make any noise, have a better record than the team that was the preseason consensus to win it all. OF course, it’s still early and a lot can change, but this dynamic set us up for an interesting three game set in Colorado.... 

The Rangers have to go on the road for this one but they have their ace on the mound Friday, which will definitely give them a boost. Texas would love to steal a series victory on the road while Seattle needs to defend their home field after a it of a slow start.These two teams could be in the playoff race as the season goes on but both need to pick it up.... 

The Miami Marlins and the New York Mets have gotten off to slow starts and will face off for their third series of the season in New York this weekend. The Marlins won the first and second series, capturing five of the seven head-to-head matchups thus far.Despite that advantage, the teams enter with identical 12-15 marks, which is already 6.5 games behind the Nationals in the division. The Mets could be favored to win the majority of games in this series because of their home field advantage....

The St. Louis Cardinals will get their first look at the new SunTrust Park as they head to Georgia to take on the Atlanta Braves in a best of three series over the weekend. The Cards are playing much better baseball of late after a very rough start and have gotten back to .500. They’ll look to get past that against the Braves.... 

The Los Angeles Dodgers are back at it against the San Diego Padres this weekend. They’ll head to San Diego this weekend after the two team last squared off in an opening week four game set. San Diego has shown some flashes here and there of the future, but for now, the Dodgers will embrace this series as a chance to finally set the sails more firmly in the right direction.... 

The Cubs haven’t totally clicked yet this season but have a deep lineup and an excellent pitching staff. It’s only a matter of time until they get hot and pull away from the rest of the contenders in the National League Central.This is a game between two of the most popular teams in baseball and each are good this year. It should be a lot of fun and there will be plenty of eyeballs on the North Side this week. The Cubs have the inferior record on the season but should be favored to capture the majority of the matchups in this three-game series.... 

Cincinnati has actually been the better team thus far but doesn’t have the type of starting pitching to remain competitive for very long this season. The Giants badly need to win this series, but they are on the road for this one, which will make it tough.The Reds, meanwhile, would love to keep taking positive forward steps as they figure out who to build around moving forward.... 

This is only the Baltimore Orioles’ second series of the year outside of the AL East and their first against an AL Central foe as they welcome the surprisingly solid Chicago White Sox to Camden Yards for a three-game weekend series. The Birds outscored the Sox by 12 runs in seven games last season, but these two teams ended up very close in head-to-head wins with the O’s winning four of those seven contests.... 

The Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins are really familiar with each other as they both claim Fort Myers are their Spring Training home, but this’ll be their first meeting of the year that actually counts. Surprisingly, both of these teams sit with similar records as this series begins.... 

It’s not much of a surprise to see the Washington Nationals with one of the best records in the majors early on. However, they will do battle in a three-game series this week with a more unexpected success story. The Arizona Diamondbacks have started the season strong and would love to keep it rolling on the road.While the D-Backs have surpassed expectations thus far, they could be hard-pressed to come away with a series win. The Nationals have the best run-differential in baseball early on and the home field as they will aim to secure at least two wins and would love to get a defining sweep.... 

While Oakland is 11-14 on the season, which isn’t too bad, its offense has been among the worst in baseball early on and it needs to break out if the underdog A’s have any chance of sticking around in the playoff hunt this year.Neither of these teams are expected to be very good this year, but both have been serviceable through the first month of the season and want to keep it rolling in a series that could go either way. The Twins haven’t played well at home this year and want to turn that around against Oakland.... 

It’s still early, but that excuse is starting to lose its meaning now that the calendar has flipped to May. The San Francisco Giants, however, still hope that they can turn things around, but it’s been a tough go for them and with Madison Bumgarner out for a while, they’re more than short-handed. The Los Angeles Dodgers haven’t had as strong of a start as they would’ve hoped for either, but they’re certainly the better team right now as these two rivals get set for a three game set in southern California. This series will be contested from Monday, May 1, 2017 through Wednesday, May 3, 2017 at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles. The games on Monday and Thursday will both be available to be seen on the MLB Network in out-of-market regions.... 

The Baltimore Orioles were the best team in the American League heading into their weekend series against the Yankees, but came out with their first series loss, licking their wombs. They’ll look to get back to their winning ways in a four game set at Fenway Park against a Boston Red Sox team they took two of three from a little more than a week ago. This series will be contested from Monday, May 1, 2017 through Thursday May, 4, 2017 at Fenway Park in Boston. Monday's clash is being shown live on ESPN while the games on Tuesday and Thursday can be seen on the MLB Network.... 

The Colorado Rockies were the sexy pick as the surprise team in the National League. It’s still early, but as of right now, it looks like that pick was right one. Colorado has held its own against some of the better teams in the league and will get a bit of a breather as they escape the hitter’s dream park of Coors Field to the pitchers’ haven of Petco to take on the struggling San Diego Padres.... 

Here we are in May and the Los Angeles Angels have a two and a half game lead on the Seattle Mariners in the AL West standings, sitting second behind Houston the division. After a slow start, the Mariners are trying to regain momentum while the Angels have managed to continue its strong play despite lackluster pitching and little support for Mike Trout in the lineup....

The Cleveland Indians came just shy of winning the World Series a year ago. With a talented pitching staff and solid position players, they should again be in the playoff hunt. The Indians are atop the American League Central early in the season and hope to remain there when they face off with divisional rival the Detroit Tigers this week in a four-game series....
