After two statement wins in Milwaukee, the Chicago Cubs are heading into Sunday’s series finale with a chance to complete a clean sweep of the division-rival Brewers. Their bats are hot, their pitching is locked in, and they’ve won four of their last five games. Saturday’s 6-2 win followed a dominant 10-0 blowout Friday night. Across this red-hot stretch, the Cubs have shown exactly why they lead the National League in batting average (.265), runs scored (208), on-base percentage (.341), and slugging percentage (.462). They’ll look to keep that offensive fire burning against Milwaukee’s ace Freddy Peralta, while Shota Imanaga gets the nod for Chicago. Want to explore top picks and trends?

As the New York Mets navigate a brutal 13-game, 13-day stretch, the timing couldn’t be better to dip into their pipeline. With Saturday’s rainout in St. Louis, the Mets not only got a breather for their rotation—they got the chance to finally debut one of their most electric young arms: Blade Tidwell. The 22-year-old right-hander will take the mound Sunday for Game 1 of a day-night doubleheader against the Cardinals. Game 2 will feature Mets regular Tylor Megill, who benefits from an extra day of rest.

Edward Cabrera (0–1, 7.23 ERA) boasts a 2.92 career ERA against the A’s, allowing zero runs in 14 innings and striking out 17. Against the rest of MLB, he’s struggled, but today’s matchup against JP Sears (4–2, 2.94 ERA) could tilt in his favor.

FC Cincinnati heads into Sunday’s clash in New York at full strength for the first time this season, with defenders Miles Robinson, Matt Miazga and midfielders Yuya Kubo and Teenage Hadebe all available. Manager Pat Noonan will look to harness their return to maintain the intensity that fueled five straight wins. Kevin Denkey and Evander each have six goals, and Denkey’s bicycle-kick strike last weekend earned MLS Goal of the Week honors. Their ability to combine pace and poise in the box has unsettled defenses, and Cincinnati will rely on their clinical finishing to break the Citi Field curse. New York City FC boasts a strong home record, and FC Cincinnati has never won at the venue. Pascal Jensen’s men
