The Oakland Athletics host the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday, August 11, 2025, at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, CA.

The San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres open a pivotal three-game series at Oracle Park on Monday, August 11, 2025.

Arizona ranks 3rd in slugging percentage (.438) and 5th in doubles (207), showing they can hit for both power and extra bases.

The Milwaukee Brewers will try to keep their hot streak alive as they host the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday, August 11, 2025, at American Family Field. Milwaukee sends Jose Quintana (9–4, 3.57 ERA) to the mound against Andrew Heaney (5–9, 4.77 ERA). They get an early lead and Heaney keeps the ball in the park. Pittsburgh comes off a 14–8 slugfest loss to the Reds but showed offensive pop with 16 hits. Isiah Kiner-Falefa went 3-for-5 with 2 RBIs, while Jack Suwinski and Spencer Horwitz added multiple hits. Statistically, the Pirates’ pitching has been respectable — 6th in opponent batting average (.237) and 4th in fewest home runs allowed (115).
