April 30, 2026 By Scores And Stats | MLB

The San Francisco Giants visit the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on Thursday, April 30, with first pitch scheduled for 12:35 PM ET. San Francisco enters at 13-16 and fifth in the NL West, but the Giants have played better lately, winning six of their last 10 despite getting shut out 7-0 in the series opener. Philadelphia is 10-19 and fourth in the NL East, which is not where this roster expected to be at the end of April. Still, the Phillies did get a needed response in their last game, using strong pitching and a more complete offensive effort to beat San Francisco. This is also a doubleheader day after Wednesday’s postponement, so bullpen planning and lineup management

The Colorado Rockies visit the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park on Thursday, April 30, with first pitch scheduled for 12:40 PM ET. Colorado enters at 14-17 and fourth in the NL West, but the Rockies have been more competitive lately, going 6-4 over their last 10 and coming off a 13-2 win over Cincinnati. The Reds come in at 19-11 and first in the NL Central. They lost Wednesday’s game badly, but this is still a team playing strong baseball overall, with seven wins in its last 10. Cincinnati also gets the home-field edge at one of the better power parks in the league, which matters in a matchup where both lineups have extra-base ability. The market has

April 30, 2026 By Scores And Stats | MLB

The Washington Nationals visit the New York Mets at Citi Field on Thursday, April 30, with first pitch scheduled for 1:10 PM ET. Washington enters at 14-17 and third in the NL East, while New York sits at 10-20 and last in the division. The Mets are favored despite their ugly form, with Freddy Peralta set to face Miles Mikolas in a matchup that puts pitching volatility front and center. Washington comes in with momentum after crushing New York 14-2 on Wednesday. The Nationals had 15 hits, six extra-base hits, and a seven-run fourth inning that broke the game open. New York has now lost 16 of its last 19 games, which makes it tough to trust the Mets at

April 30, 2026 By Scores And Stats | MLB

The Arizona Diamondbacks visit the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field on Thursday, April 30, with first pitch scheduled for 1:40 PM ET. Arizona enters at 16-13 and third in the NL West, while Milwaukee comes in at 15-14 and fourth in the NL Central. The series is tied 1-1 after Arizona answered Tuesday’s blowout loss with a 6-2 win on Wednesday. This is a pretty interesting price spot. The Diamondbacks have the better record, the hotter starting pitcher, and the better recent result, but the Brewers are still favored at home. That is mostly about the broader pitching-staff edge, Brandon Woodruff’s track record, and Milwaukee’s ability to create pressure with on-base skill and speed. Arizona is priced around +104

April 30, 2026 By Scores And Stats | MLB

The Kansas City Royals visit the Athletics at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento on Thursday, April 30, with first pitch set for 3:05 PM local time. Kansas City enters at 12-17 and has been playing its best baseball of the season, winning four straight before this series flipped into a tight closing spot. The Athletics come in at 15-14 and first in the AL West, which still feels a little surprising, but the record is real enough for the market to respect it. This is a good betting matchup because the records, recent form, and market price do not all point in the same direction. The Royals have the momentum and just beat the Athletics 4-1 behind a strong
