Cleveland heads into Los Angeles for Wednesday night’s series finale at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium, with first pitch set for 8:20 p.m. ET. The Guardians are 3-2 and sitting atop the AL Central, while the Dodgers are 3-1 and already looking every bit like the team to beat in the NL West. This is a good early-season measuring-stick game, especially after Cleveland took the last meeting 4-2 on March 30. There is a little tension in this spot, too. The Guardians have played crisp baseball through five games, getting enough contact, enough doubles, and just enough pitching to stay in control late.

Texas heads into Camden Yards on Tuesday night looking to keep its early run going after opening the season 3-1 and sitting on top of the AL West. Baltimore is 2-2, third in the AL East, and trying to answer after dropping Monday’s opener 5-2.

From a standings angle, Chicago is already chasing in the AL Central, and Miami is trying to keep an early home edge going before this schedule toughens up. Monday’s 9-4 White Sox win changed the tone a bit. Miguel Vargas drove in six, Austin Hays left the yard, and Chicago finally showed some real thump after a flat opening series in Milwaukee. Miami

The Pittsburgh Pirates head into Great American Ball Park on Tuesday night trying to stop an early slide after opening the season 1-3, while the Reds have started 3-1 and carry a three-game winning streak into this matchup. Cincinnati sits second in the NL Central and Pittsburgh is fifth. First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. ET in Cincinnati, with the local broadcast listed as SportsNet Pittsburgh and Reds.TV. Monday’s opener stayed tight for most of the night, but the Reds finished the job in a 2-0 win behind Chase Burns and a sharp bullpen effort.
