The Giants head into Great American Ball Park on Wednesday night trying to stop a three-game slide, and this is not exactly an easy reset spot. First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. ET in Cincinnati. San Francisco comes in at 6-11 and has not found much rhythm at the plate lately, while the Reds sit at 10-7 and are leading the NL Central despite still feeling a little uneven from game to game. The market opened this one close to a pick’em, with San Francisco a slight road favorite and the total sitting at 9. That price is interesting because Cincinnati already took Tuesday’s opener 2-1 and has been a little more trustworthy in tighter games. The Giants have

The Los Angeles Angels head to Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night for the third game of this four-game set, with first pitch scheduled for 7:05 p.m. Eastern. Both clubs come in hovering around .500, with the Angels at 9-9 and third in the AL West, while the Yankees are 9-8 and third in the AL East.

Hoerner, who has 16 hits and 11 RBIs in April, joined Alex Bregman and Carson Kelly in driving in three runs apiece for Chicago during a 10-4 victory over Philadelphia on Tuesday. Hoerner recorded an RBI single in the third inning and joined Bregman with a two-run single in the sixth. “The at-bat where Nico drove in two (runs) is kind of a Nico at-bat,” Cubs manager Craig Counsell said. “He gets down 0-2, fouls a couple pitches off, and then he puts a ball in play. That’s the difference in

Boston heads back into Target Field on Wednesday afternoon trying to avoid a sweep after dropping the first two games of this series. First pitch is set for 1:40 p.m. ET in Minneapolis, with NESN, Twins.TV, and MLB.TV carrying the game. The Red Sox come in at 6-11 and last in the AL East, while the Twins are 11-7 and sitting first in the AL Central. The listed pitching matchup is Connelly Early against Simeon Woods Richardson, and that is probably the only reason Boston is still being priced as a road favorite here. Still, the bigger form angle points the other way. Minnesota is 8-2 over its last 10 games, 7-2 at home, and just shut Boston out 6-0
