Athletics vs Mets Picks and Predictions – April 12
The Athletics head into Sunday’s series finale at Citi Field with a real chance to finish off a three-game sweep, and they have earned it. They are 7-7, tied for first in the AL West, and riding a four-game winning streak after taking the first two games of this set. The Mets have slid the other way. New York is 7-8, fourth in the NL East, and has dropped four straight heading into a 1:40 p.m. ET first pitch in Queens. The game streams on MLB.TV, and the market has the Mets favored behind Freddy Peralta despite how rough this homestand has looked. This matchup is interesting because the surface numbers are not as far apart as the mood around

New York Yankees vs Tampa Bay Rays Picks and Predictions – April 12
The Yankees head into Sunday’s series finale at Tropicana Field trying to stop a four-game skid, while the Rays are chasing a three-game sweep and a chance to climb back over .500. First pitch is set for 1:40 p.m. ET in St. Petersburg, with New York entering 8-6 and leading the AL East, while Tampa Bay is 7-7 and sitting one game back in third. The matchup is on MLB.TV and ESPN Unlimited, and the market has the Yankees installed as a road favorite behind Cam Schlittler against Drew Rasmussen. This is also a pretty interesting contrast in styles. New York still owns the better run prevention profile and a 5-3 road record, but the offense has gone cold during

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Philadelphia Phillies Picks and Predictions – April 12
The Diamondbacks and Phillies close out a tight weekend set Sunday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park, with first pitch set for 1:35 p.m. ET. Arizona comes in 8-7 and third in the NL West, while Philadelphia is 7-7 and third in the NL East. The market still leans Phillies at home, with the price sitting in the mid -140s and the total at 8.5 for a game that will air on NBCSP and Dbacks.TV. That price is interesting because the starting pitching matchup is not especially favorable for Philadelphia on paper. Zac Gallen gets the ball for Arizona after allowing only one earned run over his last two starts, while Andrew Painter is making just his third big-league start after

Washington Nationals vs Milwaukee Brewers Picks and Predictions – April 12
The Milwaukee Brewers head into Sunday’s series finale at American Family Field trying to avoid a sweep after dropping the first two games to Washington. First pitch is set for 2:10 p.m. ET, with Brewers.TV and Nationals.TV carrying the broadcast. Milwaukee is 8-6 and trying to stop a four-game slide, while Washington has pushed to 6-8 after a rough start and suddenly has a chance to leave town with a clean three-game road sweep. This matchup feels a little different than it did when the series opened. The Brewers have scored only six runs during their losing streak, and the lineup still looks thinner than Milwaukee would like with Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn unavailable. Washington, meanwhile, has gotten real

White Sox vs Royals Picks and Predictions – April 12
Sunday’s series finale at Kauffman Stadium has a very clear early shape to it. Kansas City comes in 7-8 and sitting third in the AL Central, while Chicago is 5-10 and already digging out from the bottom half of the division. First pitch is set for 2:10 p.m. ET, with coverage on Chicago Sports Network and Royals.TV, and the market has Kansas City installed as a fairly solid home favorite in a game with a low-to-mid total. The Royals have taken two straight 2-0 wins in this series and have done it almost entirely with pitching. Seth Lugo, Kris Bubic, and Michael Wacha combined for 21 1/3 innings, 10 hits allowed, two runs allowed, and 22 strikeouts in the first
