Arizona stays at Citi Field for the second game of the series on Wednesday afternoon, with first pitch set for 4:10 p.m. ET after the weather-related schedule adjustment. The Diamondbacks come in 5-6 and still looking for their first road win at 0-4 away from home, while the Mets are 7-4, have won four straight, and just edged Arizona 4-3 in 10 innings on Tuesday. Ryne Nelson is set to start for Arizona, and David Peterson goes for New York in a matchup that feels a little more offense-friendly than Tuesday’s Gallen-Peralta game. The weather is still part of the handicap, but less than it was for the original evening start. Citi Field is expected to be cool with a

Chicago and Tampa Bay meet Wednesday night at Tropicana Field, with first pitch set for 6:40 p.m. ET on Marquee Sports Network. Both clubs come in at 5-6, so this is one of those early-April games that matters a bit more than it looks. The Cubs are coming off a 9-2 win in Tuesday’s matchup, while the Rays are trying to respond after getting handled at home in their return to Tropicana Field.

First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. ET. The listed starters are Brady Singer for Cincinnati and Eury Pérez for Miami. Singer has a 5.00 ERA through his first two starts, while Pérez

The Edmonton Oilers head to SAP Center on Wednesday, April 8 for a 10:00 PM ET puck drop against the San Jose Sharks, with TNT carrying the broadcast. Edmonton enters at 39-29-10 and San Jose is 37-32-7, so this one matters for playoff positioning even if the records do not look especially close at first glance. The Oilers are still chasing stability without a fully healthy top-end lineup, while the Sharks have turned this into a real race by stacking wins late in the season. Edmonton is coming off a 6-5 overtime loss at Utah on Tuesday, which adds a rest disadvantage here, and that is probably the first thing I look at before even getting to the price. San
