Pittsburgh Pirates vs St. Louis Cardinals Picks and Predictions April 30th 2026
Hunter Dobbins will go up against a formidable opposite number in his Cardinals debut on Thursday afternoon when St. Louis opposes the host Pittsburgh Pirates. The 26-year-old right-hander will face the Pirates' ace, reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes (4-1, 2.48 ERA). St. Louis has won the first three contests of the four-game series after holding on for a 5-4 victory on Thursday night, which ended with Nathan Church leaping at the left field wall to snare Nick Gonzales' long drive with a runner on. Dobbins will be activated from the injured list to make a spot start with St. Louis in the team's stretch of 17 games in 17 days. Dobbins has been on a rehab

Atlanta Braves vs Detroit Tigers Picks and Predictions April 30th 2026
The Braves will look for their 11th straight win against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday afternoon when the teams play the finale of a three-game series in Atlanta. Matt Olson and the Braves gut-punched the Tigers on Wednesday when the first baseman crushed a two-run walk-off homer in the ninth inning. Detroit hasn't beaten Atlanta since June 12, 2023. "When you have good years, you tend to have games like that," Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said. "You look back and there's always 10 or 12 games you won that you necessarily shouldn't have. And we've had a few of those already. That's a good sign." Atlanta owns a major-league-best 22-9 mark, its best start in 26 years. The Braves have

Baltimore Orioles vs Houston Astros Picks and Predictions April 30th 2026
The Houston Astros and Baltimore Orioles wrap a weather-adjusted series day at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on Thursday, April 30, with this matchup expected to start around 4:05 PM ET as part of the doubleheader setup. Houston enters at 11-19, last in the AL West, and the road form is ugly at 3-11. Baltimore is 14-15, sitting third in the AL East, and trying to build off Tuesday’s 5-3 win in the series opener. This is not a clean spot for either side, mostly because the doubleheader changes bullpen usage, bench decisions, and lineup rhythm. The Astros have had offensive flashes, but the pitching staff has been a real problem. The Orioles are not exactly rolling either, sitting 5-5

Oakland Athletics vs Kansas City Royals Picks and Predictions April 29th 2026
The power bat of star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. was missing in action for the first 27 games of the Kansas City Royals' season. But suddenly, Witt has homered in back-to-back games, and he'll look to continue the streak Wednesday night when the Royals visit the Athletics in West Sacramento, Calif. Witt delivered a tie-breaking, three-run blast in the top of the 10th inning as the Royals beat the A's 4-1 in Tuesday's opener of the three-game series. He went the opposite way, and the blast barely cleared the short wall in right center to help Kansas City win its season-best fourth straight game. "Just trying to piece it at-bat by at-bat and day-by-day and just trying to enjoy every

Milwaukee Brewers vs Arizona Diamondbacks Picks and Predictions April 29th 2026
The Arizona Diamondbacks will look for left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez to continue his road success on Wednesday night when the team continues its three-game series the Milwaukee Brewers. Rodriguez (2-0, 2.89 ERA) will oppose Milwaukee right-hander Brandon Sproat (0-1, 6.45). The Brewers pounded out 15 hits and capitalized on six walks for a 13-2 victory in the series opener on Tuesday night. Sal Frelick jump-started Milwaukee's offense with a leadoff homer in the second, snapping the team's seven-game homerless streak. Milwaukee broke the game open with eight runs in the sixth inning, on eight hits -- including two bunt singles -- a walk and catcher's interference. "That's being relentless," Brewers manager Pat Murphy said afterward. "You give up two and then
