Chicago White Sox vs Kansas City Royals Picks and Predictions – April 9
The White Sox head to Kauffman Stadium on Thursday night for the final game of this AL Central matchup, with first pitch set for 7:40 p.m. ET in Kansas City. Chicago comes in at 4-8 and riding a three-game losing streak, while the Royals are 5-7 after dropping their last two. It is still early, obviously, but this already feels like a useful spot for separating which team is merely off to a slow start and which team has real underlying problems. You can scan the rest of Thursday’s MLB previews if you are comparing this game to the full board. The pitching matchup is Anthony Kay for Chicago against Seth Lugo for Kansas City, and that alone explains most

Colorado Rockies vs San Diego Padres Picks and Predictions – April 9
Colorado heads to PETCO Park on Thursday night trying to keep a surprising four-game winning streak alive, while San Diego opens a new home series looking to get back above .500. First pitch is set for 9:40 p.m. ET in San Diego, with both clubs entering at 6-6. The Rockies just swept Houston at Coors Field, and the Padres come home after closing their road trip with an 8-2 win over Pittsburgh. The market has San Diego installed as a clear home favorite, which is not shocking, but the number is large enough to make this game more interesting than it looks at first glance. The bigger handicap point is on the mound. Randy Vásquez gets the ball for San

Detroit Tigers vs Minnesota Twins Picks and Predictions – April 9
Minnesota goes for the four-game sweep Thursday afternoon at Target Field, with first pitch set for 1:40 p.m. ET. The Twins enter at 6-6 and second in the AL Central after taking the first three games of this set, while Detroit is 4-8 and sitting fifth after dropping four straight. The market has flipped toward the Tigers despite the skid, mostly because Jack Flaherty gets the ball against Mick Abel in a matchup between two right-handers who have both opened the season in rough form. This is one of those early-April divisional games that matters a little more than the calendar says it should. Minnesota has finally found some life offensively, putting up 19 runs through the first three games

Athletics vs Yankees Picks and Predictions – April 9
New York gets the rubber match at Yankee Stadium on Thursday afternoon, with first pitch set for 1:35 p.m. ET on MLB.TV. The Yankees enter at 8-3 and sitting atop the AL East, while the Athletics are 4-7 and fourth in the AL West. It is still early, obviously, but this spot matters a bit more for Oakland after stealing Wednesday’s 3-2 win and giving itself a chance at a statement road series victory. The bigger betting story is the matchup itself. Jeffrey Springs has looked sharp through two starts for the A’s, and Ryan Weathers is still trying to settle in for New York. Add in the cold Bronx weather, a total sitting in the 8 to 8.5 range

Cincinnati Reds vs Miami Marlins Picks and Predictions – April 9
Cincinnati closes its four-game set in Miami on Thursday afternoon with Rhett Lowder on the mound, and that is a pretty good place to start if you are looking for a betting angle. First pitch is set for 12:10 p.m. ET at loanDepot park, with the Reds at 8-4 and the Marlins at 7-5 entering the finale. Cincinnati had its five-game winning streak snapped in Wednesday’s 7-4 loss, while Miami finally got back in the win column after dropping the first two games of the series. TV coverage is listed on Marlins.TV and Reds.TV. Lowder has been one of the early-season stories in the National League. He is 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA through two starts this season, and he
