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

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.

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

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.

Washington, meanwhile, has gotten real
