Oakland Athletics vs Philadelphia Phillies Picks and Predictions May 23rd 2025
When everything goes wrong at once, even the best managers can be left scratching their heads. That’s exactly where Mark Kotsay finds himself as his Oakland Athletics open a three-game home series Friday night against the Philadelphia Phillies, the current powerhouse of the National League. With nine straight losses and no clear fix in sight, the A’s face a challenge made even steeper by the opponent: the Phillies ride into West Sacramento on a seven-game winning streak, armed with elite pitching and a red-hot lineup. Let’s take a closer look at what’s going right for Philly, what’s gone wrong for Oakland, and how Friday’s showdown could unfold. On Thursday, the Athletics seemed poised to break their losing streak. They led

Los Angeles Angels vs Miami Marlins Picks and Predictions May 23rd 2025
The Los Angeles Angels have flipped the switch—and they’ve done it in style. As they return home to Anaheim on Friday night to face the Miami Marlins, the Halos are riding a seven-game win streak, their longest since 2022. It’s not just the wins—it’s how they’re doing it. The Angels just wrapped up a 10-game road trip with an 8-2 record, averaging nearly 7 runs per game along the way. Their lineup is suddenly one of the most explosive in the league, and with momentum on their side, they’re aiming to keep it rolling against a struggling Miami squad. Two names have consistently been at the heart of this offensive explosion: Taylor Ward and Logan O’Hoppe. Both sluggers hit home

Colorado Rockies vs Picks and Predictions May 23rd 2025
Coors Field is typically known for offense and elevation—but for the Colorado Rockies, it’s offered no protection this season. After being swept in four straight games by the Philadelphia Phillies, the Rockies now brace for another juggernaut as the first-place New York Yankees arrive in Denver for a three-game weekend series. The Yankees are flying high, led by Aaron Judge and an improving supporting cast. Meanwhile, the Rockies are mired in a historic slump with no signs of a turnaround just yet. Aaron Judge is known for hot streaks, but what he’s doing right now is next level. Heading into the series, he’s hitting .396, and he’s doing it with authority—lining extra-base hits, drawing walks, and crushing mistakes. With his

Boston Red Sox vs Baltimore Orioles Picks and Predictions May 23rd 2025
Mother Nature had other plans Thursday, postponing the series opener between the Boston Red Sox and visiting Baltimore Orioles. Now, the teams will kick off their weekend showdown with a day-night doubleheader on Friday at Fenway Park. It’s a crucial set for both clubs. The Red Sox are trying to regain consistency amid offensive and pitching concerns, while the Orioles are attempting to move forward after a dramatic week—one that included a managerial change and the snapping of a prolonged losing streak. It’s been a rollercoaster for the Orioles, but Wednesday night offered a breather. Interim manager Tony Mansolino, who stepped in after Brandon Hyde was dismissed, captured his first win—a gritty 8-4 extra-inning victory over the Brewers. “We win

Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City Royals Picks and Predictions May 23rd 2025
After seeing their 10-game home winning streak snapped by the Cleveland Guardians, the Minnesota Twins will look to bounce back and reignite their Target Field dominance as they host the Kansas City Royals for a three-game series starting Friday night. The Twins had Thursday off to regroup following Wednesday’s 5-1 loss, but their recent run of form has been one of the hottest in baseball. Since April 22, Minnesota has gone 20-7, pushing themselves into a tightly packed American League Central race with Kansas City and Cleveland. All three teams enter the weekend trailing the division-leading Detroit Tigers by just five games. That team-wide mentality has powered the Twins through the past month, especially at home, where they’ve turned Target
