April 8, 2026 By Scores And Stats | MLB

St. Louis and Washington close out this series Wednesday afternoon at Nationals Park, with first pitch set for 4:05 p.m. ET. The Cardinals are 6-5 after Tuesday’s 7-6 extra-inning win, while the Nationals are 4-7 and have now lost six of their last seven games. The pitching matchup is Michael McGreevy for St. Louis against Miles Mikolas for Washington, which is a notable change from the pitcher listed in your notes. MLB’s probable pitchers page shows McGreevy vs. Mikolas for today’s game. That change matters because it shifts the handicap a bit toward offense and late-inning volatility. Tuesday’s game already showed how live these two lineups can be in this matchup, and the market is sitting around Cardinals -126 with

The Braves and Angels wrap up this three-game set Wednesday afternoon at Angel Stadium, with first pitch set for 4:07 p.m. ET. Atlanta comes in 7-5 after snapping its skid with a 7-2 win Tuesday night, while Los Angeles is 6-6 and trying to answer after that loss pulled the series even at one game apiece. Grant Holmes gets the ball for the Braves, Reid Detmers starts for the Angels, and the setup feels tighter than the records alone suggest. If you are tracking the full slate, this is one of the more interesting spots on the day’s MLB game previews. The reason it is interesting is pretty simple.

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

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. The listed starters are Colin Rea for Chicago and Joe Boyle for Tampa Bay. Rea enters with a 4.26 ERA, while Boyle has been the sharper arm so far with a 3.18 ERA and 13 strikeouts.

Cincinnati heads into loanDepot Park on Wednesday night riding a five-game winning streak, and that is not a small thing this early in the season. The Reds are 8-3, sitting second in the NL Central, and they just took Tuesday’s game 6-3 in 10 innings after finally breaking through late against Sandy Alcantara. Miami is 6-5 and still third in the NL East, but the Marlins have now dropped two straight and this feels like a tougher reset spot with another live Cincinnati lineup coming in hot. 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
