Pittsburgh Pirates vs Cincinnati Reds Picks and Predictions May 1st 2026
The Cincinnati Reds begin May atop the National League Central standings, having won five consecutive series heading into a seven-game road trip that begins Friday night in Pittsburgh. Cincinnati's 20-11 record is the team's best 31-game start since 2006 and also marks the first time in franchise history that the Reds won 20 games in a season before May 1. Cincinnati has lost just two series all season but one of them was to the Pirates from March 30-April 1. Brady Singer (2-1, 4.97 ERA), who picked up wins in two of his past three starts, will pitch the series opener for the Reds. He will be opposed by fellow right-hander Mitch Keller (2-1, 3.18). Singer is 2-4 with a

Chicago Cubs vs Arizona Diamondbacks Picks and Predictions May 1st 2026
Zac Gallen will start the opening contest of the Arizona Diamondbacks' three-game series against the Chicago Cubs on Friday afternoon with a purple, baseball-seamed bruise on his right shoulder after being struck by a line drive in his latest start. The Diamondbacks as a whole can relate. The D-backs are in their roughest stretch of the season as they head to Chicago to conclude a six-game Midwestern road trip. Arizona was outscored 28-9 while losing two of three games in Milwaukee to start the week, and the Diamondbacks have lost six of their past nine overall. They dropped 13-2 and 13-1 blowouts on either side of a 6-2 win over the Brewers. "The two games we lost here, we have

Utah Mammoth vs Vegas Golden Knights Picks and Predictions May 1st 2026
After their second consecutive 5-4 overtime loss on Wednesday, you might expect the Utah Mammoth to be a little demoralized heading into Game 6 of their best-of-seven Western Conference first-round series with the Vegas Golden Knights. But the mood around the Mammoth was surprisingly upbeat heading back to Salt Lake City for their must-win matchup with the Pacific Division champions. "We're a confident group," Utah captain Clayton Keller said. "We believe in one another and in our team, and I think these are the most fun games to be a part of. Down 3-2, we get to go home, play in front of our fans. If you're not fired up for that, then you've got something wrong with you." The

San Diego Padres vs Chicago White Sox Picks and Predictions April 30th 2026
It's safe to say that no one had San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. getting to May 1 without a homer on his stat sheet. But that's the case as Tatis and San Diego gear up for the first game on Friday of a three-game weekend series against the visiting Chicago White Sox. It would be ironic if Tatis finally went deep against the organization that originally found him before trading him in June 2016 for the veteran right-hander James Shields, a one-time All-Star who went 4-12 that season with Chicago and 16-35 there to close out his career. Since making his major league debut with the Padres in 2019, Tatis has slugged 152 homers, winning a home run

Crystal Palace vs Shakhtar Donetsk Picks and Predictions – April 30, 2026
Crystal Palace visit Shakhtar Donetsk on Thursday, April 30, 2026, for the first leg of their UEFA Conference League semifinal. The match is being played at Henryk Reyman Municipal Stadium in Krakow, Poland, with kickoff set for 3:00 PM ET. Shakhtar are the listed home side, but this is not a true home-field spot in the normal sense because their European matches continue to be staged outside Ukraine. That neutral-site angle makes this a little more interesting than the prices suggest. Palace are favored, and that makes sense given the Premier League profile, their transition threat, and Oliver Glasner’s tournament experience. But Shakhtar are not some soft semifinal opponent. They have lost only once in their last 23 matches in
