Texas opens a four-game AL West set on Monday night at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, with first pitch set for 9:40 p.m. ET on MLB.TV. Both clubs come in 8-7, so this is one of those early April division games that actually matters a bit more than it looks. The Rangers just avoided a sweep in Los Angeles with a 5-2 win over the Dodgers, while the Athletics bring a five-game winning streak into this one after finishing off a road sweep of the Mets. The listed starters are Nathan Eovaldi for Texas and Luis Severino for the Athletics. Texas opened around -131, with the Athletics at roughly +109 to +112, and the total sitting at 9. The

The New York Mets head to UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium on Monday night for the opener of a three-game set with the Los Angeles Dodgers. First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET, with coverage on SNY and SportsNet LA. New York comes in at 7-9 and sits fifth in the NL East after a five-game skid, while Los Angeles is 11-4, first in the NL West, and still one of the hottest offenses in baseball even after Sunday’s 5-2 loss to Texas. This is also a live market game, not a stale one. The Dodgers opened in the high -160s and had been bet up to around -181 by Monday afternoon, while the total held at 9 with

The Rangers are 33-38-9 and sitting last in the Metropolitan Division, while Florida is 38-38-4 and also well outside the playoff picture in the Atlantic. So yes, this is mostly about finishing strong, evaluating lineups, and finding value in a game between two teams that have had frustrating seasons. Still, the setup is not identical for both sides. New York just got shut out 2-0 by Dallas, but its recent form has been a little steadier than the record suggests,

Detroit heads to Benchmark International Arena on Monday night for a 7:00 p.m. ET start on ESPN+, and this one matters a lot more for Tampa Bay than it does for the visitor. The Red Wings are 41-30-9 and were eliminated from playoff contention with Saturday’s 5-3 loss to New Jersey, while the Lightning are 49-25-6 and still very much alive in the Atlantic Division race, sitting two points behind both Buffalo and Montreal entering the night. Tampa already has a playoff spot, but seeding and maybe even the division title are still in play. The recent form points in the same direction. Detroit has dropped two straight and gave up five goals to the Devils on Saturday, while Tampa
