The Colorado Rockies visit the New York Mets on Friday night at Citi Field, with first pitch set for 7:10 p.m. ET. Colorado enters at 10-16 and fifth in the NL West, while New York is 9-16 and fourth in the NL East. It is not a pretty record matchup, but it is still a useful betting spot because both teams have clear flaws and one obvious pitching gap. The Rockies have been poor away from Coors Field, sitting 3-10 on the road, and they are coming off a 10-8 loss to San Diego. Mickey Moniak had a huge game with two home runs and four hits, so the lineup is not completely dead, but Colorado still needs more than

The Minnesota Twins visit the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night at Tropicana Field, with first pitch set for 7:10 p.m. ET. Minnesota enters at 12-13 and third in the AL Central, while Tampa Bay is 13-11 and second in the AL East. The Rays are coming off a 6-1 win over Cincinnati, and the Twins are trying to stop a two-game slide after a 10-8 loss to the Mets.

Bradley has been excellent for Minnesota, while Drew Rasmussen gives Tampa Bay a low-WHIP starter with strong command. That is why the total is sitting at only 7.5, even with both teams showing

The Philadelphia Phillies head to Truist Park on Friday night to face the Atlanta Braves, with first pitch set for 7:15 p.m. ET. Philadelphia is 8-17 and stuck in a nine-game losing streak, while Atlanta is 18-8, first in the NL East, and already 8-2 against division opponents. That is a pretty sharp contrast for late April. One team is trying to stop the season from getting away early. The other is building separation. The game will be broadcast on APLTV, and the pitching matchup is expected to be Andrew Painter for Philadelphia against Grant Holmes for Atlanta. The Braves come in off a 7-2 win over Washington, where Ozzie Albies drove in four runs and JR Ritchie gave Atlanta

The Washington Nationals visit the Chicago White Sox on Friday night at Rate Field, with first pitch set for 7:40 p.m. ET. Washington enters at 11-15 and third in the NL East, while Chicago is 10-15 and fourth in the AL Central. Neither team has separation in the standings, but the White Sox come in with better recent momentum after taking a road series in Arizona. Washington has dropped two straight, including a 7-2 loss to Atlanta where the bright spots were mostly individual. CJ Abrams and James Wood both went deep, and Cade Cavalli struck out 10 over five innings, but the Nationals still could not keep the Braves from pulling away. Chicago is coming off a 4-1 win
