Pittsburgh Pirates vs St. Louis Cardinals Picks and Predictions April 29th 2026
St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol spoke Sunday of the team’s need to display resilience after absorbing a weekend series sweep at home against the Seattle Mariners. It’s safe to say that Marmol has liked his team’s response. After 4-2 and 11-7 victories in the first two contests of a four-game set at the Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis can earn a series win on Wednesday night. “In spring, you have to create some framework for how you want this group to operate mentally,” Marmol said. “What you have to build into that framework is we can’t care about gut punches and let them last longer than a night.” In this series, the Cardinals have been throwing all of the important

Atlanta Braves vs Detroit Tigers Picks and Predictions April 29th 2026
Two-time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal will take the mound on Wednesday night when his Detroit Tigers face the host Atlanta Braves and their top rookie pitching prospect. The Braves recorded a 5-2 victory Tuesday in the opener of a three-game series. It was Atlanta’s ninth straight win over the Tigers, who fell to 5-13 on the road this season. Atlanta has won 11 of its past 13 games overall. The left-handed Skubal (3-2, 2.72 ERA) will oppose Braves right-hander JR Ritchie (1-0, 2.57), who will make his second career start. Skubal had good stuff but received a no-decision against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday when he allowed four runs — three in the seventh inning without recording an

New York Mets vs Washington Nationals Picks and Predictions April 29th 2026
The New York Mets took advantage of their opportunities Tuesday night in an 8-0 win over the visiting Washington Nationals. The Mets turned six hits, five walks and two home runs into eight runs en route to only their third victory in the past 18 games. The Mets left just four runners on base Tuesday. Juan Soto hit a two-run homer to cap a seven-run fourth inning that sealed the win for New York, which has gone 3-15 in its past 18 games heading into a rematch with the Nationals on Wednesday night. “A lot of confidence in those guys,” said Mets starter Clay Holmes, who earned the win by tossing six innings of three-hit ball on Tuesday. “To see

Philadelphia Phillies vs San Francisco Giants Picks and Predictions April 29th 2026
After beginning the Don Mattingly era with a much-needed victory, the Philadelphia Phillies hope to ride the momentum into Wednesday night’s matchup with the visiting San Francisco Giants. Philadelphia entered Tuesday with a league-worst-tying 9-19 record, prompting the team to part ways with manager Rob Thomson. Mattingly was promoted from bench coach to replace Thomson on an interim basis — and the early results overwhelmingly were positive. Jesus Luzardo allowed just two hits over seven scoreless innings, while Trea Turner spurred the offense with four hits in the Phillies’ 7-0 victory over the Giants on Tuesday. Adolis Garcia drove in two runs, while Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm each added two hits and an RBI in the lopsided triumph. “It

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Toronto-raptors Picks and Predictions April 29th 2026
James Harden’s playoff history has a common theme throughout his 17-year career. Only Utah Jazz legends Karl Malone and John Stockton have appeared in more postseason games without winning an NBA championship. Harden’s shortcomings in the postseason are front and center as his Cleveland Cavaliers return home for Game 5 of their Eastern Conference first-round series against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night. Fifth-seeded Toronto tied the series at 2-2 with back-to-back victories in Canada, taking full advantage of Harden’s sloppy ballhandling and bad decision-making. Fourth seed Cleveland had won the first two contests rather decisively in its arena. “Games change fast and things happen in the playoffs,” Harden said Tuesday following practice at the team’s suburban training facility. “We
