Atlanta Braves vs Detroit Tigers Picks and Predictions April 30th 2026
The Braves will look for their 11th straight win against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday afternoon when the teams play the finale of a three-game series in Atlanta. Matt Olson and the Braves gut-punched the Tigers on Wednesday when the first baseman crushed a two-run walk-off homer in the ninth inning. Detroit hasn't beaten Atlanta since June 12, 2023. "When you have good years, you tend to have games like that," Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said. "You look back and there's always 10 or 12 games you won that you necessarily shouldn't have. And we've had a few of those already. That's a good sign." Atlanta owns a major-league-best 22-9 mark, its best start in 26 years. The Braves have

Baltimore Orioles vs Houston Astros Picks and Predictions April 30th 2026
After quite a bit of idle time this week, the Houston Astros and Baltimore Orioles are in store for a busy day of baseball when they meet for Thursday's doubleheader at Camden Yards. Wednesday night's game was postponed because of weather concerns. So that means that each team has played just one game since Sunday afternoon. That game was won by Baltimore with Tuesday night's 5-3 decision. The Astros, who are 3-8 in their last 11 games, would like to see outfielder Brice Matthews build off that game when he produced three hits, including a home run. "I feel like I could do that each and every night, but baseball, it's not going to go your way each and every

Oakland Athletics vs Kansas City Royals Picks and Predictions April 29th 2026
The power bat of star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. was missing in action for the first 27 games of the Kansas City Royals' season. But suddenly, Witt has homered in back-to-back games, and he'll look to continue the streak Wednesday night when the Royals visit the Athletics in West Sacramento, Calif. Witt delivered a tie-breaking, three-run blast in the top of the 10th inning as the Royals beat the A's 4-1 in Tuesday's opener of the three-game series. He went the opposite way, and the blast barely cleared the short wall in right center to help Kansas City win its season-best fourth straight game. "Just trying to piece it at-bat by at-bat and day-by-day and just trying to enjoy every

Milwaukee Brewers vs Arizona Diamondbacks Picks and Predictions April 29th 2026
The Arizona Diamondbacks will look for left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez to continue his road success on Wednesday night when the team continues its three-game series the Milwaukee Brewers. Rodriguez (2-0, 2.89 ERA) will oppose Milwaukee right-hander Brandon Sproat (0-1, 6.45). The Brewers pounded out 15 hits and capitalized on six walks for a 13-2 victory in the series opener on Tuesday night. Sal Frelick jump-started Milwaukee's offense with a leadoff homer in the second, snapping the team's seven-game homerless streak. Milwaukee broke the game open with eight runs in the sixth inning, on eight hits -- including two bunt singles -- a walk and catcher's interference. "That's being relentless," Brewers manager Pat Murphy said afterward. "You give up two and then

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
