Philadelphia Phillies @ Toronto Blue Jays – 7.37PM ET

This Saturday night game will be the second of a three game mini series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Toronto Blue Jays. The first game was played on Friday night, where the Phillies drew first blood, winning 5-1.

The Philadelphia Phillies are doing alright this season so far, their current season record sits at 20-18. They have had a few decent wins as of late, and they won their previous mini series against the Nationals, 2-1. They are probably not scoring as many runs as they would like, currently averaging 4.1 runs per game, which places them in 19th in the league.


The Toronto Blue Jays are also having a decent start to their season, their season record currently sits at 20-16. They have had a good month so far in May, and they won their last mini series against the Braves, 3-0. 

The Blue Jays have an easier time scoring runs this season it seems, scoring an average of 4.92 runs per game, which places them in 6th in the league. We like the look of the Blue Jays to get revenge here, but it could really go either way.

Cincinnati Reds @ Colorado Rockies – 8.10PM ET

This Saturday night game will be the third of a four game mini series between the Cincinnati Reds and the Colorado Rockies. The first game was played on Thursday, where the Rockies drew first blood in a high scoring affair, winning 13-8. The second game was played on Friday, where the Rockies made it two from two in another high scoring affair, winning 9-6.

The Cincinnati Reds aren’t doing as well as they would have hoped this season so far, their current season record sits at 17-18.Their two previous games with the Rockies have been pretty significant losses, however in their previous mini series, they came out victorious against the Pirates, 2-1.

The Reds are on fire when it comes to runs scored per game, which is probably a bit surprising, currently averaging 5.3 runs per game, which places them in 2nd in the league.

The Colorado Rockies are also not doing as well as they would have hoped this season so far, their current season record sits at 14-24. They have had a good month so far in May, and they are currently on a three game winning streak, but lost their last mini series against the Padres, 2-1. 

The Rockies are also scoring fairly easily, scoring an average of 4.71 runs per game, which places them in 8th in the league. It looks like the Rockies are taking full advantage of their home ground, and have got two significant wins against the Reds. The Reds just can’t get things going, so back the Rockies here.

Washington Nationals @ Arizona Diamondbacks – 8.10PM ET

This Saturday night game will be the second of a three game mini series between the Washington Nationals and the Arizona Diamondbacks. The first game was played on Friday night, where there was complete and utter dominance from the Nationals, winning 17-2. 

The Washington Nationals aren’t doing as well as they would have hoped this season so far, their current season record sits at 15-19. The Nationals are a bit all over the shop at the moment, losing their previous two mini series’ against the Phillies and the Mets, both 2-1. 


They are probably not scoring as many runs as they would like, currently averaging 3.9 runs per game, which places them in 15th in the league, but the game on Friday certainly will help their average.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are also not doing as well as they would have hoped this season so far, their current season record sits at 17-22. The Diamondbacks are a bit all over the shop at the moment, tying their previous mini series with the Marlins, 2-2, but before that they were on a six game losing streak.

The Diamondbacks have an easier time scoring runs this season it seems, scoring an average of 4.76 runs per game, which places them in 7th in the league. Despite the horrible defeat just one day ago, the Diamondbacks are a team capable of winning, and we think they will bounce back on Saturday night.

MLB Pick – Arizona Diamondbacks (+106)

Cleveland Indians @ Seattle Mariners – 9.10PM ET

This Saturday night game will be the third of a four game mini series between the Cleveland Indians and the Seattle Mariners. The first game was played on Thursday, where the Rockies drew first blood, winning 4-2. The second game was played on Friday, where the Mariners managed to level things up, winning 7-3.

The Cleveland Indians are having a pretty good season so far, their current season record sits at 21-15.They won their previous mini series with the Cubs 2-0 and tied the mini series before that with the Reds, 1-1. The Indians could be doing better when it comes to runs scored per game, currently averaging 4.1 runs per game, which places them in 17th in the league.

The Seattle Mariners are having an alright start to the season, but could certainly be doing better, their current season record sits at 19-20. They have had a terrible go of it lately only winning three of their last ten games, including series losses to the Dodgers and the Rangers. 

Unsurprisingly, the Mariners are struggling to get wins as well as runs on the board, scoring an average of 3.92 runs per game, which places them in 23rd in the league. The series is now level, but the Indians are clearly the better team, and you can’t keep them down for long, so we like the look of them to bounce back and take the win on Saturday night.

Miami Marlins @ Los Angeles Dodgers – 9.10PM ET

This Saturday night game will be the second of a three game mini series between the Miami Marlins and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The first game was played on Friday night, where there was a bit of a tussle between the teams, with the Dodgers coming out on top, winning 9-6

The Miami Marlins aren’t doing as well as they would have hoped this season so far, their current season record sits at 17-21. The Marlins are a bit all over the shop at the moment, only winning two of their last seven games, including a series tie with the Diamondbacks, 2-2.  They are probably not scoring as many runs as they would like, currently averaging 4 runs per game, which puts them in the middle of the back in the league.


The Los Angeles Dodgers are doing as well as they would have hoped this season so far, their current season record sits at 21-17. The Dodgers have won four out of their last five, winning their previous series with the Mariners, 2-0, but losing the series before that against the Angels 2-1.

The Dodgers have an easier time scoring runs this season it seems, scoring an average of 5.05 runs per game, which places them in the top third in the league.The Dodgers are an iconic team and they keep proving this game after game, so we will back them again in this game to go two from two in this series.

MLB Pick – Los Angeles Dodgers (-320)

If it's sport, Katherine has got you covered. She doesn't discriminate, and loves all sport equally, from baseball to darts, if there's a competition going on, she is all over it. Her days are filled with watching as much sport, and reading as much as she can.The biggest problem Katherine faces is that she doesn't have enough screens for all the different games she wants to watch (oh and also the lack of sleep...but that doesn't count!). She loves sport so much, she made it her career and now she can do the things she loves day in and day out.
