Pittsburgh Pirates @ Miami Marlins – 6:40PM ET

The Pittsburgh Pirates and Miami Marlins will be playing the second game of their four game series in this one. After winning game one the Pirates will be looking to clinch at least a share of this series here in game number two. 

Tony Battalio

The Pittsburgh Pirates got a huge win on Monday in their series opener against the Miami Marlins. They will now be looking to grab at least a share of the series in this one. The Pirates come into this game with a record of 37-50 through their first 87 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. The Pirates have won six out of their last ten games on the year and are currently on a three game winning streak coming into game two. 

The Miami Marlins will be looking to bounce back in game one of this series. They are in the middle of an underwhelming season as they come into this game with a record of 41-44 through their first 85 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. The Marlins have won six out of their last ten games on the year but they have lost one game in a row as well. I have the Pirates winning this game.

The Miami Marlins are fourth in the NL East with a 41-44 record. They have lost 4 of the last 6 games including the series opener against the Pirates. Miami is ranked 19th in the league scoring 4.36 runs per game and 14th in the league allowing 4.28 runs per game. Daniel Castano will start for the Marlins tonight who is 1-2 for the season with a 3.60 ERA. Miami has won 10 of the last 17 home games and 6 of the last 10 second games of a series.

The Pirates are 28th in the league scoring 3.78 runs per game and 26th allowing 5.32 runs per game. They will start Chris Sttraton tonight who is 5-4 for the season with a 5.14 ERA.

Seattle Mariners @ Washington Nationals – 7:05PM ET

The Seattle Mariners and Washington Nationals will be playing the first game of their two game series in this one. This is the first of two times these two inter league teams will meet this season. As they will play again next month as well. 

Tony Battalio

The Seattle Mariners are having a solid season but that is to be expected after the way they played down the stretch last season. They come into this game with a record of 45-42 through their first 87 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. They are rolling at the moment as they have won eight in a row and nine out of their last ten on the year. They have climbed all the way into second place of the American League West division at the moment. 

The Washington Nationals are coming into this game and series in the middle of an absolutely terrible season. They currently sit in last place of the National League East division as they have a record of 30-58 through their first 88 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. They are currently on a four game losing streak and have lost nine out of their last ten games on the season. They are currently 28 games under the .500 mark at the moment. 

Marko Nadin

The Washington Nationals are at the bottom of the NL East with a 30-58 record. They lost 10 of the last 11 games and are coming off a 0-3 series loss to the Atlanta Braves. The Nationals are 27th in the league scoring 3.97 runs per game and are 30th in the league allowing 5.62 runs per game. Washington will start Josiah Gray tonight who is 7-5 for the season with a 4.14 ERA. The Nationals have won 7 of the last 9 interleague home games against right-handed starters and have lost 36 of the last 52 games following a loss.

The Seattle Mariners are second in the AL West with a 45-42 record. They have won the last 8 games and are coming off a 4-0 series sweep against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Mariners are 24th in the league scoring 4.13 runs per game and 4th in the league allowing 3.87 runs per game. Seattle will start Chris Flexen tonight who is 5-8 for the season with a 4.00 ERA.

Cincinnati Reds @ New York Yankees – 7:05PM ET

The Cincinnati Reds and New York Yankees will be playing the first game of their three game series in this one. This is the first and only time these two teams will meet during the 2022 Major League Baseball season. 

Tony Battalio

The Cincinnati Reds aren’t having the best year at the moment but they are coming off of a series win over the Tampa Bay Rays. They still remain in last place of the National League Central division as they have a record of 32-54 through their first 86 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. They have won six out of their last ten games on the season and are currently on a four game winning streak at the moment. They will be looking to use the momentum from the Rays series win to get a couple wins over the Yankees. 

The New York Yankees have been the best team in Major League Baseball all season long as they come into this game with a record of 61-25 through their first 86 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. They have lost five out of their last ten games on the year and currently find themselves on a two game losing streak which is very rare for them this season. However, I look for them to bounce back in game one of this series. 

Marko Nadin

The New York Yankees are on top of the AL East with a 61-25 record. They have won 3 of the last 5 games and are coming off a 2-2 series tie with the Boston Red Sox. The Yankees are on top of the league scoring 5.25 runs per game and are allowing a league low 3.18 runs per game. The Yankees will start Gerrit Cole tonight who is 8-2 for the season with a 3.26 ERA. They have won the last 5 interleague home games against a team with a losing record and 11 of the last 13 interleague games against right-handed starters.

The Cincinnati Reds are at the bottom of the NL Central with a 32-54 record. They have won the last four games and are coming off a 3-0 series sweep against the Tampa Bay Rays. Cincinnati is 17th in the league scoring 4.38 runs per game and is ranked 29th in the league allowing 5.53 runs per game. The Reds will start Graham Aschraft tonight who is 4-2 for the season with a 4.35 ERA. Cincinnati has won the last 4 interleague games against a team with a winning record and 5 of the last 7 games when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game.

Philadelphia Phillies @ Toronto Blue Jays – 7:07PM ET

The Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays will be playing the first game of their short two game series in this one. This is the first of two times these two inter league teams will meet this season. As they will play again later this season as well.

Tony Battalio

The Philadelphia Phillies are coming into this game with a record of 46-41 through their first 87 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. They are eight games back of the New York Mets in the National League East division. They have won six out of their last ten games on the year but currently find themselves on a two game losing streak. They will be looking to keep crawling their way back into the playoff race over the next few weeks.

The Toronto Blue Jays are coming into this game with a record of 45-42 through their first 87 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. They are in a slump at the moment as they have lost four straight games and have lost nine out of their last ten on the year. They are currently in fourth place of the American League East division at the moment. I have them picking up the win in game one of this series. 

Marko Nadin

The Toronto Blue Jays are fourth in the AL East with a 45-42 record. They have lost 9 of the last 10 games and are coming off a 0-4 series loss to the Seattle Mariners. The Blue Jays are 9th in the league scoring 4.63 runs per game and are ranked 21st with 4.53 allowed runs per game. Toronto will start Jose Berrios tonight who is 6-4 for the season with a 5.44 ERA.

Boston Red Sox @ Tampa Bay Rays – 7:20PM ET

The Boston Red and Tampa Bay Rays will be playing the second game of their four game series in this one. After winning game one the Rays will be looking to clinch at least a share of this series here in game number two.

The Boston Red Sox are coming into this game with a record of 47-40 through their first 87 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. They are in second place of the American League East division at the moment as they trail the New York Yankees by fourteen and a half games.
