New York Yankees (10-7) vs Tampa Rays (8-10)
I am not really sure how they are doing it but the New York Yankees are hanging in there despite missing several key members of their everyday lineup.

Washington Nationals 9-7 vs. N.Y. Mets 8-7
The Nationals fashion themsleves an elite team but after losing the series opener to the Mets are closer to the middle than the top of the National League East. They opened the series with Stephen Strasburg on the hill but the Mets weren’t shy in welcoming him to the Big Apple.
Arizona Diamondbacks (9-6) vs Colorado Rockies (11-4)
This is a big series for the Diamondbacks as they look to close ground on the surprising Rockies at the top of the division.
Detroit Tigers (8-5) vs Seattle Mariners (6-9)
Detroit is sitting at the top of a bunchy American League Central right now.
They won the opener of their series against Seattle last night pushing their road record to over .500 for the season.
San Diego Padres (3-1) vs Los Angeles Dodgers ( 7-6)
The Padres may have won yesterday to break their losing streak but they are still struggling greatly this season. They are already 6 games back in the standing of the N.L. West standings and will need more than just fire in their bellies to overcome.
Philadelphia Phillies (6-6) vs Cincinnati Reds (5-7)
The Phillies should be encouraged by the fact that they got a solid pitching performance from Roy Halladay yesterday. After taking two of three against the Marlins they are at .500 but still looking way up at the Braves in the National League East standings.
Los Angeles Dodgers (5-3) vs San Diego Padres (2-6)
The offense has been much less impressive as they have are the 4th worst team in the Majors in runs scored so far, a real disappointment given they were supposed to have a revamped lineup and the seeming return to form of OF Carl Crawford.
New York Yankees (4-4) vs Cleveland Indians (3-5)
The forecasted demise of the New York Yankees might have been a little premature. After yesterday’s drubbing of Cleveland they are at .500 and if lefty Andy Pettite continues to turn back the clock they may have something to say all season long.
New York Mets (4-2) vs Philadelphia Phillies (2-4)
The Mets have taken advantage of their schedule to get off to a nice start.
They are just behind the Braves in the National League East standings and if they can get another series win in Philadelphia they will really be pleased with themselves.
Philadelphia Phillies (0-2) vs Atlanta Braves (2-0)
The Phillies have not gotten off to a good start and are looking to salvage a game in this opening series against division rival Atlanta. Starter Roy Halladay gave a confounding performance yesterday, racking up the strikeouts while giving up the long ball.
MLB Betting – The Beauty of Overnight Lines
I want to take my pure MLB pick-maker hat off for a moment and exchange it for a betting advisor hat. A lot of bettors who read my picks wonder why I often (though not always) discuss MLB matchups a day or more in advance and not during game time — like when I make Sunday Night Baseball Picks.
