Baltimore is leading the AL East. This team doesn't have many weaknesses. Still, an offensive that is averaging 5.29 runs per game has been the most astounding aspect.

Reid Detmers, the starting pitcher for Los Angeles, has given up nine runs and fifteen hits in just 12 innings across his last two starts.

Although Winn has had a strong season so far, he will face difficulties in game two due to a lack of run assistance. On Saturday, the Phillies will overcome a Giants squad that has had trouble at the plate to maintain their winning ways.

Since joining the Braves rotation again, Elder hasn't been great; he gave up eight hits in his first start and walked four in his second. After the All-Star break last season, he struggled and had an 8.25 ERA.

Arrighetti might not be well-known, but in his most recent start, he struck out seven Cubs in 3.2 innings. He'll be focused on assaulting a Guardians lineup in his second home game in an attempt to win his first professional victory.

Mitchell Parker, a rookie for Washington, has limited his first three opponents to fewer than three runs, suggesting he could be around for a long time in the league.

Crawford has only thrown 27 innings and has a 0.66 ERA, while Imanaga is 3-0 with a 0.84 ERA. There won't be an advantage on the mound because these two are playing at a high level.

The Cardinals have lost three of their last five road games. They have struggled offensively and scored only nine runs in their last four road games. Their offensive struggles will continue in this game

Trevor Williams, the starting pitcher for the Washington Nationals, has had a great start to the season, giving up just seven earned runs in 21 ⅔ innings thrown. Washington has won three of the four games.

The Dodgers have 25-year-old pitcher Gavin Stone, but he hasn't yet established a rhythm. It was Stone's only road game, and the Cubs hammered him in Chicago. Stone has a 6.00 ERA.

After winning eight of their previous ten games, Baltimore enters this series with a ton of momentum and a free Thursday. Stripling hasn't experienced a significant league victory since 2022 and has lost all five of his outings this season.

As the Red Sox look to replace the injured Pivetta, at least temporarily, Criswell is making his season debut. Boston looks to bounce back from their Orioles sweep after taking two of three last weekend in Anaheim.

Despite his outstanding performance in his first two outings, Imanaga is still a rookie in the major leagues against a Mariners squad that is looking for an offensive breakthrough after a poor start.

San Diego ranks bottom in hard-hit %, while Los Angeles ranks eleventh, indicating that the Padres might be hitting it fortunate at the moment. Anticipate a dominant Dodgers team that wins this one at home by a large margin.
