LA Angels at Minnesota 1:10 PM ET
Jake Odorizzi looks to win his sixth consecutive start when the Minnesota Twins host the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday for the finale of their three-game series. Odorizzi hasn't allowed a run in his last three outings and has given up just three over 31 1/3 innings during the winning streak.
Baltimore at NY Yankees 3:05 PM ET
Mother Nature hasn't been a friend of the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles, delaying the starts of their final games of their respective previous series before washing out the first two contests of this set in the Bronx. The American League East rivals look to squeeze in a single-admission doubleheader on Wednesday, with the weather forecast calling for clear skies.
Pittsburgh at Arizona 3:40 PM ET
The Arizona Diamondbacks may want to exercise caution Wednesday when facing the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates and first baseman Josh Bell in the rubber match of a three-game series. Bell blasted two home runs and extended his hitting streak to a career-high 14 games in Tuesday’s 6-2 victory as the Pirates snapped a nine-game losing streak against the Diamondbacks.
Toronto at San Francisco 3:45 PM ET
It took more than a dozen games, but the Toronto Blue Jays finally got a taste of what Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is capable of doing. The phenom hopes to build off his best performance in the major leagues when Toronto visits the San Francisco Giants for the finale of their two-game interleague series on Wednesday afternoon.
Baltimore at NY Yankees 6:35 PM ET
Mother Nature hasn't been a friend of the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles, delaying the starts of their final games of their respective previous series before washing out the first two contests of this set in the Bronx.

Chi. Cubs at Cincinnati 6:40 PM ET
Javier Baez looks to extend his hitting streak to 13 games and lead the Chicago Cubs to another series victory when they visit the Cincinnati Reds for the second contest of a three-game set Wednesday night. Baez has two hits in three consecutive games after Tuesday’s 3-1 victory and is a sizzling 19-for-50 during his streak while the Cubs can move to 10-0-1 in 11 series with a win in either of the final two contests.
NY Mets at Washington 7:05 PM ET
The New York Mets try for their season-high fourth straight victory when they visit the Washington Nationals on Wednesday in the middle contest of their three-game set. New York was never threatened in the series opener as Wilson Ramos belted a grand slam - after a botched double play allowed him to bat - in the first inning of its 6-2 victory Tuesday.
Milwaukee at Philadelphia 7:05 PM ET
Ryan Braun returned from a three-game absence due to a tight hamstring to once again put the squeeze on the Philadelphia Phillies. Braun will bid to power the visiting Milwaukee Brewers to back-to-back wins on Wednesday night in the third contest of the four-game series against the Phillies.
Colorado at Boston 7:10 PM ET
A two-game interleague series between the Colorado Rockies and Boston Red Sox features the four players with the most extra-base hits in the majors since 2015. Colorado's duo did its part in the series opener, negating a record-setting effort by Boston's pitching staff and putting the Rockies in position to complete a two-game sweep of the host Red Sox on Wednesday night.
Tampa Bay at Miami 7:10 PM ET
A visit to the worst team in the majors helped the Tampa Bay Rays get back on track and maintain their hold on first place in the American League East. After closing out a homestand by losing three of four, the Rays won the opener of a five-game road trip and will go for a sweep of a two-game interleague series when they face the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night.
Houston at Detroit 7:10 PM ET
The Houston Astros take aim at their second straight series sweep and an eighth consecutive win overall when they finish a three-game set at the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. Behind another big night for leadoff hitter George Springer, who had an inside-the-park home run and scored three times, the Astros rolled to an 11-4 win Tuesday night after taking the series opener 8-1.
St. Louis at Atlanta 7:20 PM ET
The St. Louis Cardinals struggled offensively while losing nine of 11 games, but hope to carry a breakout performance into Wednesday’s middle contest of a three-game series at the Atlanta Braves. St. Louis emphatically snapped out of its offensive doldrums in a 14-3 series-opening drubbing of the Braves on Tuesday, scoring 11 runs in the first five innings as three Cardinals slugged homers and outfielder Marcell Ozuna set the tone with a three-run, first-inning blast.
Texas at Kansas City 8:15 PM ET
Nicky Lopez provided Kansas City with a breath of fresh air in his major-league debut, and the Royals hope to continue their rebuilding process in positive fashion when they host the Texas Rangers on Wednesday for the second contest of their three-game series. The 24-year-old Lopez played second base in Tuesday's 11-5 victory and recorded a hit, and an RBI while scoring a run.
San Diego at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM ET
Cody Bellinger looks to continue his season-long assault on major-league pitchers when the Los Angeles Dodgers conclude their two-game series against the visiting San Diego Padres on Wednesday. Bellinger homered and drove in three runs in Tuesday's 6-3 victory to raise his major league-leading batting average to .409.
