Preview Roundups
October 02, 2021
Tampa Bay at NY Yankees 1:05 PM ET
While the Tampa Bay Rays view this weekend as a rehearsal for what they hope is a deep postseason run, the New York Yankees are trying to secure their playoff spot as quickly as possible.
Baltimore at Toronto 3:07 PM ET
The Toronto Blue Jays face another vital game Saturday afternoon as they try to defeat the visiting Baltimore Orioles for a second straight day to maintain their postseason hopes.

The San Francisco Giants will get an opportunity to capture the National League West crown Saturday afternoon when they continue a three-game series against the visiting San Diego Padres.
Boston at Washington 4:05 PM ET
After improving their playoff prospects Friday night, the visiting Boston Red Sox will look to carry that momentum into their Saturday game against the Washington Nationals.
Philadelphia at Miami 6:10 PM ET
Bryce Harper, who has made 70 consecutive starts, may get a rest on Saturday night when his Philadelphia Phillies play the middle game of a season-ending three-contest series against the host Miami Marlins.
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh 6:35 PM ET
For teams such as the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds, who are playing a season-ending series this weekend in the Steel City with nothing on the line, it comes down to perhaps trying to find an extraordinary performance to liven things up.
Cleveland at Texas 7:05 PM ET
The Cleveland Indians, winners of two straight, need two more victories to avoid their first losing season since 2012. Their quest continues Saturday when they face the Texas Rangers in Arlington, Texas.

The White Sox didn't look like a division winner during a recent stretch in which they lost 10 of 17 games.
Minnesota at Kansas City 7:10 PM ET
The 2021 season was a disappointment for the Minnesota Twins. The two-time defending American League Central champs clinched last place in the division with an 11-6 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Friday night.
Oakland at Houston 7:10 PM ET
A case can be made that Houston left-hander Framber Valdez enjoyed the best season of any member of the Astros' rotation despite the fact that he missed 49 games with a left index finger fracture.
Chi. Cubs at St. Louis 7:15 PM ET
Starting pitcher Jon Lester will make one last start before the playoffs when the St. Louis Cardinals host the Chicago Cubs on Saturday.
NY Mets at Atlanta 7:15 PM ET
The Atlanta Braves will continue to give their starters time off now that they've clinched their spot in the postseason. On Saturday, when they host the New York Mets in the season's penultimate game, they'll take it a step farther and use a bullpen game.
Colorado at Arizona 8:10 PM ET
Often times there is nothing for which to play when two teams with losing records close the season against each other.
Milwaukee at LA Dodgers 9:10 PM ET
One day before the end of the 2021 regular season, a pair of pitchers will have one last chance to make their case for the National League Cy Young Award.

Entering their final series of the regular season, the Seattle Mariners had won 10 of their previous 11 games to stay in the American League's wild-card chase.
