The Giants and Diamondbacks get the getaway-day slot at Chase Field with Arizona trying to finish a sweep and San Francisco trying to stop another late-game bruise from becoming a full identity crisis. The D-backs are back above .500 at 24-23 after winning the first two games of the series in totally different registers: Monday’s […]

Chicago and Seattle close this series at T-Mobile Park with the standings looking almost inverted from the way the brands feel: the White Sox at 25-23, the Mariners at 23-27, and Chicago carrying the more interesting current identity into the finale. Tuesday sharpened the contrast. Seattle got 5 2/3 scoreless innings from Bryce Miller, scored […]

Widow’s Bay has found its rhythm now, and it hasn’t lost any bit of freshness for it. One local legend per week, one municipal disaster per legend, one reminder that Mayor Tom Loftis keeps trying to govern a place that operates like a cursed escape room designed by someone with a grudge against town politics.

Chopped Castaways already has a little mess on its hands, which is the whole point. The premiere sent Sunny Moody home after the Blue Team’s weakest dish put her and Logan Sandoval into the first Gauntlet, and Logan’s survival means Episode 2 starts with one chef already carrying bottom-two baggage back to camp.

Boston and Kansas City meet in a game the market is treating like a coin flip, which fits two clubs still trying to escape the same early-season muck. The Red Sox come in at 19-27 with a road profile that has offered very little margin, while the Royals sit at 20-27 and return home with […]

Milwaukee and Chicago get their first look at each other since last year’s NLDS, when the Brewers squeezed out a 3-2 series win and kept the Cubs sitting with that familiar October itch all winter. Now they arrive at Wrigley Field with the NL Central already humming: Chicago is 29-18, first in the division, 18-5 […]

Houston comes into Minnesota at 19-29, 7-15 on the road and still trying to keep an injury-thinned lineup from sinking a rotation that has already burned through too many emergency plans. The Twins are only 21-26 themselves, with a 13-13 home record that keeps the market honest, but this matchup gives them the cleaner offensive […]

Cincinnati and Philadelphia open this series at Citizens Bank Park with matching 24-23 records, a total already pushed to 10, and the kind of weather that turns routine contact into a problem. Philadelphia is playing in record-level heat, with the forecast still around 90 degrees into the early innings, while Fox’s matchup page has the […]

Baltimore arrives at Tropicana Field at 21-26, still trying to turn a talented roster into something less uneven, while Tampa Bay walks in at 30-15, first in the AL East and carrying the best record in the American League. The contrast is jarring because the Orioles still have the louder collection of names, but the […]
