Arizona arrives at Oracle Park with the cleanest form in the National League West outside the division’s obvious heavyweight. The Diamondbacks are 30-24, winners of nine of their last 10, and they have already taken the first two games in San Francisco by 6-2 and 7-5. The Giants are sliding the other way at 26-29, […]

Widow’s Bay has evolved into a very specific pleasure: watching old New England rituals—historical societies, beach ceremonies, library events, awkward neighborhood parties—collapse into supernatural panic with the eerie formality of a town that has rehearsed disaster for generations. But the pleasure this past week, spiritually, belongs all to Keri Russell. Matthew Rhys—her dear husband—has always […]

The Athletics and Mariners hit Sutter Health Park with the division table tighter than either team probably wants. Oakland is 27-26, still holding the AL West lead despite a -7 run differential, and Seattle is 25-29, only 2.5 games back despite a season that has felt far messier than its pitching talent suggested.

Washington brings a better offensive résumé to Cleveland than the price might imply. The Nationals are 27-27, strong enough on the road at 17-11, and dangerous enough at the plate to make a heavy Guardians moneyline feel lazy at -180. They rank near the top of the league with a 108 wRC+, have already hit […]

Arizona arrives in San Francisco with the kind of momentum that makes a sub-.500 home team feel less comfortable than the line suggests. The Diamondbacks are 28-24, third in the NL West, and just finished a 6-1 homestand with a 9-1 thumping of Colorado that included 13 hits, seven extra-base hits, a 7-0 lead by […]

The Yankees reach Kauffman Stadium at 31-22, still sitting second in the AL East, but the last week has made the record feel less polished. New York snapped a three-game skid Sunday on Aaron Judge’s walk-off homer, a two-run shot that also ended his first HR and RBI drought since May 10. Before that swing, […]

The Cubs arrive at PNC Park at 29-24, with the record still respectable and the current mood far messier. Chicago has dropped eight straight and 12 of 14, turning a Memorial Day divisional opener into a reset spot against a 27-26 Pirates club trying to stay attached to the NL Central and Wild Card picture.
