Preview Roundups
August 12, 2020
Chi. White Sox at Detroit 1:10 PM ET
Matthew Boyd established himself as the Detroit Tigers' ace last season while finishing sixth in the American League with 238 strikeouts.
Arizona at Colorado 3:10 PM ET
Luke Weaver posted an ERA of 2.94 in 2019, so it might be a little surprising to see that the right-hander has struggled so far in 2020.
Oakland at LA Angels 4:10 PM ET
Griffin Canning will make the start for the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday afternoon when they play the Oakland A's in Anaheim, Calif., and if there is one hitter in the Oakland lineup Canning needs to be wary of, it's third baseman Matt Chapman.
Chi. Cubs at Cleveland 6:10 PM ET
Regardless of the uniqueness and obstacles associated with the condensed 2020 season, the Chicago Cubs are handling things pretty well.
Miami at Toronto 6:37 PM ET
The Toronto Blue Jays have a chance to sweep their two-game set against the visiting Miami Marlins Wednesday night in Buffalo, N.Y., their new home away from home.
Kansas City at Cincinnati 6:40 PM ET
The Cincinnati Reds are on pace to do something that has been done only twice in major league history, and do it fairly easily.
Atlanta at NY Yankees 7:05 PM ET
Aaron Judge hit his latest homer Tuesday and then quickly exited. Naturally, there were thoughts the New York Yankees slugger might be injured.
Baltimore at Philadelphia 7:05 PM ET
A three-game winning streak has the upstart Baltimore Orioles riding high, while an extremely generous bullpen has the Philadelphia Phillies down in the dumps.
Washington at NY Mets 7:10 PM ET
It took almost three weeks for Anibal Sanchez to get a chance to pitch every five days for the Washington Nationals. The New York Mets saw their starting-pitching depth evaporate much quicker than that.
Minnesota at Milwaukee 7:10 PM ET
The Minnesota Twins will turn to right-hander Kenta Maeda to try win the rubber game of their three-game series at Milwaukee on Wednesday night and end what has been a disappointing road trip on a high note.
San Francisco at Houston 7:10 PM ET
Even in victory on Monday, the Houston Astros looked shaky, particularly the back end of their bullpen.
Tampa Bay at Boston 7:30 PM ET
The Tampa Bay Rays will be seeking their fifth straight win when they meet the Red Sox Wednesday night in Boston.
Seattle at Texas 9:05 PM ET
It's an open and shut case.
San Diego at LA Dodgers 9:40 PM ET
For a brief moment last week, it appeared as if the San Diego Padres might not be ready for a 2020 breakthrough after all. Less than seven days later, and following two games at Los Angeles this week, that is not so much the case anymore.
