There are early games on four out of five days this working week.

The Giants and Mets get things started on Monday with the finale of their four-game series.

After a gap on Tuesday we then have four early games on Wednesday, including a match-up between the Rays and A’s from the O.Co Coliseum that will be shown live on BT Sport1.

Thursday’s games take us into the heart of some playoff place battles as the Yankees host the Tigers and the Brewers host the Giants, with recent recruit Jake Peavy scheduled to start for San Francisco.  Then on Friday the Rays are in day-game action again thanks to an Interleague trip to Wrigley Field.

All times are in BST.
