We’ve got 10 MLB games starting before midnight UK time this working week.
All three games of the inter-league series between the Cardinals and Indians are early starts (albeit the first two only come in under the pre-midnight line by fifty minutes). Reigning Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber is still seeking his first win of the season and he’s set to start for Cleveland on Wednesday, whilst St. Louis’ Michael Wacha has a 5-0 record going into his start on Thursday.
In other games, Sonny Gray has been one of the few Oakland players performing consistently well and he’ll look to continue his good form in a home start against the Red Sox on Wednesday.
David Price limped out of his most recent start after stepping on a bat whilst backing up home plate; however the current position is that he will be good to go for his next scheduled Tigers appearance on Thursday. (UPDATE: Unfortunately that has now changed, with Price being given a couple of extra days of rest. Anibal Sanchez will start in his place).
All times are in BST.
