There are pre-midnight UK time starts on Monday to Thursday inclusive this working week.

Monday’s game is the traditional early contest coinciding with the Boston Marathon, with the Blue Jays and Red Sox finishing off their four-game series. Boston are in early action again on Thursday and, if things stay on the current schedule, that should see David Price making a start against his former team the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Wednesday line-up includes a game from the first Cubs-Cardinals series of the 2016 season, whilst on Thursday currently Clayton Kershaw is due to be pitching for the Dodgers against the Braves. That could be something of a mis-match and an early start (17.10) could also lead to an early finish if Kershaw is on form.

All times are in BST.
