It’s a relatively slow week for early MLB games to watch at a convenient time in the UK.

Still, the Padres-Giants and A’s-Tigers games, on Wednesday and Thursday respectively, are available to watch for free online at MLB.com (and are both on BT Sport/ESPN) and we’ve got an always-welcome Cubs home game on Friday.
