MLB This Week: England Expects …

If you were hoping for an MLB game at the same time as England’s World Cup opener on Monday, either to avoid it or to give you something else to flick to if the nerves get too much, then unfortunately you’ll be disappointed.

We do have an early MLB game on Monday, and it’s a good one between the Yankees and Nationals, but it’s a 22.05 start. So, your baseball fix will have to serve the purpose of helping you celebrate, or cheering you up, depending on how England do against Tunisia and whether you’re an England fan or not.

Wednesday and Thursday evenings, as often is the case, offer the most choice for some live baseball at a convenient time this working week.

All times are in BST.
