We have a selection of fourteen MLB\u00c2\u00a0games beginning before midnight this working week.\u00c2\u00a0 They begin with a 16.05 start at Fenway on Monday and end with a Friday day-game from Wrigley Field, with plenty of good games scheduled in between.<\/p>\n
Monday 18 April<\/strong><\/p>\n 16.05. Toronto at Boston (Ricky Romero – Daisuke Matsuzaka) * ESPN America We start the working week with a very early game on Patriots Day and two pitchers who had extremely different outings in their most recent starts.\u00c2\u00a0 Ricky Romero pitched a complete game against the Mariners, although he was landed with the loss, while Matsuzaka was jumped on by the Rays and lasted just two innings.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n Twenty minutes before midnight, we have the start of a series between the White Sox and resurgent Rays.\u00c2\u00a0 All four games begin at the same time of the day, just making them fall into the ‘early’ bracket.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/p>\n Tuesday 19 April\u00c2\u00a0 Danks pitched brilliantly over eight innings last time out against the A’s, only for the White Sox bullpen to undo all his good work.\u00c2\u00a0 The lesson: pitch all nine innings and hope to get some offensive support.<\/p>\n Wednesday 20 April<\/strong><\/p>\n 18.05. Milwaukee at Philadelphia (Chris Narveson – Cliff Lee) We’ve got a good group of games to look forward to on Wednesday, led off by a Brewers-Phillies clash at Citizens Bank Park.\u00c2\u00a0 Cliff Lee bounced back from a rare bad outing against the Braves on 8 April by pitching a complete game shut-out against the Nationals last Thursday.\u00c2\u00a0His opposing number, Chris Narveson, has had a promising start to the season for Milwaukee.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Matt Cain has been in blistering form for the Giants so far this season and it should be a good pitching match-up in Oakland with Buchholz and Gonzalez .<\/p>\n Thursday 21 April<\/strong><\/p>\n 17.35. Arizona at Cincinnati (Dan Hudson – Mike Leake) We should have a European angle on Thursday\u00c2\u00a0if the Netherlands pitcher Jair Jurrjen’s rotation spot falls as expected.\u00c2\u00a0 Jurrjens v Kershaw would be an exciting contest if the schedule works out that way.\u00c2\u00a0 Meanwhile,\u00c2\u00a0Dan Hudson is 0-3 on the season but he has given\u00c2\u00a0the D-Backs\u00c2\u00a0a chance to win each time out.\u00c2\u00a0 He struck-out ten Giants over six innings\u00c2\u00a0in his most recent start and if he can keep showing an ability to miss bats, while getting some much-needed run support, he should soon start picking up some wins.<\/p>\n Friday 22 April\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 19.20.
