\"\"<\/a>There are pre-midnight MLB games on four days out of five this working week.<\/p>\n

We start the week with games involving New York teams, as the Mets start a rare two-game interleague visit to Minnesota with a day-game at Target Field on Monday and the Yankees stage a day-night double-header against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Mets head straight back to Citi Field to start a series against the Braves on Wednesday, one of five pre-midnight starts on that day.<\/p>\n

Thursday’s group of early games includes a host of quality starting pitchers led by the Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw, who has been in scintillating form of late.<\/p>\n

ESPN will broadcast four of the early games, as noted below, as well as several post-midnight encounters. It’s not brilliantly easy to find the ESPN (and BT Sport) schedules on their website but they are there under the ‘Watch Now<\/a>‘ heading.<\/p>\n
