\"CovMLBUK2014\"<\/a>It’s been an exciting World Cup so far, yet England’s early exit may make baseball fans keen to find a diversion to their final group game on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately MLB doesn’t offer any live contests that evening, but there are eight MLB games this working week scheduled to start before midnight U.K. time.<\/p>\n

Wednesday is the most promising day with four games and several big-name pitchers: Tampa Bay’s David Price, Washington’s Stephen Strasburg and San Francisco’s Tim Lincecum.<\/p>\n

For the second week in a row we have a Friday game from Wrigley Field that starts at 21.05 our time (15.05 locally), which is the best part of a couple of hours later than day-games normally start in Chicago (typically they’re 19.20., or 13.20 locally).<\/p>\n

All times are in BST.<\/p>\n
