\"\"<\/a>Monday is a holiday on both sides of the Atlantic and that means our Bank Holiday weekend is brought to a close by a bonanza of Memorial Day day-games.<\/p>\n

There are some enticing match-ups within them, not least the start of the Astros-Yankees series and the Cardinals-Brewers series. The former is on BT Sport\/ESPN and is available for all to watch for free on MLB.com<\/p>\n

The Mets and Braves have a double-header on Monday and the opener should see Jacob deGrom on the mound, although likely won’t see the Ronald Acuna in the batter’s box after he came out of the Braves’ game yesterday with a worrisome knee injury.<\/p>\n

Later in the week, BT Sport will be broadcasting the Blue Jays-Red Sox came on Wednesday and the Rays-A’s game on Thursday, whilst the Facebook exclusive game on Wednesday is Cardinals-Brewers.<\/p>\n

The price of MLB.TV annual subscription has been reduced for the first time this season (it’s always promoted as a discount, but essentially it means you’re paying less because it covers less of the season) so is now available for $70, which works out at approximately \u00c2\u00a384 when adding on VAT.<\/p>\n

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