\"\"<\/a>There’s a chance to catch some pre-midnight UK time baseball every day this working week.<\/p>\n

Whilst the Friday game, Mets-Phillies, isn’t a true early game (starting at 23.05), on all the other days there’s some good baseball to watch during the British evening.<\/p>\n

Monday’s early game is part of a double-header at SunTrust Park as the Braves host the Marlins, with the early game being a make-up date for a rain-out from the start of August. Touki Toussaint, one of Atlanta’s crop of promising young pitchers, is scheduled to make his Major League debut in this one.<\/p>\n

You don’t often see BT Sport showing two games from the same series back-to-back during the working week, but they’re doing that this week on Tuesday and Wednesday with the Brewers and Cubs.<\/p>\n

On Thursday evening there will be live baseball on two BT Sport channels, with the Rays-Yankees game on BT Sport2 being joined by coverage from the Little League World Series on BT Sport\/ESPN.<\/p>\n

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