The New York Yankees are on fire at the plate and will be licking their chops against struggling veteran Ubaldo Jimenez and the sliding Baltimore Orioles when the teams complete a four-game series at Yankee Stadium on Sunday. The Yankees have taken the first three games of the set by a combined score of 30-10, hammering three home runs in Saturday's 9-3 win to stay within three games of first-place Boston in the American League East.

New York, which has won 11 of its last 14, has scored 150 runs in 18 games against Baltimore this season, a record for one team against another since expansion in 1961. Didi Gregorius has two homers and seven RBIs in the last two games for the Yankees while Chase Headley is hitting .364 during a season-high 14-game hitting streak. While New York is solidifying its position atop the wild-card race, the Orioles have virtually dropped out of contention with losses in nine of their last 10 games. Jimenez, who has given up 12 runs in 7 2/3 innings over two starts against the Yankees this year, opposes Sonny Gray in the finale.

TV: 1:05 p.m. ET, MASN (Baltimore), YES (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Orioles RH Ubaldo Jimenez (5-10, 6.75 ERA) vs. Yankees RH Sonny Gray (9-10, 3.17)

Jimenez has not produced a quality start since July 31, giving up three runs in five innings at Toronto his last time out. The 33-year-old is 0-3 with a 9.27 ERA over his last five starts, with one scoreless inning of relief against the Yankees sprinkled into the difficult stretch. He has been knocked around by several New York regulars, including Matt Holliday (6-for-16, one home run), Jacoby Ellsbury (7-for-20, one home run), Brett Gardner (8-for-23, two home runs) and Gregorius (4-for-10).

Gray is 1-2 in three September starts despite posting a 2.61 ERA and striking out 23 batters against four walks. Home runs have been an issue, however, as the Vanderbilt product has served up five long balls this month after allowing three over his previous 10 starts. Gray kept the ball in the park and limited the Orioles to one unearned run in 5 2/3 innings at Baltimore on Sept. 7.

WALK-OFFS

1. Yankees 3B Todd Frazier also went deep Saturday and has four home runs and 12 RBIs over his last nine games.

2. Baltimore has been held to three runs or fewer nine times during its 1-9 stretch.

3. Gray took the spot of CC Sabathia, whose start was bumped to Tuesday in order to allow him to avoid pitching on the turf in Toronto next weekend.

PREDICTION: Yankees 9, Orioles 2

Sep 16, 2017

The Boston Red Sox had enough in the tank after their marathon win on Friday night to survive on Saturday, thanks to Mookie Betts. The Red Sox's star will try to lead his team to a series sweep when they visit the Tampa Bay Rays in the finale of a three-game set on Sunday.

Boston needed 15 innings on Friday to secure a 13-6 win and only had enough energy to muster seven hits on Saturday, but Betts delivered a solo homer and an RBI single among those hits and the Red Sox scratched out a 3-1 win to stay three games ahead of the New York Yankees in the American League East. Betts recorded multiple hits in three of his last five games and owns three home runs in that span, pushing his season total to 22 blasts. The Rays are trying to play spoiler but are just 2-6 in their last eight games - all against Boston and New York. Tampa Bay will try to avoid a fourth consecutive setback when it sends Jake Odorizzi to the mound on Sunday opposite Red Sox lefty Eduardo Rodriguez.

TV: 1:10 p.m. ET, NESN (Boston), FSN Sun (Tampa Bay)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox LH Eduardo Rodriguez (5-5, 4.19 ERA) vs. Rays RH Jake Odorizzi (8-8, 4.52)

Rodriguez is coming off back-to-back strong starts and held the Oakland Athletics to one run on as many hits and four walks over six innings on Tuesday. The Venezuela native matched a season high with nine strikeouts against the A's and notched 17 K's in 12 innings over his last two outings. Rodriguez is seeing Tampa Bay for the first time this season and is just 0-1 with a 7.58 ERA in four career starts against the division rivals.

Odorizzi could not make it out of the fourth inning against the New York Yankees on Monday, when he was charged with five runs - one earned - on three hits and three walks in 3 2/3 innings. The 27-year-old completed six innings in only two of his last eight outings. Odorizzi last saw Boston at home on Aug. 9 and suffered the loss while surrendering two runs - one earned - in four innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Red Sox DH Hanley Ramirez (shoulder) sat out the last three games and is day-to-day.

2. Tampa Bay RF Steven Souza Jr. is 1-for-31 with 17 strikeouts in his last nine games.

3. Boston C Christian Vazquez is 10-for-21 in his last six contests, raising his batting average to .301.

Sep 16, 2017

The Cincinnati Reds haven't been a part of the National League Central race since early in the first half, but they may have found some motivation down the stretch. The Reds will try to pull off a three-game sweep and move one game closer to getting out of the NL Central basement when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.

Cincinnati (65-84) is just three games behind the Pirates (68-81), who are fading fast with losses in four straight and nine of their last 10. Offense is the big problem for Pittsburgh, which failed to score against rookie Sal Romano through eight innings on Saturday and ended up with a 2-1 loss - the 13th straight loss in which it scored three or fewer runs. The Reds aren't lighting up the scoreboard either, but they can find the power when necessary and own five solo home runs among their six runs scored so far in the series. Pirates ace Gerrit Cole already surrendered 28 home runs this season and gets the call in the finale against Cincinnati right-hander Robert Stephenson.

TV: 1:10 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet-Pittsburgh, FSN Ohio (Cincinnati)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Gerrit Cole (11-10, 4.04 ERA) vs. Reds RH Robert Stephenson (4-5, 5.45)

Cole can't seem to find any consistency of late and sandwiched two scoreless outings around three starts in which he surrendered five runs over his last five turns. The former No. 1 overall pick scattered two hits over eight scoreless innings against the Chicago Cubs on Sep. 6 but was ripped for five runs on seven hits in six innings at Milwaukee on Tuesday. Cole showed off that inconsistency in back-to-back starts against the Reds, tossing seven scoreless frames on Aug. 26 before yielding five runs in six innings on Sep. 1.

Stephenson had a string of four consecutive wins come to an end at St. Louis on Tuesday, when he was reached for six runs - four earned - on five hits and three walks. Walks are a problem for the 24-year-old, who issued 18 free passes in 25 2/3 innings over his last five turns. Stephenson walked four against Pittsburgh on Aug. 25 but struck out 11 in 5 2/3 innings and allowed two runs while earning a win.

WALK-OFFS

1. Pirates LF Starling Marte (finger, shoulder) sat out Saturday and is day-to-day.

2. Cincinnati 3B Eugenio Suarez is 1-for-10 with seven strikeouts in his last three contests.

3. Pittsburgh CF Andrew McCutchen homered in three of the last five games.

The Chicago White Sox took a big risk last winter by sending away ace Chris Sale in exchange for a package of prospects, and that risk is beginning to reap rewards. Budding star Yoan Moncada will try to guide the White Sox to a series win when they visit the Detroit Tigers on Sunday.

Moncada was the centerpiece of the deal coming over from the Boston Red Sox and struggled after being recalled but is starting to show the form that once made him the top prospect in baseball. Moncada is 13-for-29 with six RBIs in the last six games to raise his batting average from .182 to .233 and is 7-for-15 with two homers and seven runs scored in the first three games against the Tigers. Detroit (61-87) dropped 13 of its last 16 games and allowed a total of 27 runs in its two losses to Chicago this weekend. Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd will try to stop the bleeding when he goes up against White Sox right-hander Dylan Covey on Sunday.

TV: 1:10 p.m. ET, WGN (Chicago), FSN Detroit

PITCHING MATCHUP: White Sox RH Dylan Covey (0-5, 7.90 ERA) vs. Tigers LH Matthew Boyd (5-10, 5.75)

Covey was great after the first inning at Kansas City on Tuesday, when he surrendered a first-inning grand slam but limited the damage to just those four runs and two hits in 5 2/3 innings. The rookie California native runs into trouble with the long ball and yielded 18 home runs in 54 2/3 innings this season. Covey is seeing the Tigers for the first time in his career and owns a 9.32 ERA on the road.

Boyd is looking for his first win since July 29 and wants a little help from his offense after coming up on the wrong end of a shutout on Tuesday. The 26-year-old allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out five but suffered the loss at Cleveland. Boyd was not as strong at Chicago on Aug. 27, when he was knocked around for five runs and seven hits in six frames.

WALK-OFFS

1. Tigers 1B Miguel Cabrera (back tightness) left Saturday's game and is day-to-day.

2. Chicago SS Tim Anderson set a career high with four hits on Saturday and is 19-for-39 over the last eight contests.

3. Detroit RHP Michael Fulmer underwent successful elbow surgery and expects to be ready for spring training.

Henderson Alvarez finishes a long road back to the majors when he makes his debut for the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday in the finale of a three-game series with the visiting Oakland Athletics. An All-Star with Miami in 2014, Alvarez made four starts in 2015 and missed all of last year while recovering from a pair of shoulder surgeries.

"It's been tough, but I've been able to keep my head up," Alvarez told reporters. "I've been working hard, and it has finally paid off. I wanted to show everyone that my shoulder was OK, that all my body was in good condition, so to be back here is unbelievable." The 27-year-old will be facing the team for whom he made 11 appearances in the minors last year. The Athletics blanked the Phillies 4-0 in the series opener before losing an early two-run lead in a 5-3 setback Saturday night. Philadelphia phenom Rhys Hoskins was held hitless in three at-bats for the second straight game after clubbing six home runs in a six-game stretch.

TV: 1:35 p.m. ET, NBCSN California (Oakland), CSN Philadelphia

PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics LH Sean Manaea (10-10, 4.65 ERA) vs. Phillies RH Henderson Alvarez (NR)

After spinning six scoreless innings two turns ago, Manaea was lit up at Fenway Park on Tuesday. He allowed a season-high seven runs and a career high-tying 11 hits in 3 2/3 innings of an 11-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox. The 25-year-old is 6-13 with a 5.03 ERA in 25 career road starts.

Alvarez won 12 games and posted a 2.65 ERA with the Marlins in 2014, but was 0-4 with a 6.45 mark the following season before the physical issues took over. He made seven starts with Long Island of the independent Atlantic League this year and then was solid through three outings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley upon signing with the Phillies. The Venezuela native has allowed five earned runs in 19 2/3 innings in his career at Citizens Bank Park.

WALK-OFFS

1. Phillies C Jorge Alfaro has homered in consecutive games and owns four RBIs over his last three contests.

2. Athletics LF Khris Davis, who ranks second in the American League with 39 home runs, has missed the last three games to be with family following the birth of his first child.

3. Oakland is the first AL team to lose 50 road games.

Asdrubal Cabrera may not be a member of the New York Mets next season, but the veteran infielder continues to bolster his value as a potential free agent heading into Sunday’s series finale at the Atlanta Braves. The Mets hold a team option for the 31-year-old Cabrera for 2018 and may not exercise it as several infielders could return from injury, but he started Saturday’s 7-3 victory leading the majors in batting average in September (.455) and pushed his hitting streak to 10 games.

New York snapped a five-game losing streak and improved to 6-3 against the Braves in the inaugural season of Atlanta’s new stadium, SunTrust Park. The Braves (67-80) lost for only the third time in their past 10 games but sit one win shy of matching last season’s total of 68 victories. First baseman Freddie Freeman recorded two hits in Saturday’s defeat, including his 27th homer of the season, raising his career average against the Mets to .314 in 117 games with 20 homers. The Braves played without left fielder Matt Kemp, who left Friday’s game with left hamstring tightness, while New York’s Travis d’Arnaud and Amed Rosario both returned Saturday after missing the series opener.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Robert Gsellman (6-7, 5.58 ERA) vs. Braves RH Julio Teheran (11-11, 4.57)

Gsellman has pitched well at times since returning from a minor-league rehab assignment in August, posting a 3.86 ERA in five appearances after having a 6.16 ERA when he injured his left hamstring in late June. The 24-year-old lost Tuesday to the Chicago Cubs, allowing four runs on five hits in four innings with five walks. Gsellman has made four appearances (three starts) versus the Braves in 2017, going 2-1 despite surrendering 11 runs (10 earned) on 21 hits in 16 2/3 innings.

Teheran has rediscovered his command a bit in his past four starts, going 4-0 with eight walks, 20 strikeouts and a 2.08 ERA in 26 innings. The 26-year-old continues to improve on his home numbers after an awful start to the season, carrying a 6.47 home ERA through 15 starts at SunTrust Park into Sunday. Teheran is 1-1 with a 3.33 ERA in four starts versus the Mets in 2017 and 8-4 with a 2.56 ERA in 19 career appearances (18 starts) against them.

WALK-OFFS

1. New York rookie 2B Gavin Cecchini recorded a career-high three hits Saturday, driving home two runs.

2. The Mets, who began Saturday leading the National League with 211 homers – seven shy of their franchise record – have not homered so far in the series.

3. Braves 2B Ozzie Albies finished 0-for-3 Saturday, ending his hitting streak at 13 games.

Preview: Mariners at Astros

Sep 16, 2017

Justin Verlander is off to a fast start with his new club and hopes to make a good first impression on the home crowd Sunday as the Houston Astros host the Seattle Mariners. Verlander, acquired from the Detroit Tigers on Aug. 31, is 2-0 with a 0.64 ERA in two starts since joining the Astros, who are on the verge of winning their first division title since 2001.

Houston reduced its magic number to win the American League West to one with an 8-6 victory over Seattle on Saturday. Astros second baseman Jose Altuve continued his bid to win the AL MVP award by going 2-for-4 with two runs scored, raising his major league-leading average to .348 as he bids for his third AL batting title in four years. The Mariners' playoff hopes are flickering as they remained 3 1/2 games behind the Minnesota Twins for the AL's second wild card spot. Seattle gives the ball to rookie Andrew Moore, who has recorded two straight quality outings - both resulting in no-decisions, including one against Houston - since being recalled from Triple-A Tacoma.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mariners RH Andrew Moore (1-3, 5.36 ERA) vs. Astros RH Justin Verlander (12-8, 3.58)

Moore allowed only one hit - a solo home run to Delino DeShields - in six relief innings of Seattle's 5-3 loss in Texas on Monday. The 23-year-old Oregon native, who took the spot of the ineffective Ariel Miranda in the rotation, yielded two runs, three hits and two walks while striking out three in the Mariners' 5-3 setback against Houston on Sept. 6. Moore is 1-3 with a 5.27 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in seven career starts - all this season.

Verlander permitted one hit and one walk while striking out nine in eight innings of a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday after allowing a run, six hits and a walk with seven strikeouts across six innings of a 3-1 victory versus Seattle. The 34-year-old Virginia native is 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA in three turns versus the Mariners this season, and 11-8, 3.09 in 23 career starts. Robinson Cano is batting .283 with nine strikeouts in 53 at-bats versus Verlander while Nelson Cruz is 10-for-40 with seven strikeouts against him.

WALK-OFFS

1. Miranda (7-4, 4.15 ERA in 18 starts before the All-Star break, 1-3, 6.33 in 11 turns after) made his first relief appearance of the season Saturday, striking out one in a scoreless sixth inning.

2. Astros DH Carlos Beltran recorded his 1,078th extra-base hit - a double - Saturday to move into a tie for 24th all-time with Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr.

3. Seattle RF Mitch Haniger (.277, 13 home runs, 42 RBIs) continued his torrid September by going 2-for-4 with a home run Saturday, giving him a .391 average with four home runs and nine RBIs this month.

PREDICTION: Astros 3, Mariners 2
