They send Ryne Nelson (1–1, 4.20 ERA) to face a Baltimore squad (8–7) that has been powered by elite young talent early on.

Chicago (C) vs. Philadelphia

Two franchises sitting at 7–8 meet in a battle of early-season attrition.

The Philadelphia team counters with Cristopher Sánchez, a left-hander whose strikeout-to-walk ratio is currently among the best in the National League. This matchup pits the Philadelphia pitching staff's high-velocity approach against a Chicago lineup that leads the league in pitches seen per plate appearance.

New York (R) vs. Florida

This is a heavyweight Eastern Conference clash with major seeding implications.

Statistically, this is a "strength-on-strength" matchup: Dallas’s top-five penalty kill unit will be tested by Toronto’s top-ranked power play.
