Tampa Bay Rays at New York Yankees
The top two teams in the American League East meet up in the Big Apple this weekend. They’re also the only two teams in this division that have been playing over .500 ball for the first quarter of the season.
Heck, they’re also two of a handful of teams in the entire American League that have been playing winning baseball so far. Barring a major collapse, both the Rays and Yankees will at least each grab an AL wildcard invite. It’s all about the math. But there’s still a long way to go until October.

St. Louis Cardinals at Cincinnati Reds
On the other hand, the National League Central has shown itself to be the Group of Death so far in the 2026 MLB regular season. And this afternoon, the Reds and Cards hook up to do battle. St. Louis is in a dogfight with the Brewers and Cubs for the top spot in the division. Cincinnati isn’t that far behind, and neither are the Pirates.

Miami Marlins at Toronto Blue Jays
Their bats still cold, the Blue Jays welcome in the Miami Marlins on this final Monday in May. The Jays recently split a four-game series in the Bronx with the Yankees. Toronto is well back in the race for first in the AL East, but the two wildcard spots are still within reach. The Marlins reside in the NL East, where the Atlanta Braves are practically running away with the lead. And the NL wildcard spots are also way out in front of the Marlins. No doubt Marlins’ Man is not happy about this.

Atlanta Braves at Boston Red Sox
The powerhouse Braves return home. The franchise began life as the Boston Braves way back in 1871, and played out of Beantown for 81 years, before relocating to Milwaukee in time for the 1953 season. There, the likes of Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn, and Eddie Mathews lifted the Braves to a winning record for the dozen seasons they were based in Wisconsin. The Braves were on the move yet again to Atlanta to begin the 1963 season. And it’s these Braves that are running away with the National League East division. They face a Red Sox team that just fired pretty much its entire coaching staff last month. Has that helped much so far in the standings? No.
Wednesday, May 27th – 9:40 pm Eastern
Seattle Mariners at the Athletics
Talk about relocation; the Athletics began life in Philadelphia (1901-1954), moved to Kansas City (1955-1966), then Oakland (1967-2024), and are in the process of setting up shop in Las Vegas. But first, they’re based out of Sacramento. And these days in the American League West, a .500 record is good enough to land you smack dab in the middle of a pennant race. The Mariners are also in the thick of that tepid stew, which means this series is a rather big one for both clubs.
Thursday, May 28th – 6:35 pm Eastern
Toronto Blue Jays at Baltimore Orioles
Two underachieving American League East clubs meet up in Charm City, with the wildcard spots still within grasp. The old St. Louis Browns looked to be the Next Big Thing in the AL as recently as three seasons ago, when the O’s finished first in the division with a 101-61 record. But the last two campaigns didn’t go according to plan, with Baltimore slipping back each year, finishing 5th in the AL East in 2025 with a less-than-stellar 75-87 record. Baltimore last won the World Series in 1983.
Friday, May 29th – 8:05 pm Eastern
Kansas City Royals at Texas Rangers
The last-place team in the American League Central division takes on the second-place team in the American League West division. Their win-loss records aren’t that dissimilar, except that the Rangers reside in the mediocre AL West, where .500 makes you think you’re a pennant contender…because you are! So, who wants the AL West?
