Mets looked great last night but tonight they face the Cubs ace Jake Arrieta, Even though Arrieta has had an amazing season, Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard is as good as anyone pitching. So this one will be fun! Chicago Cubs Jake Arrieta 1...

Toronto is trailing one to nothing so they turn to ace David Price for game two in Kansas City. Toronto Blue Jays: David Price 1. Ben Revere (L) LF 2. Josh Donaldson (R) 3B 3. Jose Bautista (R) RF 4. Edwin Encarnacion (R) DH 5...

The Mets are facing the Dodgers tonight in a winner take all game 5 in LA. So in a perfect world the Mets would see starter Jacob deGrom pitch 8 innings and hand the ball to closer  Jeurys Familia with a lead in the 9th. Zack Grienke and the Dodgers won't make it easy on the Mets tonight as Grienke is also one of the best pitchers in the game...

The Kansas City Royals were already good when they added Johnny Cueto, now he's taking the ball in a winner take all game 5 against the Houston Astros. Houston Astros: Collin McHugh  (1-0 , 3.00 ERA)   Kansas City Royals: Johnny Cueto (0-0 , 6.00 E...

The Toronto Blue Jays took a gamble in game 4 with a 7-1 lead they pitched ACE David Price, making him unavailable for the deciding game 5. Marcus Stroman will take his place and it's clear to me this is who the Blue Jays view as their true ace...

I have NEVER been a fan of John Lackey. Partially because he spent part of his career in Boston but when the playoffs come you gotta love a guy that says "Give me the ball!" The Cardinals backs are against the wall trailing the Cubs 2-1 in the best of 5 NLDS and Lackey stepped up and asked to pitch...

With the Cardinals and the Cubs tied 1-1 Cubs ace Jake Arrieta takes the mound. Cards will have their work cut out for them as Michael Wacha makes his postseason debut. Series tied 1-1 and first pitch is scheduled for 6:00 pm EST. St Louis Cardinals: Michael Wacha   Chicago Cubs: Jake Arrieta (1-0 , 0.00 E...

Can the Kansas City Royals win at Minute Maid Park for the first time this year? So far the Royals are 0-4 when playing on the Astros turf but with the series 2-1 in the Astros favor it's now or never for the defending AL Champs. 1:07 pm EST First pitch...

Two NLDS games tonight, first up is Cubs at Cardinals. This is a fun one for Red Sox fans as it features two former Sox starters, Jon Lester for the Cubs and John Lackey for the Cards. Chicago Cubs: Jon Lester 1. Dexter Fowler (S) CF 2...

The Kansas City Royals were already a favorite to go deep in the playoffs this year when they added right handed starting pitcher Johnny Cueto. Remember last year they almost won it all with "Big Game" James Shields who was pretty underwhelming as an "Ace"...

When the Rangers traded for Phillies ace Cole Hamels many(including myself) thought this was a pick up for next season, but now Texas is up one in Toronto with Hamels ready to take the ball in game two. Marcus Stroman is no push over so today's game should be low scoring but with the Blue Jays bats and Prince Fielder anything could happen...

ESPN's Buster Olney told 'Armen and Levack' the two things he'll be looking for in the NLDS with the Mets - Dodgers starting on Friday night.
