Fifteen games make up Saturday’s MLB slate, and three headline matchups air nationally on FOX and FS1. The Dodgers, owners of one of the best records in the National League, visit the Mets at 7:15 p.m. ET on FOX, with Mariners at Rangers also on FOX in the same window. FS1 carries an NL wild card showdown in the afternoon as the Padres visit the Marlins. Each of these games also streams live and on demand on FOX One.
The Padres sit below .500 and need to string together wins to stay in the NL wild card race, while the Marlins have quietly climbed over .500 in Miami. San Diego’s probable starter is JP Sears (2-3, 4.38 ERA) against Miami’s probable starter Eury Perez (5-7, 3.54 ERA), a pitching matchup that favors the home club on paper.
Los Angeles has one of the best records in baseball and rolls into Queens on the strength of probable starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto (10-6, 2.78 ERA), one of the National League’s top starters this season. The Mets have struggled all year and counter with probable starter Nolan McLean (7-6, 3.34 ERA) in a game that pits a World Series contender against a club looking to spoil the party.
Seattle and Texas enter this American League West matchup in a tight race, making it a pivotal game for both clubs’ playoff hopes. Probable starter Bryan Woo (7-6, 4.16 ERA) takes the mound for the Mariners against the Rangers’ probable starter Nathan Eovaldi (9-8, 4.21 ERA).
FOX and FS1 carry Saturday’s national games, with every matchup across the league streaming live and on demand on FOX One.
