Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto has been a constant thorn in the side of the Los Angeles Dodgers, as he has hit safely in all 21 career encounters in which he has participated. After collecting five hits in the first series this season, Realmuto has four more in this set heading into Thursday afternoon's finale at Marlins Park.

Realmuto answered a three-hit performance in the series opener with a go-ahead homer in the sixth inning of Wednesday's 6-5 triumph. The 27-year-old has hit safely in all but four of his 24 games this season and is 4-for-9 with two homers in his career versus Thursday starter Kenta Maeda. While Miami (16-26) has won the first two contests of this series after dropping six of its previous seven, Los Angeles (16-26) is mired in a six-game losing skid and has just one win in its last 10. Yasmani Grandal homered for the second time in three outings to improve to 4-for-10 with three RBIs in that stretch after going 3-for-27 in his previous 10 games.

TV: 12:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, SportsNet LA, FS Florida (Miami)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers RH Kenta Maeda (2-3, 4.75 ERA) vs. Marlins LH Caleb Smith (2-4, 3.63)

Maeda fell to 0-2 in his last four outings on Friday after allowing a season high-tying five runs on nine hits in 4 2/3 innings of a 6-2 setback versus Cincinnati. The 30-year-old Japan native was taken deep for the fourth straight outing after keeping the ball in the park in each of his previous four. Maeda owns an 0-2 career mark versus the Marlins, but settled for a no-decision on April 24 despite permitting just one run on four hits while striking out seven in six innings.

Smith answered a pair of stellar scoreless outings with another fine performance on Thursday, albeit in a hard-luck loss versus Atlanta after yielding just two runs in 5 1/3 innings. The 26-year-old has kept the ball in the park in each of his last three trips to the mound after surrendering a homer in four of his previous five contests. Smith will make his 18th career appearance on Thursday and is meeting the Dodgers for the first time.

WALK-OFFS

1. Los Angeles 1B Cody Bellinger has two homers, two RBIs and four runs scored during his five-game hitting streak.

2. Miami 3B Brian Anderson, who is riding a five-game hitting streak, is 4-for-8 with two RBIs and two runs scored in the series.

3. Dodgers 2B Chase Utley is 1-for-12 in his last three games and 5-for-28 in his last nine.

PREDICTION: Dodgers 5, Marlins 4

Riding a hot streak that has propelled them into first place in the National League Central, the Pittsburgh Pirates will resume their nine-game homestand with the first of four against the San Diego Padres on Thursday night. The Pirates completed a two-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday for their seventh victory in the last eight games.

The Pirates improved to a major league-best 10-2 in interleague play despite missing center fielder Starling Marte and catcher Francisco Cervelli, who are listed as day-to-day after they were injured in Tuesday's game. Sean Rodriguez had an RBI triple after replacing Marte on Tuesday and delivered a two-run double the following day as Pittsburgh boosted its record at PNC Park to 14-6. The Padres opened their nine-game homestand by dropping four of five but bounced back to win three of the next four, culminating with a 4-0 victory over Colorado on Wednesday. Sitting in last place in the NL West despite playing a major league-high 29 games at home, San Diego kicks off a 10-game road trip with its visit to Pittsburgh.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, FS San Diego, AT&T SportsNet-Pittsburgh

PITCHING MATCHUP: Padres LH Eric Lauer (1-2, 8.27 ERA) vs. Pirates RH Chad Kuhl (4-2, 4.17)

Lauer followed the best start of his brief major league career with his worst, getting rocked for six runs and serving up four homers in only 2 1/3 innings in a home loss to St. Louis last time out. The 2016 first-round draft pick earned his first win in his previous start by blanking the Los Angeles Dodgers on seven hits over six innings. Opponents are batting a robust .365 against Lauer.

Kuhl registered his fourth quality start in his last five outings but had to settle for a no-decision against San Francisco after giving up three runs and six hits over six innings on Saturday. One issue for the 25-year-old is the long ball -- he is 3-1 over his last five starts but has yielded eight homers in that span. Kuhl has held Freddy Galvis and Wil Myers to a combined 0-for-11.

WALK-OFFS

1. Pirates 1B Josh Bell drove in the tiebreaking run with a pinch-hit single Wednesday, his ninth RBI in eight games.

2. Padres OF Travis Jankowski has multiple hits in five of his last nine games.

3. Pirates closer Felipe Vazquez has converted all eight save opportunities.

PREDICTION: Pirates 6, Padres 3

May 17, 2018

The Toronto Blue Jays hope to build off an offensive explosion last time out when they open a four-game series against the visiting Oakland Athletics on Thursday night. The Blue Jays recorded 15 hits, including seven for extra bases, in a 12-1 victory at the New York Mets on Wednesday afternoon to snap a three-game losing streak and sneak back over the .500 mark (22-21).

Justin Smoak (six RBIs in his last four outings) and Teoscar Hernandez (7-for-20 during his five-game hitting streak) each went deep while Richard Urena launched a three-run blast for Toronto on Wednesday after it managed seven runs the previous three contests. Aaron Sanchez will try to follow up a strong outing from J.A. Happ with another when he takes the mound for the Blue Jays in the series opener and Oakland counters with fellow right-hander Andrew Triggs, who has 42 strikeouts over 39 innings this year. The Athletics started a difficult nine-game stretch by losing five of six against Houston and the New York Yankees before winning two of three at Boston, but dropped the finale 6-4 on Wednesday. Marcus Semien homered in that contest and is 10-for-29 with six RBIs during a six-game hitting streak for Oakland.

TV: 7:07 p.m. ET, MLB Network, Sportsnet (Toronto)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics RH Andrew Triggs (3-1, 5.31 ERA) vs. Blue Jays RH Aaron Sanchez (2-3, 4.08)

Triggs has alternated strong and rough starts over his past six appearances after getting touched up for six runs over 4 1/3 innings at the Yankees last Saturday in a no-decision. The 29-year-old USC product owns two quality starts in his last four trips to the mound and limited opponents to two or fewer runs in five of eight overall. Josh Donaldson is 1-for-1 versus Triggs, who allowed two hits and one unearned run in one inning during his only career outing against Toronto.

Sanchez threw just 60 of 96 pitches for strikes last time out against Boston, permitting three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks over five innings in a no-decision. The 25-year-old California native had a stretch of four straight quality starts before giving up 11 runs (eight earned) over 14 2/3 innings across his last three appearances. Sanchez, who is 0-1 in four starts at home in 2018, yielded six runs over 6 1/3 innings in three career appearances versus Oakland.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Athletics will place C Bruce Maxwell (legal issues) on the restricted list for the Toronto series and recall C Josh Phegley.

2. The Blue Jays won five of the seven meetings in the series last season, including all four in Toronto.

3. Toronto recalled RHP Danny Barnes and optioned RHP Deck McGuire to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

May 17, 2018

J.D. Martinez has been everything the Boston Red Sox hoped for when they signed him to a $110 million deal this offseason, and the slugger will try to stay hot when he leads his team into the opener of a four-game series with the visiting Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. Martinez slugged a two-run homer and scored twice in Wednesday's 6-4 victory over the Oakland Athletics, giving him seven long balls in the past 14 contests.

The triumph allowed the Red Sox to avoid being swept for the first time this year while improving to 13-1 in series finales. The Orioles averaged 8.5 runs during a 5-1 surge before they were limited to four hits in a 4-1 loss to Philadelphia at home Wednesday afternoon. They'll give the ball to red-hot right-hander Kevin Gausman in the series opener opposite Red Sox lefty David Price. Boston carries a six-game winning streak over Baltimore into Thursday's contest, which is the makeup for an April 16 rainout.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, MASN (Baltimore), NESN (Boston)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Orioles RH Kevin Gausman (3-2, 3.18 ERA) vs. Red Sox LH David Price (3-4, 4.89)

Since allowing six runs in four innings of his season debut, Gausman is 3-1 with a 2.30 ERA over a span of seven starts. He followed up nine scoreless frames at Oakland two turns ago with 7 1/3 innings of two-run ball in a win over Tampa Bay on Friday. Mookie Betts is 12-for-29 with three home runs against the former first-round pick, who is 4-6 with a 3.83 ERA in his career versus Boston.

Price had eight days off between his last two starts, during which he was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, and then won at Toronto on Saturday with 5 1/3 solid innings. The former Cy Young Award winner gave up 10 runs (nine earned) in 6 2/3 innings over his last two outings at Fenway Park. Danny Valencia is 13-for-22 with five walks against Price, who dominated the Orioles through seven innings in their lone encounter last year and has a 2.81 ERA in 25 career meetings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Boston won the first three meetings in 2018 by a combined score of 20-7.

2. Martinez has reached safely in a career-high 21 straight games.

3. Baltimore CF Adam Jones homered for team's only run in Wednesday's loss while extending his hitting streak to 11 games.

May 16, 2018

The Philadelphia Phillies have won six of their last seven contests to move eight games above .500 for the first time since the end of the 2011 season. The Phillies (24-16) bid to continue their good fortune on Thursday when they open a four-game series at the St. Louis Cardinals (23-17), who have won 13 of the last 18 meetings between the teams in the Gateway City.

Philadelphia's Cesar Hernandez homered and tripled in Wednesday's 4-1 victory over Baltimore, marking the third time he's gone deep in his last 11 games after belting two homers in his first 29. The 27-year-old Venezuelan also scored twice to raise his runs total to seven in his last seven contests entering Thursday's tilt versus Luke Weaver, against whom he is 3-for-3 with a homer and a double. St. Louis' Tommy Pham struggled during the team's three-game losing skid before homering among his two hits in Wednesday's 7-5 win over Minnesota. The blast was the 30-year-old's third of the six-game road trip, during which he had seven hits with five runs scored in the three wins while going 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts in the three losses.

TV: 7:15 p.m. ET, NBCS Philadelphia, FS Midwest (St. Louis)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Vince Velasquez (3-4, 5.05 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Luke Weaver (3-2, 4.91)

Velasquez dropped a bombshell earlier this week by announcing that he underwent surgery which saw doctors remove a rib stemming from thoracic outlet syndrome. The 25-year-old overcame a sluggish start last Thursday in which he surrendered two homers for the third time in four outings before retiring 15 of the final 17 batters he faced and finishing with 12 strikeouts in a 6-3 triumph over San Francisco. Marcell Ozuna has homered among his three hits in 12 at-bats versus Velasquez, who was blasted for five runs on seven hits - including two homers - in his lone appearance against St. Louis in August 2016.

Weaver likely needs a big performance on Thursday if he wishes to remain in the starting rotation with the expected return of Alex Reyes, who is working his way pack from Tommy John surgery. The 24-year-old answered a trio of four-run performances on Friday by scattering four hits over five scoreless frames in a 9-5 victory at San Diego. Maikel Franco is 2-for-3 versus Weaver, who lost his lone career appearance against Philadelphia in 2016 after surrendering three runs on nine hits in five innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. St. Louis 1B Matt Carpenter collected three hits - including two doubles - on Wednesday after going 0-for-17 with eight strikeouts in his previous six outings.

2. Philadelphia CF Odubel Herrera has reached base in a career-best 42 games to move within 14 of tying Mike Schmidt's franchise record.

3. Cardinals SS Paul DeJong is 10-for-30 with one homer, five RBIs and three runs scored in his last eight games.

May 17, 2018

The Chicago Cubs arrived as contenders ahead of schedule in 2015 thanks to a flood of talented prospects. The Atlanta Braves are following the same blueprint, and their brigade will try to claim a series victory over the visiting Cubs on Thursday.

Rookies Ozzie Albies and Ronald Acuna Jr. - the two youngest position players in the majors - led a three-run outburst in the eighth inning Wednesday to give the Braves a 4-1 win and even the series. Acuna homered in the eighth to give Atlanta the lead in the series opener a night earlier, but the Cubs responded with two runs in the ninth to steal a win. The Braves have won seven of their last nine contests to maintain a one-game lead over Philadelphia in the National League East. After breaking out at the plate during a five-game winning streak last week, the Cubs have scored three or fewer runs in three of their past four games.

TV: 7:35 p.m. ET, MLB Network, WGN (Chicago), FS Southeast (Atlanta)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cubs LH Jon Lester (3-1, 2.66 ERA) vs. Braves RH Mike Soroka (1-1, 3.68)

Lester has allowed two or fewer runs in five of his eight starts, but he’s had difficulty getting past the sixth inning. The 34-year-old has walked at least three batters in five of his outings. Lester is 6-2 with a 2.47 ERA in nine meetings with the Braves, including eight quality starts.

Soroka’s last outing was hampered by a two-out error in the fifth inning that led to three unearned runs and ended his night early. The 20-year-old has shown electric stuff, compiling 15 strikeouts and just four walks in 14 2/3 innings across his first three big-league starts. He’s looking for his first win at home after allowing four runs in four innings of a loss to San Francisco in his SunTrust Park debut on May 6.

WALK-OFFS

1. Albies’ 30 extra-base hits are the most by a Braves player through the team’s first 42 games of the season since Hank Aaron had 32 in 1959.

2. Cubs C Willson Contreras is 12-for-24 with nine extra-base hits over his past seven games.

3. Atlanta CF Ender Inciarte is 1-for-16 versus Lester.

May 16, 2018

The Chicago White Sox own the worst record in the majors at 10-29, which also represents the most horrific 39-game start in franchise history. Chicago will look to avoid its 10th setback in the past 11 games when it opens a four-game home series against the Texas Rangers on Thursday.

The White Sox have allowed an average of 6.7 runs over their past 10 games, so Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates was at least progress from a pitching perspective. Chicago has dropped five straight home games to fall to a major-league worst 3-15 in that category as it begins an eight-game homestand. Texas halted a three-game slide in which it allowed 21 runs by posting a 5-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. Rangers slugger Joey Gallo struck out three times for the third time in four games and is just 2-for-26 with 14 strikeouts over the past seven games.

TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, FS Southwest (Texas), NBCS Chicago

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rangers LH Cole Hamels (2-4, 3.48 ERA) vs. White Sox RH James Shields (1-4, 5.44)

Hamels ended a six-start winless stretch when he tossed six shutout innings of one-hit ball while defeating the Houston Astros on Friday. The 34-year-old has compiled a 1.93 ERA over his past four starts while allowing two or fewer earned runs in each of the outings. Hamels is 2-0 with a 2.86 ERA in four career starts against the White Sox with 30 strikeouts against just one walk.

Shields is winless over his past eight starts (0-4) since beating the Kansas City Royals on Opening Day. The 36-year-old lost to the Chicago Cubs in his last turn when he gave up five runs and seven hits over six innings. Shields is 7-3 with a 2.70 ERA in 15 career starts against the Rangers and has struggled with Shin-Soo Choo (7-for-20).

WALK-OFFS

1. The Rangers are just 22-38 at Guaranteed Rate Field since the beginning of the 2001 campaign.

2. Chicago 1B Jose Abreu is batting .333 in May but has homered just once over his past 19 appearances.

3. Texas 2B Rougned Odor is 3-for-16 with eight strikeouts in five games since returning from a hamstring injury.

May 17, 2018

C.J. Cron, traded by the Los Angeles Angels in February after struggling to find regular playing time, is excelling as an everyday starter with the Tampa Bay Rays. The first baseman/designated hitter carries a nine-game hitting streak into Thursday’s return to Anaheim, where the Rays are beginning a four-game series against his former team.

Cron has reached base safely in a career-high 22 consecutive contests and was a key factor Wednesday, when he helped Tampa Bay complete a three-game sweep of Kansas City by going 2-for-4 with a solo homer - his second in two nights - and three runs scored. “I know the home runs are great and he’s done that throughout his career, but the at-bats he’s having, finding ways to get hits, and then he did it on the bases, too,” manager Kevin Cash told reporters. “He’s helped us a lot. I’m glad he’s getting hot at the right time to go into Anaheim.” The Angels opened the week by dropping two of three to Houston, including Wednesday’s 2-0 loss to Justin Verlander, who threw a complete-game five-hitter. Two-way sensation Shohei Ohtani, expected to start Sunday’s series finale on the mound, looks to bounce back from a rare off-night at the plate after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Wednesday.

TV: 10:07 p.m. ET, FS Sun (Tampa Bay), FS West (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rays RH Chris Archer (2-3, 5.64 ERA) vs. Angels LH Tyler Skaggs (3-2, 3.07)

Archer tossed seven innings Saturday against Baltimore but allowed six runs and seven hits in the 6-3 loss. The two-time All-Star has given up four runs or more in eight of his last 14 starts dating back to Sept. 8, 2017. Ian Kinsler is 4-for-25 with eight strikeouts against Archer, who owns a 5-1 record and 2.55 ERA in seven career starts against the Angels, including 3-1 with a 2.45 ERA in five outings at Angel Stadium.

Skaggs turned in another strong outing Friday, allowing two runs with seven strikeouts over six frames against Minnesota. The 26-year-old native Californian has struck out at least seven batters in three straight starts after reaching that total once in his first five outings. Skaggs is facing Tampa Bay for the second time after allowed five runs over six innings May 15, 2014.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Rays are 23-10 at Angel Stadium since the start of the 2010 season, including 7-1 in their last eight games.

2. The Angels optioned Jaime Barria to Triple-A Salt Lake City and recalled fellow RHP Eduardo Paredes.

3. Tampa Bay placed OF Carlos Gomez on the 10-day disabled list with a right groin injury and recalled INF Christian Arroyo from Triple-A Durham.

The Detroit Tigers won a series from Seattle last weekend and look for more success when they open a four-game set against the host Mariners on Thursday. Detroit notched a pair of one-run wins while taking two of three from the Mariners at Comerica Park.

The finale in Detroit is when Seattle second baseman Robinson Cano suffered a broken hand when hit by a pitch with the news getting much worse two days later when he was suspended for 80 games due to violating Major League Baseball's performance-enhancing drug policy. Center fielder Dee Gordon, a Gold Glove second baseman, is now taking grounders in preparation to move to the position after manager Scott Servais initially said he wasn't an option. The Mariners lost 5-1 to the Texas Rangers on Wednesday, while the Tigers fell for just the second time in six games when they lost 6-0 to the Cleveland Indians. Detroit right fielder Nicholas Castellanos struck out three times in four hitless at-bats and is 1-for-8 over the last two games after missing the previous two due to a finger injury.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, FS Detroit, ROOT Northwest (Seattle)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers LH Matthew Boyd (2-3, 3.21 ERA) vs. Mariners LH Marco Gonzales (3-3, 5.31)

Boyd grew up in the Seattle area and will be making his first career start (and second appearance) at Safeco Field. The 27-year-old defeated the Mariners last Saturday in Detroit when he gave up three runs and three hits over six innings. Boyd has pitched at least six innings in six of his seven starts this season and is holding batters to a .212 average.

Gonzales lost while matched up against Boyd last week and gave up four runs and 10 hits over six innings. The 26-year-old has pitched six innings in each of his last four turns after totaling just 10 1/3 innings during a three-start stretch. Gonzales has struggled in three home starts, going 0-1 with a 7.07 ERA while allowing opponents to bat .333.

WALK-OFFS

1. Tigers CF Leonys Martin (hamstring) is expected to come off the disabled list at some point in the series.

2. Seattle DH Nelson Cruz (foot) will miss his second straight game but is expected to avoid a DL stint.

3. Detroit OF JaCoby Jones (hip) departed Wednesday's game, underwent an MRI exam and manager Ron Gardenhire said Jones will be evaluated further Thursday in Seattle.

The Colorado Rockies had a day off Wednesday, allowing right-hander Chad Bettis to celebrate a special anniversary -- the one year mark since he underwent his final chemotherapy treatment following testicular surgery. Bettis will be on the mound Thursday when the Rockies resume their nine-game road trip with the first of four at the San Francisco Giants.

A 14-game winner in 2016, Bettis did not pitch until mid-August last year and finished 2-4 in nine starts, but he already has won four times in eight outings this season. Third baseman Nolan Arenado had a four-game hitting streak snapped in Wednesday's 4-0 loss at San Diego but is a career .311 hitter with 21 homers in 88 games versus San Francisco. The Giants had a three-game hitting streak halted and were denied a sweep in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to visiting Cincinnati despite Brandon Belt's solo home run that gave him the team lead with nine. Belt has gone deep in each of the last three games and is 10-for-23 during a five-game hitting streak.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, NBCS Bay Area (San Francisco), AT&T SportsNet-Rocky Mountain (Colorado)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rockies RH Chad Bettis (4-1, 3.12 ERA) vs. Giants RH Jeff Samardzija (1-2, 6.94)

Bettis was knocked around last time out, matching his shortest outing of the season when he was tagged for seven runs and 10 hits over five innings in a no-decision versus Milwaukee. Not surprisingly, Bettis has been much better away from Coors Field, compiling a 4-1 record and 1.35 ERA in five road starts as opposed to a 6.89 ERA at home. Belt (7-for-16) and outfielder Andrew McCutchen (4-for-8) have worn out Bettis.

Samardzija was one out from getting through six innings for the first time this season when he surrendered a two-run blast and wound up charged with five runs over 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision at Pittsburgh. He lasted four innings in his previous turn, giving up five runs in a loss at Philadelphia. Ian Desmond (10-for-24), Arenado (12-for-29) and Gerardo Parra (12-for-30) are batting .400 or above against Samardzija.

WALK-OFFS

1. Giants SS Brandon Crawford is 10-for-13 over the last four games.

2. Desmond is 3-for-29 over the past eight games.

3. Giants ace Madison Bumgarner (finger) threw a 30-pitch bullpen Wednesday and will toss another one Friday or Saturday.

PREDICTION: Rockies 5, Giants 3
