Walk-offs & Wipeouts: MLB Match Previews for 19/04/25
It’s a jam-packed Saturday across Major League Baseball as all 30 teams take to the field in what promises to be one of the most exciting slates of the young 2025 season. From high-stakes divisional duels to explosive interleague encounters, the line-up on 19 April is stacked with storylines — and we’ve got every angle covered in our detailed MLB Match Previews.
Overview of the Matchups
Let’s start at the top — there are 15 games scheduled for Saturday, with first pitch starting as early as 13:05 EST. At Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies are riding a two-game winning streak and will aim to stay hot as they welcome the Marlins. With Bryce Harper rediscovering his power swing and the pitching staff racking up double-digit strikeouts, Philadelphia looks like a team no one wants to face right now.
Meanwhile, Detroit will look to contain Kansas City, who’ve been struggling to find runs, let alone results. The Tigers’ Casey Mize is hoping for some redemption after a frustrating outing, while Seth Lugo starts for the Royals after getting torched by Yankees hitters in his last appearance.
Things could get wild in Chicago as the Cubs and Diamondbacks — two of the league’s top offensive teams — go head-to-head at Wrigley Field. If Friday’s 13–11 slugfest was any indication, expect fireworks once again.
Over in Toronto, the Blue Jays will look to extend their homestand success against a Mariners team still learning from its baserunning mistakes. Addison Barger’s cannon arm was the difference in game one, but can Logan Gilbert settle things down on the mound for Seattle?
The Mets and Cardinals clash at Citi Field, where New York is looking to keep its walk-off magic alive. Francisco Lindor sealed a comeback win on Friday, and with Kodai Senga pitching like a Cy Young candidate, the Mets are firm favourites to maintain their NL East dominance.
Elsewhere, Paul Skenes returns to the mound for Pittsburgh, and the rookie ace is already showing the poise of a veteran. Cleveland will hope to break through with a newly shuffled batting order that finally gave them life in a 10-run showing on Friday.
High altitude, high drama? Possibly. The Nationals and Rockies cap off the day in Denver, with MacKenzie Gore toeing the rubber against promising Rockies rookie Chase Dollander. Despite their records, this one could be closer than expected.
Other intriguing matchups include:
- Cincinnati’s Hunter Greene taking on a resurgent Orioles lineup.
- Roki Sasaki seeking redemption for the Dodgers against Texas.
- Garrett Crochet facing his old team, the White Sox, in Fenway Park.
- The Yankees looking to extend their win streak against Tampa Bay.
- The Padres’ Michael King staying perfect in Houston.
- A battle of rookies and relievers in Milwaukee as the Brewers take on Oakland.
- Chris Sale trying to rediscover Cy Young form for the Braves against the Twins.
- The Angels welcoming back Zach Neto in a tight series versus the Giants.
