Rotoworld Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans Corbin Burnes Under 17.5 Outs:

"New York's offense is clicking right now with 27 runs over the last two games and Corbin Burnes has been a shell of himself. Burnes has walked at least two hitters in four of five starts and allowed two or more runs in four games. I could only lean toward the Mets ML and Under 17.5 outs for Burnes."

PHILADELPHIA — The only outfield in major league history where all three players batted .400 in the same season will be honored the same way as the Philadelphia Phillies players whose numbers have been retired, the team announced.

Baseball Hall of Fame members Ed Delahanty, Billy Hamilton and Sam Thompson were the Phillies’ regular outfielders from 1891-95. Delahanty batted .405, Hamilton .403 and Thompson .415 in 1894.

The three played before the introduction of uniform numbers. They will have their respective uniform insignias from their era added to the retired numbers displayed on the brick wall above Ashburn Alley at Citizens Bank Park. The insignias also will be individually showcased on the retired number disks in the left field plaza.

A ceremony will be held before a game against the Washington Nationals.

The Phillies have retired the numbers of Richie Ashburn, Jim Bunning, Dick Allen, Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, Roy Halladay and Robin Roberts and have the uniform insignias of Chuck Klein and Grover Cleveland Alexander on display. The Phillies, along with every major league team, also have retired Jackie Robinson’s No. 42.

CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Reds placed corner infielder Jeimer Candelario on the 10-day injured list with a lower-back injury.

The 31-year-old Candelario has struggled at the plate the first month of the season. Candelario, batting .113 with two home runs and 10 RBIs, was diagnosed with a lumbar spine strain after a medical evaluation.

The Reds recalled Tyler Callihan from Triple-A Louisville and added right-handed pitcher Chase Petty to the taxi squad. Petty was scheduled to start the second game of a doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals..

Candelario signed a three-year, $45 million contract last year that included a $3 million signing bonus. He’s played for five teams over 10 major league seasons and is a .237 career hitter with 110 home runs.

It's Wednesday, April 30 and the Nationals (13-17) are in Philadelphia to take on the Phillies (16-13). Jake Irvin is slated to take the mound for Washington against Cristopher Sánchez for Philadelphia.

Philadelphia won a 7-6 thriller over Washington that featured six runs scored in the ninth inning. The Nationals scored a run before giving up the lead on a SAC fly followed by a wild pitch that scored Bryson Stott. The Phillies have won three straight after losing the past five.

Expert picks & predictions for tonight’s game between the Nationals and the Phillies

Rotoworld Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Nationals +1.5:

"After yesterday's devasting loss, the Nationals will want to bounce back as the Phillies' winning streak is on thin ice. Sanchez only went 2.0 innings in his last start, which is not something worth trusting and if the bullpen can allow four runs in the top of the 9th, I am not sure I can trust that back-to-back days. It's Nats or pass."

It's Wednesday, April 30 and the Cubs (18-12) are in Pittsburgh to take on the Pirates (11-19). Matthew Boyd is slated to take the mound for Chicago against Carmen Mlodzinski for Pittsburgh.

The Cubs won the series opener, 9-0 yesterday behind 5.0 innings from Shota Imanaga and four different players hitting a homer. The Pirates didn't get a runner in scoring position until the fifth inning and the bullpen could be taxed after using five relief pitchers because Andrew Heaney failed to reach 5.0 innings.

Expert picks & predictions for tonight’s game between the Cubs and the Pirates

Rotoworld Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Pirates to win outright:

"Coming off a 9-0 win with four homers is one way to set the tone in the series. However, the Pirates stealing one win today or tomorrow is likely and at +140 or better, the Buccos are in play. Pittsburgh is rolling with the bullpen today and will need runs. The Buccos had had multiple RISP from the fifth inning on but were not able to capitalize against Imanaga, but Boyd shouldn't be much of an issue."

SEATTLE — Had the weather been a bit more cooperative and the winds a tad friendlier, Jorge Polanco’s excellent evening would have turned into arguably the greatest game of his major league career.

Instead of his first three-home run game, Polanco had to settle for just a couple in the Mariners’ 5-3 win against the Los Angeles Angels.

It was the second time in three games Polanco hit a pair of home runs in a contest, and he came within feet of making it a trio if not for Angels center fielder Jo Adell robbing him of another.

“I thought it was a homer, too,” Polanco said. “But, it is what it is.”

Adell’s robbery aside, Polanco has been the catalyst for a surprising Mariners offense. Just a few months ago, such a reality seemed improbable.

Polanco underwent surgery in October to repair the left patellar tendon. Then in November, the Mariners declined his $12 million option for the 2025 season, only to bring him back for the discounted rate of $7 million.

All Polanco has proven to be is one of the best bargains in baseball through the early stages of the season.

Following the contest, Polanco leads all MLB hitters with a minimum of 70 plate appearances with a 260 weighted runs created plus. Polanco is also the American League’s reigning player of the week after going 8 for 17 with two doubles, four home runs and eight RBIs in five games.

Polanco is in the greatest groove of his big league career.

“It’s been a really good stretch, really fun. I think this is the best I’ve felt,” Polanco said. “I feel really good right now with the approach and everything.”

Polanco’s sizzling start isn’t likely to be sustainable considering he has an 1.242 OPS to complement a .389 batting average. But, he is just the most prominent example from a Mariners lineup that even with star Julio Rodríguez scuffling is more than holding its own.

Catcher Cal Raleigh is tied for the MLB lead in home runs with 10. The Mariners are pacing the majors in walks and stolen bases. Not bad for a club expected to be carried by its starting pitching.

There have been other solid individual performers, too, such as utilityman Dylan Moore — who was placed on the 10-day injured list — and shortstop J.P. Crawford.

There’s no debate, though, about who has been leading the charge for the Mariners. It’s Polanco by a wide margin.

“Just the consistency I think is the thing that’s amazing to me,” manager Dan Wilson said of Polanco. “Balls going out of the ballpark are great, but he’s just finding a barrel almost all the time. Just tells you a lot, that his timing is really good, as well as fastballs on the barrel.

“He’s just in a place where he’s seeing the ball really well.”

And in the process, the Mariners find themselves in the midst a surge. With their fifth win in six games, the Mariners now have a 17-12 record while sitting atop the American League West.

The Mariners only will increase their division lead should Polanco — who credited his success in part to some mechanical adjustments he made to his swing after being acquired from the Twins last January — keep turning in these kinds of performances.

It’s a big ask, no doubt. But Polanco isn’t letting all the success impact his process, nor does he intend to alter it.

“I think the approach to stay in the middle just helps you let the ball get a little bit deeper,” Polanco said. “I’m reacting with the pitches. Just kind of take that approach. I’m trying to go to the middle.”

ARLINGTON, Texas — Everything came together in the same game for two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom and the Texas Rangers batters.

Texas had a much-needed offensive breakout while deGrom struck out seven over six scoreless innings for his first win in more than two years, though he had pitched well enough to win in several other starts this season.

“When was the last one, ‘23? Yeah, it’s been a while,” deGrom said after the Rangers’ 15-2 win over the Athletics.

“He earned it. He had great stuff tonight, he kept us on our toes,” second baseman Marcus Semien said. “We were just talking about how the time of possession was. You know, we were hitting for a long time and he’s getting quick outs. So usually that’s a good recipe.”

The 36-year-old deGrom (1-1) had gone 737 days since also beating the A’s on April 23, 2023, then made only one more start in his debut season with Texas before Tommy John surgery.

He scattered four singles and didn’t walk a batter in a 65-pitch outing (47 strikes). It was only that short since the right-hander didn’t return after an eight-run outburst in the Rangers sixth that matched their previous season high for runs in an entire game and put them up 12-0.

So just how efficient was deGrom? The right-hander honestly thought he was “probably in the 70s or something to 80,” as did catcher Jonah Heim.

“A lot a strikeouts that I feel like he just overpowered a lot of hitters, which is who he is. He’s got that electric fastball,” Heim said.

“My mechanics were pretty good,” said deGrom, a meticulous worker who was feeling good after a side session the day before the game. “I’m constantly trying to perfect it and get in the best positions that I can get based on performance and health.”

Texas entered the night last in the majors with 91 runs scored, and only 12 combined the previous six games. DeGrom had gotten only nine runs of support in his first five starts.

The Rangers snapped a three-game losing streak while setting season highs for runs, hits (18) and walks (nine). They had three bases-clearing doubles in the same game for the first time in team history — Adolis García and Wyatt Langford each had one during a four-batter stretch in that big sixth, and Kyle Higashioka added his three-run double in the eighth.

Their offensive outburst came after the full squad was required to be on the field for batting practice before the game.

“Good to see you guys break out and have a good game. ... Some success, it’s contagious,” manager Bruce Bochy said. “You’re hoping this is something these guys can build on, build some confidence.”

For deGrom, he improved to 3-1 with a 2.55 ERA in his 15 starts for the Rangers since signing a five-year, $185 million contract in December 2022. He is 85-58 in 224 career starts, the first 209 with the New York Mets from 2014-2022.

“He was really good tonight. You know, I said when season started, it’s just going to get better with him as he builds up his strength and stamina,” Bochy said. “Really good command tonight, really good stuff. And it’s just getting better with him.”

Its Wednesday, April 30 and the Giants (19-11) are in San Diego wrapping up a two-game series against the Padres (18-11).

Landen Roupp is slated to take the mound for San Francisco against Michael King for San Diego.

The Padres won last night, 7-4. Xander Bogaerts went 2-4 and drove in three to lead San Diego to their 18th win of the season. Nick Pivetta gave up three runs in 5.1 innings to earn his fifth win of the season.
