It’s time for the rubber match between the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs on a beautiful, sunny afternoon at American Family Field. The Brewers are looking for the series win and a chance to secure a 7.5 game lead over the Chicago Cubs as we reach the mathematical halfway point of the season. This is the Brewers 81st game out of 162.
On the mound, the Brewers will have their veteran leader Brandon Woodruff. Woodruff made a strong return to the rotation on the last road trip after dealing with dead arm and a six week IL stint. Woodruff will be looking to repeat that success against the Cubs, a team that knows him very well and vice versa.
The Cubs, meanwhile, will have a former first round pick in Ryan Rolison on the bump. Rolison was drafted by the Rockies, struggled there upon making his MLB debut last year and bounced around and was a member of the Braves and White Sox on paper over the offseason before landing with the Cubs. He’s having a solid season, with a 1.82 ERA in 25 appearances, though this is just his second start. It’ll largely be a bullpen game for the Cubs this afternoon as they try to piece together their rotation after dealing with a number of injuries.
The Brewers will have nearly all of their regulars in the starting lineup despite it being a Sunday afternoon. Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio, and Brice Turang make up the top of the order as they generally do. William Contreras gets the day off however with a day game after a night game. Gary Sanchez will be behind the dish and batting sixth. Garrett Mitchell is also out of the lineup after exiting last night with a cramp, but it doesn’t appear to be anything serious. Chourio slides over to center and Jake Bauers is in left field, allowing both Bauers and Vaughn to fit into the lineup.
The Cubs will be rolling out a similar lineup as they have all series. Pete Crow-Armstrong leads off, followed by Alex Bregman, Michael Busch, and Seiya Suzuki.
After the bullpen struggled last night, the Brewers will be looking for a vintage Brandon Woodruff start to shut the Cubs down and do it efficiently. The Cubs bullpen has had some struggles so if the Brewers can get to Rolison and the rest of that group early, things can line up very well for the Crew.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are facing off against the Cincinnati Reds in the finale of a three-game weekend set at PNC Park
The Pirates are handing the ball off to Mitch Keller to close out the series. Keller pitched six innings in his last start against the Seattle Mariners earlier in the homestand. He performed well, pitching six innings and giving up just three runs, but the offense did not give him enough run support. Keller took a 2-1 lead into the seventh inning, but a home run from second baseman Cole Young changed the entire tone of the start and game as a whole.
Keller picked up a loss in a game he could have won, especially if Don Kelly swapped him out after the sixth inning. However, the fact that he was trusted to go into the seventh is a good sign for what Keller can do against the Reds.
Cincinnati is trotting out Brady Singer, who is 3-6 with a 4.81 ERA in his second season with the Reds. In his last start, Singer pitched seven innings against the Milwaukee Brewers without giving up a run, but the Reds still lost 2-1 in 10 innings. Now, Singer hopes to continue his momentum against the Pirates.

After a standout season in the G League, the Lakers have tendered a non-qualifying offer to two-way guard Chris Mañon, making him a restricted free agent.
Mañon earned G League First Team All-Defense honors with the South Bay Lakers last season.
In his rookie season, Mañon was effectively a non-factor with the parent Lakers after signing his two-way deal, scoring just seven points in nine games and never playing outside of garbage time. In total, he played just 46 minutes in the NBA last year.
However, in the G League, he saw far more time, playing in 46 games with South Bay. While he still had a limited offensive role, scoring 11.6 points per game but shooting 31.5% from the 3-point line, he made his name on the other end of the floor.
Mañon finished the year averaging 2.1 steals and 0.9 blocks per game and earned the reputation as one of the best defenders in the G League. On top of his First Team All-Defense honors, he finished second in voting for G League Defensive Player of the Year.
The need for a reliable offensive game still trumps his defensive ability, no matter how great it is. However, his elite defense also makes him an intriguing two-way candidate. That being said, Mañon is 24 years old and while that’s certainly not a finished product, it’s also pretty late in a basketball career to suddenly find or develop offensive skills that haven’t existed before.
For the Lakers, it’s an easy move to tender the non-qualifying offer and make him a restricted free agent. They can always pull the offer at any time if a more intriguing two-way option becomes available.

With this year's free agency class not being the strongest, there has been a lot of trade activity around the NHL. This should only continue to be the case as the off-season rolls on, and the Montreal Canadiens could be a team to watch in the trade market.
NHL insider Frank Seravalli put three Canadiens on his trade board for Hockey 24/7, as Samuel Montembeault, Kirby Dach, and Brendan Gallagher all made the cut.
Montembeault was given the No. 19 spot, and it is not difficult to understand why. He was passed on the Canadiens' depth chart by Jakub Dobes and Jacob Fowler last season, and the Habs should be looking to move him because of it. In 25 games last season for Montreal, he had a 10-8-4 record, an .873 save percentage, and a 3.43 goals-against average.
Dach was given the No. 22 spot by Seravalli on his trade board. The big center is a pending restricted free agent and could be a player the Canadiens dangle if they do not view him as a long-term part of their plans. In 37 games this past season with the Habs, the 6-foot-4 forward posted eight goals, 15 points, and 53 hits.
As for Gallagher, he landed the No. 34 spot. He was transparent at the end of the season that his time in Montreal was coming to an end, and it is no secret that the Canadiens are looking to move him. The veteran winger posted seven goals, 23 points, and 98 hits in 77 games last season for Montreal.
The three most recent outings turned in by Cincinnati Reds starter Brady Singer have been much, much more in-line with the expectations placed upon him prior to the season. In those, he’s tossed 18.0 IP, cleared 7.0 IP once, and allowed just 3 ER in that time. He’s struck out 17 against just 6 walks, finding ways to once again put the ball over the plate without it being summarily served into the seats beyond outfield walls.
Prior to those three starts, he’d surrendered homers at the worst rate among all MLB starters. Now? He’s once again a guy you want to take the ball every fifth day.
Singer gets the start in Pittsburgh on Sunday as the Cincinnati Reds go for the series sweep of the Pirates. Mitch Keller, who seemingly has started 794 career games against the Reds, will toe the rubber for the Buccos to begin things.
First pitch is set for 1:35 PM ET.
Lineups for both clubs are listed below!

The Boston Red Sox will look to complete a four-game sweep over the New York Yankees on Sunday Night Baseball.
While the Red Sox are favored to do so, my Yankees vs. Red Sox props and MLB picks are headlined by Ben Rice and a couple of New York bats.
Be sure to also read our full Yankees vs. Red Sox predictions.
| Pick | Odds |
|---|---|
 Ben Rice Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI | -130 |
 Wilyer Abreu Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI | -120 |
| Cody Bellinger Over 0.5 singles | -120 |
Ben Rice is relied upon to do a lot of heavy lifting with the New York Yankees missing several key bats, and he’s certainly capable of doing so in this matchup.
Sonny Gray ranks in the 55th percentile in xwOBA vs. left-handed bats. Excluding righties in the 60th percentile or higher, Rice has gone Over 1.5 H+R+R in 76.9% of his games — averaging 3.7 along the way.
It hasn’t mattered who is in the lineup — Rice has cleared his line in four of five such matchups without Aaron Judge.
I’d back Rice to -150.
Wilyer Abreu feasts on left-handed pitching. He has hit safely in 18 of 19 games in which he faced a southpaw starter and cleared this line in 13 of them, good for a 68.4% success rate.
Abreu has gotten the job done against almost every non-elite starter he has faced. If the opposing starter ranked in the 80th percentile or worse in xwOBA vs. right-handed hitters, he has gone Over in nine of 10 games.
Drop the ceiling to the 60th percentile — Carlos Rodon sits in the 39th — and Abreu is 5-for-5 in clearing this line.
Play to -140.
Cody Bellinger is a consistent singles hitter. He recorded at least one in 53% of his games last season and, before a recent five-game dry spell, was sitting above 50% again this year.
Gray has allowed a batting average 20 points higher vs. left-handed hitters than righties, which works in Bellinger’s favor.
Bellinger has also seen his power evaporate of late, posting a 5% barrel rate against Gray’s pitch mix the past 20 games.
Bellinger is -250 for a hit in this game. Given the lack of power we’ve seen, I prefer the single route.
Play to -130.

The Boston Red Sox are short favorites against the New York Yankees on Sunday night, but I’m taking the plus-money side in my Yankees vs Red Sox predictions.
The matchup is good for the Yankees, and I believe they can lean into the motivation angle of not being swept by a rival.
Here are my MLB picks for June 28. Be sure to also read our Sunday Night Baseball prop picks.
Sonny Gray's impressive season seems unsustainable. He's still a solid pitcher, but he's outperformed his expectations in a variety of ways this season.
At some point, there will be regression. His actual ERA is over a full run lower than his expected ERA of 3.8. The New York Yankees can provide some of that regression, targeting a barrel rate that's just average at 7.3%.
Carlos Rodon is not perfect, but his 3.83 xERA, .224 xBA allowed, and 5.8% barrel rate are good enough to deliver here.
I'd play the Yankees to -110.
COVERS INTEL: Sonny Gray is allowing a 36.5% launch-angle sweet-spot rate, well above the MLB average of 33.3%I’m playing the Over because Gray’s current profile does not support treating him like a shutdown arm. His .300 xBA allowed and 11.0% barrel rate create a real path for the Yankees to bounce back offensively, even without a fully healthy lineup.
Rodon has the better contact profile, but his 12.7% walk rate keeps the Boston Red Sox alive for base traffic.
At 7.5, this number does not require a blowup. It needs one starter to crack and the other offense to contribute. Play to 8.
Winds will be blowing inward at first pitch, but will shift as the game goes on. The 3 mph winds shouldn't factor too much as the temps dip into the high 60s.
The New York Yankees have hit the moneyline in 12 of their last 18 away games (+4.80 Units / 21% ROI). Find more MLB betting trends for Yankees vs. Red Sox.

After reeling off a four-game win streak against baseball’s two top teams, the San Diego Padres were dealt their worst loss of the season at the hands of the rival Los Angeles Dodgers. L.A. scored 15 runs in total, nine of which came in the sixth inning after Randy Vásquez struggled to locate his pitches, and Will Wagner made a crucial error at second base.
It was a tough game to watch. But, at the end of the day, it’s just one loss. Hopefully, the Friars can pick up where they left off in Game 1, and take the rubber match Sunday afternoon.
Sheehan’s had a rough go of it lately in the Dodgers’ rotation. After looking like a serviceable back end starter for most of the season, he’s pitched incredibly poor in the month of June. He owns a 7.31 ERA in this month alone. It’s ballooned his ERA from 4.50 at the beginning of the month to 5.32 entering today’s matchup.
That said, the Friars’ lineup owns a combined .250 batting average (24 at-bats) against the right-hander. Admittedly, it’s a small sample size, but the club will need to perform much better in the series finale today in order to finish the week on a high note.
Speaking of high notes, King’s last start against the Atlanta Braves was the best game he’s pitched since he last faced the Dodgers. After pitching seven shutout innings against them in May, King was ridiculously inconsistent until facing Atlanta. He had given up three-plus runs in all five of his starts since facing L.A. for a total of 19 earned runs over 26 2/3 innings.
There was a lot to like about his outings, but King couldn’t seem to limit damage in the big innings. He struggled to command his pitches well, and things went off the rails quickly. He’ll hope to continue his resurgence against the division rivals in the series finale today.
If the Friars are going to take the series finale, Sheehan’s the best Dodgers starter to do so against. He’s struggled lately and doesn’t have the best track record against Padres batters. That said, with not much experience versus the righty, San Diego will need to push down on the gas.
Tatis has started in right field throughout this series. It’s likely that changes after Wagner’s costly error last night. But, Sung-Mun Song could also start at second base if called upon. The Friars haven’t used him much since calling him up, but it could be worth giving him a shot against Sheehan.
Vásquez looked great through three innings of work. After Kyle Hart opened for him, surrendering one run through two innings of work, Vásquez made it through the fifth inning scoreless before the dreaded sixth. The Padres were tied one apiece before he proceeded to give up seven runs to Los Angeles.
Not helping was Ron Marinaccio, who relieved Vásquez. He surrendered two more runs in the inning and three more in the eighth. David Morgan came in and gave up a run before finishing it off. Catcher Rodolfo Durán pitched the ninth with the game well out of hand. Not even he left unscathed, surrendering a run to the Dodgers.
All that to say, it was an uncharacteristic outing for the Friars’ pitching staff. Unfortunately, it’s a continuing problem for Vásquez, but that’s a separate topic entirely. The one hopeful note is that it saved the high-leverage relievers for today’s finale. Jason Adam, Yuki Matsui, Mason Miller, Adrian Morejon and Wandy Peralta are readily available out of the ‘pen. None has an ERA above 2.60 (Adam) across the last 30 games.
Astros fans have heard the old saying a thousand times: it’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon.
As frustrating as it was to hear early in the season, that saying may be coming to fruition right before our eyes with the 2026 Houston Astros.
Think back to where this team was just a couple of months ago. The sky was falling. Losing streaks piled up. Injuries mounted almost daily. Key players underperformed, and it seemed like every night brought another reason to question whether this team had what it took to contend.
The panic was understandable.
But it was also premature.
Now, as the Astros approach the halfway point of the season, they’re exactly where they need to be.
Despite everything they’ve endured, Houston is just one game out of a Wild Card spot, only three games under .500, and sits just two games behind Seattle in the American League West. Considering how disastrous the first two months felt, that’s an incredible position to be in.
More importantly, this team is getting healthier.
The Astros are finally beginning to resemble the club everyone expected to see when the season began. Their ace and Cy Young candidate is back in the rotation, Christian Javier is expected to return in the near future, and the pitching staff should only continue to improve as everyone gets back to full strength.
The bullpen has also stabilized thanks to Josh Hader. Since returning from injury, Hader has been dominant, giving manager Joe Espada much more flexibility late in games and allowing the rest of the bullpen to settle into more natural roles.
When you combine improved health with better baseball, it’s easy to see why optimism is beginning to replace the panic that surrounded this club earlier in the year.
That’s why all the calls for a complete teardown now seem so misguided.
Remember when some fans and media members were advocating for trading Yordan Alvarez? Others wanted Dana Brown to hold a fire sale, reset the roster, and start rebuilding.
That always felt like an overreaction.
This roster was simply too talented to throw in the towel after a rough start. Injuries were always going to heal. Proven players were eventually going to perform closer to the back of their baseball cards. The Astros simply needed time.
Now they’re proving exactly that.
And here’s the scary part for the rest of the American League.
If Dana Brown can do his job at the trade deadline and add another quality starting pitcher, a reliable bat, or another bullpen arm, this suddenly becomes one of the more dangerous teams in baseball.
No one wants to face a healthy Astros team in October.
Just look at the opponent they’re facing this weekend.
The Detroit Tigers are a perfect example of what real uncertainty looks like. After spending significant money to improve their roster, they’re still trying to figure out whether they’ll re-sign their Cy Young Award winner. They don’t have an MVP-caliber player to anchor their lineup, and they’re facing legitimate questions about the direction of their franchise.
That’s desperation.
The Astros, on the other hand, have a legitimate American League MVP candidate leading their offense. Their pitching is getting healthier by the week, their bullpen is rounding into form, and they remain within striking distance of both a playoff berth and another division title.
That’s not desperation.
That’s opportunity.
Houston has weathered the storm. They survived another one of those rough stretches they’ve experienced in past years, yet they’re still very much in the hunt.
Sometimes surviving the first half is all that matters.
The second half is where championships are built, and if the Astros continue getting healthy while Dana Brown adds a few pieces before the trade deadline, there’s every reason to believe this team won’t just make the playoffs, it could make another deep postseason run.
The marathon is far from over.
But after everything this team has endured, the Astros are exactly where they need to be, and there’s a very good chance their best baseball is still ahead of them.
Ohio State men’s hockey saw four players drafted on Saturday in the 2026 NHL Draft.
Unlike the NFL and NBA Drafts where when a player is drafted they can no longer play at the college level, the NHL allows players to play college hockey and the team that drafts them retains their rights for a certain amount of time.
Then again, using the NBA Draft as an example to describe how college eligibility works might not be the smartest thing to do since we saw some strange rulings over the past year on players who were already drafted and wanted to return to college.
The Buckeyes finished the 2025-26 season with a 14-21-2 record, missing the NCAA Tournament after losing in the Big Ten Tournament Championship Game. All four of the players drafted on Saturday are incoming freshmen and are still scheduled to come to Columbus in the fall to don the scarlet and gray.
With these four additions to the roster, Ohio State could be in for a bounce-back season in 2026-27.
The Las Vegas Golden Knights traded forward Pavel Dorofeyev on Friday to the New York Rangers for a number of draft picks. One of those picks Las Vegas received was the 92nd overall pick, which the Golden Knights used on Saturday to select Ben Wilmott, who will turn 20 years old in August.
The Seattle native split last season between the London Knights and Barrie Colts in the Ontario Hockey League. In 37 games with London, Wilmott scored 12 goals and dished out 22 assists in 37 games. Wilmott would then play in 27 regular season games for Barrie, netting 15 goals and 17 assists before adding 11 goals and 11 assists in 20 games in the playoffs.
What stood out about Wilmott during his time in the OHL is the work he does around the net. Wilmott is a bit of a late bloomer and needs to work on his speed and his play away from the puck. If Wilmott is able to build on what he did in the OHL last year, the rest of the Big Ten could be in trouble this season.
The most notable pick involving an Ohio State player on Saturday was the selection of Evan Jardine by the Columbus Blue Jackets with the 121st overall pick. The Blue Jackets traded down a couple times earlier in the fourth round, accumulating a few more picks before taking Jardine.
While Jardine was already committed to Ohio State, where he is playing his hockey in a few years could just be a few miles down the road from campus.
Jardine has played in the USHL with the Youngstown Phantoms since 2023-24. Last year Jardine not only scored 27 goals and recorded 34 assists, he showed a bit of a mean streak, racking up 70 penalty minutes in 53 games. Much like Wilmott, Jardine has the ability to get under the skin of his opponents.
Jardine has a great mix of skill and grit, which could lead to him being a fan favorite in Columbus for both the Buckeyes and the Blue Jackets.
This season we saw Jakub Dobeš take over as the starting goaltender in Montreal, helping the Canadiens reach the Eastern Conference Finals before they were eventually eliminated by the Carolina Hurricanes, who went on to win the Stanley Cup.
Tobias Tvrznik hopes to find success in the NHL in the future after he was drafted by the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday in the fourth round.
The Czechia product will have a few years before he reaches the NHL, as he won’t even turn 19 until the end of July. Before committing to Ohio State, Tvrznik appeared in 39 games for the Wenatchee Wild of the Western Hockey League, posting a 3.10 goals against average and .913 save percentage.
While the goals against average is a little high, Tvrznik’s save percentage is impressive. With a pretty crowded pipeline at goalie, Tvrznik can afford to spend some time in Columbus to develop.
The final future Buckeye selected on Saturday was Will Tomko, who was drafted by the Seattle Kraken in the seventh round with the 204th overall pick.
There are a lot of similarities between Tomko and Evan Jardine, who was taken in the fourth round by Columbus. Tomko and Jardine are similar in size, standing at six-feet tall and weighing about 185 pounds.
In 59 games with the Sioux City Musketeers, Tomko scored 24 goals and handed out 36 assists. Tomko also spent a lot time in the penalty box, racking up 115 minutes in the sin bin last season. If his play with Sioux City is any indication of what he brings to the table, expect to see Tomko all over the ice during his time as a Buckeye.
Today’s roster move: Here
Sunday notes…
Cubs lineup:
Brewers lineup:
Ryan Rolison has been a pretty effective reliever for the Cubs this year.
He has not allowed a run over his last 14 outings covering 17.1 innings. In that span he has a WHIP of 0.865 and 16 strikeouts. He last threw on Wednesday in Game 1 of the doubleheader against the Mets and threw 18 pitches that day, so he is likely to go maybe four outs into this game, after which it’ll be a full bullpen game. Your guess is as good as mine as to who follows, though it could be newly-acquired Bryse Wilson. As always, we await developments.
Rolison threw 1.2 scoreless innings vs. the Brewers May 20 at Wrigley Field.
Brandon Woodruff has a long injury history. He missed part of 2023, all of 2024 and part of 2025 with various injuries and also has missed some time this year. His start last Monday against the Reds was his first in two months after sitting out with shoulder issues. He threw six shutout innings and struck out 10 in that game, throwing 79 pitches.
His last start against the Cubs was the second game of a doubleheader Aug. 19, 2025 at Wrigley Field, where the Cubs had five hits, three walks and three runs off him in 4.1 innings.
Current Cubs are hitting .269 (28-for-104) against Woodruff with five home runs, three of those by Ian Happ.

The Phillies will go for the series win on Sunday afternoon when they conclude their three-game set against the Mets at Citi Field. After Zack Wheeler pitched them to victory on Friday, the bullpen and lineup faltered on Saturday night.
Jesus Luzardo gets the start coming off of his strange start against the Nationals where he gave up five runs in 6.2 innings while striking out 13 batters.
The Mets appear to be utilizing a bullpen game, with lefthander Cionel Perez getting the ball to start. Perez is 3-3 with a 4.99 ERA in 26 games this season.
Game time is 1:40 PM and will be televised locally by NBCSP.
