The Los Angeles Dodgers head to Cincinnati as heavy favorites, but the marquee matchup on this getaway day is Philadelphia at the Mets, a division-adjacent tilt where both clubs are jockeying for playoff positioning down the stretch. Keep an eye on Milwaukee, who at 95-57 have the best record in baseball and are cruising toward home-field advantage even in a lower-stakes road trip through Pittsburgh.
Also worth a glance: San Diego at Colorado, where the thin Coors Field air tends to inflate the over-under and turn a shaky bullpen outing into a laugher fast.
