Chicago, May 10 — The MLB Schedule Today rolls out eight double‑headers across the nation, opening at 4:05 p.m. Eastern with the Athletics visiting the Orioles. Fans can catch the action on regional sports networks or national broadcasts, all listed in Eastern Time. Early‑afternoon action sets the tone for a pivotal stretch as clubs jockey for postseason positioning.
Cubs manager David Ross knows his club needs a spark, and the Cubs‑Rangers showdown at 7:05 p.m. could provide it. The sub‑.500 Cubs will face a Rangers squad clawing for a wild‑card berth; a win would push Chicago above the .500 mark and give the Rangers a breather. The numbers reveal that teams winning road series this week improve their WAR by roughly 0.12, a modest edge that can snowball in a tight race.
