There is always baseball happening almost too much baseball for one person to follow themselves. Don't worry, we're here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: After a win on April 7 the fourth in a row for New York the Mets were 7-4 and had a +18 run differential. They then lost 12 games in a row. The streak ended on April 22, the day superstar outfielder Juan Soto returned to the lineup from the IL, but New York is just 3-4 since he was activated. The problems ran deeper than just what Soto could solve by coming back, and now we have seen that play out as the Mets are 10-20 the worst record in the league with a -34 run differential. They have been outscored by 52 runs over their last 19 games, with Wednesdays 14-2 drubbing at the hands of the Nationals responsible for getting those numbers back up into horrifying territory. As if to make the point that Sotos return wasnt enough on its own, he hit a homer for the second day in a row to cut Washingtons lead to 2-1. The Nats responded by scoring seven runs in the very next inning. Starter David Peterson was still in the game at this point, and even got the first batter of the inning, shortstop CJ Abrams, to strike out swinging. Center fielder Jacob Young followed with a walk, though, then left fielder Daylen Lile singled him into scoring position. The last of the outfielders, Joey Wiemer, singled in Young to put Washington up 3-2, then second baseman Nasim Nunez walked to load the bases. While Peterson managed to get the second out on another strikeout, he then walked in a run with designated hitter James Wood up to bat, forcing the Mets to make a change. Sean Manaea entered with the bases still juiced, but things did not improve. He hit the first batter he faced, first baseman Curtis Mead, and then third baseman Brady House hit a grand slam on a sub-90 mph four-seam fastball left up in the strike zone. The Nationals had now batted around, and Abrams even lashed a double in his second time up. The Mets escaped giving up any more runs, however but only in that inning. New York would allow another five before the game mercifully ended, with Peterson responsible for seven runs and Manaea the next six. Its wild not meaningful, just wild to beat a team 8-0 one day then lose by 12 the next, but thats the 2026 Mets right now. The lineup doesnt hit enough most of the time, and the starting pitching veers between excellent (Clay Holmes, Nolan McLean) and atrocious (Peterson, Kodai Senga) with the bullpen having a similarly worrisome dichotomy. Injuries are a problem, of course Soto, as well as shortstop Francisco Lindor and DH (?) Jorge Polanco but so too was the "I can fix him" mentality surrounding pickups like Luis Robert Jr., who has hit .224/.327/.329 this season; or, right in line with his last two seasons. Throw in Marcus Semiens bat continuing its mid-30s decline and Soto being the only regular with an above-average bat to this point, and you have the 2026 Mets. The Braves started out in this game against the Tigers in a way that implied good things were going to happen, but Atlanta had to wait a lot longer than expected for that next good thing to actually occur. You would think that a two-run homer off the defending AL Cy Young winner, Tarik Skubal, meant that a big night was coming for the offense, but no: Skubal locked things down and gave uponly this two-run shot to second baseman Ozzie Albies and nothing else. That gave the Tigers time to recover, and they did. Center fielder Wenceel Perez hit a two-out double to left in the very next half-inning, then DH Jace Jung walked to put two on for shortstop and leadoff hitter Kevin McGonigle. The rookie singled to center, putting Detroit on the board, then a throwing error by Braves starter JR Ritchie on a pickoff attempt led to a tie game. The next inning, left fielder Riley Greene put the Tigers ahead with a solo shot, his fourth of the season. That would be it for either side for some time, though. Skubal settled in, but so did Ritchie, as he got through 2.1 more innings before he was listed without giving up another run. The Braves bullpen would come in and strike out six of the 11 batters it faced, without giving up a walk, hit or run, setting Atlanta up for the dramatic finish in the bottom of the ninth. Tigers closer Kenley Jansen came in to wrap up the one-run game, but instead, leadoff batter Albies walked and first baseman Matt Olson went yard right after. Atlanta still has the best record and run differential in the majors, and while the quality of the Tigers as a whole is an open question, winning a game that Skubal starts is no joke. The back-to-back Cy Young winner has just a 2.70 ERA on the season, and thats the highest its been since 2023. The Braves got their walk-off dinger, but not everyone was so lucky. The Pirates certainly tried to go yard for the W against St. Louis, but it just wasnt in the cards. Or Cards, if you will. The scene: The Cardinals are up 5-4 in the ninth, but they were at one point up 3-0. Pittsburgh chipped away little by little, between the fifth and eighth innings, and had one more chance to add on at home in the ninth. While right fielder Bryan Reynolds led off the frame with his fourth out of the game and DH Marcell Ozuna made it just a 1-for-5 night for the second, in between, first baseman Ryan OHearn singled. That brought second baseman Nick Gonzales up with the tying run on and two outs, while he represented the winning run. And he almost got the storybook ending out of the scenario, too, but left fielder Ryan Church was right where he needed to be. It wasnt the prettiest grab at the wall youll ever see, but it counts the same in the boxscore as the most majestic home run robberies. And it ended the game, too, giving St. Louis the dub. One reason that the Braves still have the best record in baseball at this point? The Marlins just took a series from the Dodgers. And did so on the road at Dodger Stadium, too, the first time that Miami has managed that feat in nearly a decade, as the last time occurred in 2018. Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow was not at his sharpest: he struck out nine and allowed just three hits, but he also walked six Marlins in 5.2 innings and gave up two runs. Just two runs is a pretty great day considering those walks, but Glasnow was certainly doing a tightrope act against Miami. Will Klein got through one inning of relief for the Dodgers to keep the game tied up 2-2 heading into the bottom of the seventh, but the Dodgers tried to get another inning out of him in the eighth, but the Marlins strung together a couple of singles from second baseman Xavier Edwards and left fielder Javier Sanoja, who had entered the game earlier as a pinch-hitter, to take a 3-2 lead. Things got a little weird in the bottom of the ninth with the Dodgers attempting to rally against new pitcher Calvin Faucher. Shortstop Hyeseong Kim led off with a walk following a failed ABS challenge from Miami, then left fielder Alex Call picked up his own to put two on and no outs. The Marlins got their first out on a sac bunt that moved the runners over, and then intentionally walked designated hitter Shohei Ohtani for a litany of reasons. While the Dodgers lineup depth means the threat doesnt end with Ohtani, here, it did: first baseman Freddie Freeman hit a chopper right to Edwards at second, and Ohtani got caught in a rundown as he was way off the bag at the point the ball was scooped up. This led to an unassisted double play when Ohtani couldnt get away from Edwards right next to first base. The Mets werent the only team to get crushed on Wednesday: in fact, the Reds were hit so hard that they now have a negative run differential despite sitting atop the NL Central. The Rockies who now have thesame negative run differential of -5 as Cincinnati after this win came out of the gate in attack mode. With the bases loaded in the top of the first, catcher Brett Sullivan hit a bases-clearing, two-out triple to put Colorado up 3-0. The Rockies would add another run in the third on a double by second baseman Willi Castro, then again in the fifth when DH Hunter Goodman hit his eighth long ball of the season and then Goodman would clear the fence again in the seventh for his ninth. Colorado was up 7-0 at this point, but they werent done yet an eighth run scored on a sac fly post-Goodman, and then the Rockies piled on in the ninth with another five runs. Jose Trevino came on in relief for Cincinnati, and things did not go well: he allowed six hits and all five runs were earned, and all the two runs the Reds scored in the bottom of the inning did was keep them from being shut out. The Rockies are now a full game up on the Giants in the NL West, as San Franciscos game with the Phillies was postponed into a doubleheader on Thursday. Colorado, meanwhile, has a chance to win the series their second series W in a row if they can beat Cincinnati again on Thursday. Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer has been on the IL for the past couple of weeks with a broken toe, with his last game action coming on April 11. Torontos manager, John Schneider, knew just what was needed to get Springer back in business: warmed-up bats. But hey, Schneiders plan worked. Springer came in as a pinch-hitter for Yohendrick Pinango in the bottom of the fifth, and promptly singled in first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to put the Blue Jays up 6-1 on the Red Sox. Given Toronto would win 8-1, maybe Schneider warmed up everyones bats before the game. The Angels are a mess, but theres something to hold onto, at least, that hasnt been the case for a few years now: Mike Trout has been an extremely dangerous hitter again, and on Wednesday he hit his 10th home run of the season. It wasnt the titanic shot hes had a few of this season, sure, as it went just 364 feet and didnt crack a triple-digit exit velocity, but they dont all have to be majestic blasts. And this one still got out of there in a hurry. Trout is now batting .248/.431/.569 while leading the majors in walks with 32. Hes been dangerous hence all those free passes and the result so far is a .999 OPS, which also happens to be what he finished the 2022 season with, the last time he looked like this much of a problem at the plate for opposing pitchers. Oh, and Trout as well as James Wood are the only other players besides Barry Bonds to have at least 10 home runs and 30 walks through the end of April, perBaseball Reference. Hes already surpassed his end-of-season wins above replacement for both 2024 and 2025, to boot the Angels might be bad, but baseball is better when Mike Trout is good. The Diamondbacks won against the Brewers on Thursday, 6-2, thanks to a four-run fourth inning that included dingers from backstop Adrian Del Castillo and third baseman Nolan Arenado a feat repeated in the ninth when second baseman Ketel Marte and right fielder Corbin Carroll added some insurance for Arizona by going back-to-back. The highlight of the game, though, came from first baseman Ildemaro Vargas, who went 2-for-5 with a run to extend his hitting streak to 25 games. The streak began right at the end of 2025, and Vargas has batted an MLB-best .372 in his 22 games this season. Hes not just hitting for average, however, as Vargas who has already played at six positions for the Diamondbacks in 2026 has a line of .372/.393/.698. That slugging percentage also leads the National League, on account of his high batting average and 14 extra-base hits. Arizonas franchise record, by the way, is 30 games, set by Luis Gonzalez in 1999. You cant get too excited in either direction over a 14-game stretch, but Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong has looked awful at the plate since the All-Star break last season. A 14-game stretch where hes hitting pretty well can offer nothing but hope, considering. Against the Padres, PCA went yard in the fourth inning with a 357-footer to right field. His OPS+ for the season is now up to 94 and his unadjusted OPS is at .669, neither of which seems great until you remember he was at just .504 two weeks ago. Hes hit .288/.383/.481 with a pair of homers and five extra-base hits overall in his last 15 games, which would be huge for the Cubs if it represents some actual improvement in his swing first, ask no questions later approach at the plate thats dragged down his numbers for months. Armstrongs power is tremendous, but he also chases and makes poor decisions at the plate: if he can settle in a bit more and stop being exploited by pitchers so regularly, well. Even an average Pete Crow-Armstrong at the plate is a serious player with the glove he has, but he has the potential to be better than that if he, too, can adjust.

Joel Embiid led the charge with 33 points and 8 assists, while Tyrese Maxey added 25 points and 10 rebounds. For Boston, Jayson Tatum posted 24 points and 16 rebounds in the loss, but the Celtics shot just 36-89 from the field and were outscored from beyond the arc (15 three-pointers for Philadelphia vs. 11 for Boston).The central storyline is whether Philadelphia's elite duo of Embiid and Maxey can defend their home floor against Boston superstars Tatum and Jaylen Brown. As both squads enter fully healthy without any reported injuries, we will break down the tactical matchups, key statistics, and betting angles ahead of tip-off. The game is scheduled for 8:00 PM ET at Xfinity Mobile Arena, broadcasting live on Peacock and NBC Sports.Celtics vs 76ers best props for Game 6The data-driven win probabilities favor the visiting Celtics to close out the series. Despite playing on the road at Xfinity Mobile Arena, Boston holds a 66% chance of securing the victory. The numbers suggest a steep uphill battle for the home-court 76ers, who carry just a 34% win probability. This gap reflects strong statistical confidence in the Celtics' ability to finish the job and advance, even after dropping Game 5.Celtics vs 76ers team stats and key matchupsPhiladelphia enters Game 6 with renewed confidence after its 113-97 Game 5 win. Joel Embiid exploded for 33 points on 12-of-23 shooting, while Tyrese Maxey contributed 25 points and 5 assists. The 76ers shot 50% from the field and hit 15 three-pointers in that contest, proving they can match Boston's perimeter firepower when clicking on all cylinders.So, how do the two teams stack up against each other across this series? Through five postseason games, Boston has consistently dictated the pace. The Celtics average a potent 110.6 points and 25.8 assists per game, eclipsing Philadelphia's 102.2 points and 21 assists. The most glaring mismatch lies on the glass. Boston is pulling down a commanding 47.6 rebounds per night compared to Philadelphia's 39.2, generating critical second-chance opportunities that have worn the 76ers down. Defensively, both squads are averaging 4.6 blocks, though Philadelphia takes slightly better care of the ball, committing just 9.8 turnovers per game to Boston's 12.The defining key matchups will dictate whether the 76ers force a Game 7. Joel Embiid, who is averaging a massive 29.5 points in his two series appearances, must leverage his interior presence to mitigate Boston's rebounding edge. On the perimeter, Tyrese Maxey (averaging 25.6 points and 6.8 assists) has to match firepower with Boston's elite wings. Jaylen Brown is tearing through Philadelphia's defense with 25.8 points per game, while Jayson Tatum is stuffing the stat sheet with 24.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 7.6 assists. If the 76ers cannot bridge the rebounding deficit and slow down Boston's dynamic duo, the Celtics will punch their ticket to the second round.Best player props for Celtics vs 76ers Game 61. Jayson Tatum 10+ Rebounds (52% on Kalshi)Tatum has been a monster on the boards throughout this series, averaging 10.6 rebounds per game. He has cleared double-digit rebounds in three of five games (16, 14, and 11), and even his lower outputs (7 and 5) came in blowout wins where he played reduced minutes. With Game 6 expected to be a tightly contested elimination game, Tatum should log heavy minutes and continue to attack the glass against a Philadelphia team that has struggled on the boards all series.2. Tyrese Maxey Over 25+ Points (51% on Kalshi)Maxey has been the most consistent scorer in this series regardless of game outcome. His scoring outputs across all five games read 21, 29, 31, 22, and 25 points, giving him a 25.6 points per game average on 43% shooting from the field and 39% from three. Facing elimination at home, expect Maxey to carry an even heavier offensive load. He is averaging over 40 minutes per game in this series and has the green light to fire at will with a usage rate of 29%.3. Jaylen Brown Over 25+ Points (58% on Kalshi)Brown has been Boston's most aggressive scorer this series, averaging 25.8 points on 47% shooting from the field and 44% from three. He is also getting to the free-throw line at a high rate (6.8 attempts per game) and leads the Celtics with a 32% usage rate. In a potential closeout game, Brown tends to elevate his intensity. He has scored 25 or more in three of five games this series (26, 36, and 25), and his ability to attack the paint (9.6 points in the paint per game) gives him multiple paths to reaching this number.Celtics vs 76ers prediction for Game 6Heading into Game 6, the numbers still point to the Boston Celtics punching their ticket to the second round. Armed with a 66% win probability and a completely clean injury report, Boston enters Xfinity Mobile Arena looking to close things out despite dropping Game 5.The 76ers showed they can compete in this series with their 113-97 Game 5 victory, a game where Joel Embiid (33 points, 8 assists) and Tyrese Maxey (25 points, 10 rebounds) were dominant. Philadelphia shot 50% from the field and hit 15 threes in that win, proving their offense can fire at a high level. Still, one strong performance does not erase the broader trends in this series.Throughout the five games, Boston has relentlessly dominated the rebounding battle, pulling down 47.6 boards per game to Philadelphia's 39.2. That disparity has translated into 16.8 second-chance points per night for the Celtics, exhausting a Philadelphia defense that is already struggling to contain Jayson Tatum (24.6 points, 10.6 rebounds) and Jaylen Brown (25.8 points). While Embiid (averaging 29.5 points) and Maxey (25.6 points) are elite competitors who will undoubtedly leave everything on their home floor, the 76ers lack the secondary scoring punch needed to keep pace with a Celtics roster firing on all cylinders. Boston's bench has outscored Philadelphia's 35.6 to 22.2 per game in this series, a depth advantage that wears opponents down over the course of a long game.With both teams fully healthy, this matchup will come down to offensive execution and controlling the paint. Boston's superior ball movement (25.8 assists per game compared to Philadelphia's 21) paired with their overwhelming rebounding advantage will eventually wear the 76ers down. Expect Philadelphia to keep it highly competitive early behind a desperate push from Embiid and Maxey, but Boston's reliable wing scoring and second-chance generation should pull them away in the second half.Prediction: Boston Celtics 112, Philadelphia 76ers 106
