All 16 games and probable pitchers
Every game on the September 4 slate, with first-pitch times in US Eastern and the announced probable pitchers.
Three things that shape the slate
- Braves at Phillies — Chris Sale against Cristopher Sanchez is the best pitching matchup of the night.
- Yankees at Padres — Max Fried and Walker Buehler at Petco, where power output gets flattened.
- A doubleheader in Cleveland — Detroit and Cleveland play twice, and game 1 bullpen usage decides game 2.
