MLB Probable Pitchers for Thursday, September 15 (Who's Starting for Every MLB Team Today?)
By Ben Heisler
There's only eight Major League games taking place this Thursday, but several of them have major ramifications as the playoff races heat up.
The Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians make up a matchup from August 21 at 1:10 p.m ET from Progressive Field, as Chicago looks to inch closer to their four-game deficit in the division.
A few hours later in Toronto, the Blue Jays hope to increase their lead in the AL Wild Card race over the Tampa Bay Rays as both team's aces in Shane McClanahan and Kevin Gausman face off.
While the bulk of the evening slate features lots of winning teams vs. struggling squads, it's worth noting that after being swept by the Chicago Cubs at home, the New York Mets are now clinging onto a half-game lead over the Atlanta Braves in the NL East. They'll need to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates to move back to a full game in the division.
