MLB Probable Pitchers for Thursday, June 30 (Who's Starting for Every MLB Team Today?)
Two heavyweight matchups take center stage on Thursday's MLB slate, highlighted by the appearance of one of the best pitchers in baseball in the nightcap.
Padres starter Joe Musgrove (8-1, 2.12 ERA) is second in the odds to win NL Cy Young at +500. He faces off against the Dodgers and starter Mitch White in a battle for the NL West lead, which the Dodgers currently have a one-game lead in, as well as the best record in the NL along with the Mets.
In Texas, meanwhile, the Yankees and Astros renew their battle for one night only after splitting their four-game series in the Bronx this past weekend. This is a make-up game from April so, alas, it will only last today with Luis Severino and Luis Garcia starting for the Yankees and Astros, respectively. Still, with the way the weekend series went, I think we can expect more suspense.
It's a typical lighter Thursday schedule with teams traveling for weekend series, but we do have afternoon baseball to enjoy when the Twins and Guardians play at 1 ET and we also get four of the best teams in baseball playing against each other. Doesn't get much better than that.
