What to look for

The written preview lands about a day and a half before the game, once the lineups, the injuries and the market have settled. Until then the boards below carry the matchup: recent form, how the two sides compare, and where each of them sits.

The full preview, matchup keys, probable starters and the storylines to watch, posts closer to game time, once lineups are set.

Projected starting lineups

Taken from each club's most recent lineup. The official cards post 2 to 3 hours before first pitch, so a name here can still be scratched, and the batting order is the likelier thing to move than the nine men in it.

A day-to-day designation still allows a start, so a name here is not always a scratch; an injured-list stint is.
