Sports

Marlins vs Phillies, Mets vs Jays and the White Sox vs the Orioles tonight at bet365 online sportsbook.

The Major League of Baseball is almost through to the halfway point and with the All Star game just around the corner teams are giving it everything they've got to better their position before the second half. The divisions are tight and there are only a few games separating 1st and 2nd place in each one.

There are 3 games starting at 1:05am UK time and they represent 1st place races in 3 divisions that could alter the course of the regular season altogether.

Miami Marlins vs Philadelphia Phillies

The Phillies are at home before their beloved fans to try to take out the Marlins. Both teams are in 3rd place in their respective divisions but they are both close to top spot and tonight's game means a lot for the rest of the year. The Marlins are going with their big right-hander Nathan Eovaldi who has struggled as of late but hopefully he can pull it together tonight. In the other dugout, the home team Phillies will be giving the start to Roberto Hernandez another rightie.

New York Mets vs Toronto Blue Jays

The Blue Jays are atop the AL Eastern and the Mets are at the bottom of the NL East. The Jays see this game as a chance to get back to their winning ways at home and send a message to the Yankees and the rest of the teams in the AL East. The Mets will need 9 solid innings on defense and on the bats if they are to have any chance tonight. Look for a heavy hitting game in Toronto with the home team ready to do some damage.

Chicago White Sox vs Baltimore Orioles

The Orioles have a chance to get back into the first place race in the AL East with a win tonight. Behind both the Yankees and the Blue Jays, the Orioles need a big night from their lefty Wei-Yin Chen. The Sox are not having the season they wanted and need to hold on against this Baltimore team that have been proving naysayers wrong since day 1.
