Please continue this week's MLB on Fox: On Deck article for the answers that you are requesting.
We will be watching an interleague showdown that has tons of intrigue behind it as Edmundo Sosa and the Philadelphia Phillies hit the road for a matchup against Josh Jung and the Texas Rangers on Saturday, August 9, at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox. Of course, since these two teams play in different leagues, it is rare to see the Phillies & Rangers play. But this weekend, these clubs will battle it out from Globe Life Field in Arlington, with both teams having their eyes 👁 on the postseason. Last year, the Phillies swept the Rangers in a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Both teams have been a heater since the July All-Star Break, each going 11-6 in 17 second-half MLB games. Kyle Schwarber is having an outstanding season for the Phillies. Schwarber has mashed 40 home runs, driven in 94 runs, and has an on-base percentage of .382. The Rangers are playing with immense confidence right now, as the team has revived hopes of a potential playoff run with a remarkable stretch of play in recent weeks. Adolis Garcia, Marcus Semien, and Josh Jung are clobbering home runs. 37-year-old Jacob deGrom is experiencing a career resurgence in 2025, with a 10-4 record in 22 starts. 🎙 Announcers are TBD.
"Baseball Night in America" goes to "The Gateway to the West", St. Louis, Missouri, for a National League Central clash as Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs battle Victor Scott II and the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday, August 9, at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox. These bitter rivals are matching up for the third time this season. The Cubs have won 4 of 7 games against the Cardinals this season. With both teams in the playoff hunt, this is a crucial series for both sides. Recently, the Cubs obtained a series victory vs. the Orioles. Chicago is looking to keep pace with Christian Yelich and the scorching-hot Milwaukee Brewers for first place in the National League Central. Meanwhile, St. Louis has crumbled to open up the second half of the regular season, dropping 11 of 17 games. The Cardinals have to get back on track with this division series vs. the Cubs. Pete Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki are blasting home runs for the Cubs. 34-year-old Cubs starting pitcher Matthew Boyd is having a fine season for Chicago, recording 11 wins in 22 starts thus far. Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras is the lone player on the team to pound in at least 60 runs. Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray leads the pitching staff with wins (10) and strikeouts (141). 🎙 Announcers are TBD.
