Two National League Central squads finish the regular season against each other as Jose Trevino and the Cincinnati Reds travel to American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to play Blake Perkins and the 2025 NL Central champion Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday, September 27, at 7:00 PM ET on Fox, featuring play-by-play commentator Alex Faust and analyst and 2005 World Series champion AJ Pierzynski. Somehow, the Cincinnati Reds are still alive for a playoff spot in the National League thanks to the Mets' late-season meltdown. By the way, Cincinnati has a tiebreaker over the Mets in case the squads share the same record at the end of the regular season. This is a must-win series for Cincinnati to keep its dreams alive of making the 2025 playoff field. As for Milwaukee, they have already clinched a first-round bye and the NL Central title. What's left for them to do? Get the #1 seed and home-field advantage through the NLDS and the NLCS. One win during this series and the Brewers will have it.
Two American League teams meet in Cleveland as Ezequiel Durán and the Texas Rangers square off against Angel Martinez and the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday, September 27, at 7:00 PM ET on Fox, as Wayne Randazzo (play-by-play), Hall of Famer John Smoltz (analyst), and Emmy Award winner Ken Rosenthal (reporter) provide coverage. The Rangers were eliminated from the postseason earlier this week, so this game and series are meaningless. However, the Guardians have a chance to finish off an amazing story that nobody saw coming. In early July, the Guardians trailed the Tigers by 15 1/2 games. And now, Cleveland is tied with Detroit for the AL Central lead entering the last regular season weekend. The Guardians own a head-to-head tiebreaker with the Tigers in case they finish the regular season tied with the same record.

Hi Tamir,
ReplyDeleteThis website has been a great find for me and you produce very useful content; I particularly enjoy how you list announcers for national games like these (other similar resources tend to ignore national TV baseball, so this can be hard to find) and what percentage of the country is getting which games.
So I beg you though to PLEEEASE consider changing to a font that's easier to read. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
@KevinBeane Hi Kevin! Thank you so much for the kind words, bro! That means a lot. I changed the font from "Impact" to "Roboto". Please let me know if this new font choice helps you navigate through the site easier. Thank you.
