Today’s MLB Lineups: Full projected batting orders and starting pitchers for Dodgers, Phillies, Guardians & more | 16 April 2025
The 2025 MLB season has showcased exciting matchups and standout performances. Teams are seemingly finding their rhythm, some on winning streaks and others recovering from slow starts.
One team in the spotlight ahead of Wednesday's matchday is the Cleveland Guardians. They have won six of their last seven thanks to Logan Allen's pitching and some timely knocks from Steven Kwan and Angel Martinez.
Friday's game slate includes some intriguing matchups: San Francisco Giants vs. Philadelphia Phillies, Cleveland Guardians vs. Baltimore Orioles and Houston Astros vs. St. Louis Cardinals.
Meanwhile, the Orioles (6-10; fifth in AL East) seek redemption for Tuesday's 6-3 defeat against the in-form Guardians, who are second on the AL Central table.
Lastly, the St. Louis Cardinals host the Houston Astros at Busch Stadium, and both teams are targeting momentum within their respective divisions.
