Today’s MLB Lineups: Full Projected Batting Orders and Starting Pitchers for Cubs, Dodgers, Braves & More | 19 April 2025
As the 2025 MLB season continues, squads like the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves are fighting through early-season struggles and looking to find consistency.
The Cubs just had their way in a wild 13–11 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, led by Carson Kelly's two homers and six-run outburst in the eighth inning. Even without ace Justin Steele's loss to season-ending elbow surgery, Chicago's offense, spearheaded by Ian Happ, Seiya Suzuki and new acquisition Kyle Tucker, remains productive, sitting atop MLB with 137 runs scored.
Meanwhile, the Dodgers are flexing their pitching muscle, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto dominating in a recent 3–0 shutout of the Texas Rangers. In Atlanta.
The Braves have maintained their good start with a thrilling 6–4 comeback victory against the Minnesota Twins, their ninth in a row over Minnesota since August 2019. Ozzie Albies, Michael Harris II and rookie Drake Baldwin provided key contributions as they came back to win the game. Baldwin had the winning two-run single in the eighth inning.
Here are the predicted batting lineups and starting pitchers for today's games, based on the most current team news and player action.
