NL East aces step up today on MLB.TV
- Updated: April 24, 2016
Today is a Sunday, which means it’s a great time to get your fix of afternoon baseball.
The full 15-game slate includes 14 day games, beginning with the Rays and Yankees, whose first pitch from the Bronx is set for 1:05 p.m. ET. The schedule eventually will finish up under the lights in Houston, where the Astros host the Red Sox at 8:05.
In between, the Nationals’ Stephen Strasburg, the Mets’ Jacob deGrom and the Indians’ Carlos Carrasco are among the pitchers who will take the mound for their clubs, live on MLB.TV.
MLB.TV Premium returns with the same features as last year, but at $109.99, it is a full 20 bucks cheaper than the 2015 cost.

During that span, he has struck out 11.6 batters and walked 1.5 per nine innings. Strasburg will make his first career appearance against the Twins as the Nationals go for a home sweep.
