MLB Schedule Monday May 17: Boston Red Sox Open Series with Yankees in New York, Giants and Padres Square Off in NL West Showdown

The MLB schedule for Monday has all 30 teams in action with the big match-up being the New York Yankees hosting the Boston Red Sox for the first time this season. The Yankees have gotten the best of the Red Sox in a pair of series in Boston, going 4-2 against heir rival and now the series shifts to NY for a two-game series.

 

New York will be sending Phil Hughes to the hill on Monday and his 5-0 record includes a win over the Red Sox earlier this month. Boston will counter with Daisuke Matsuzaka who is coming off his best performance of the year, allowing just three hits and one run over seven innings against the Toronto Blue Jays.

 

Over in the National League a pair of surprise teams will be fighting for the National League West lead. The Padres had a comfortable lead in the division but have dropped three straight while the Giants have won three in a row to get to within ½ game of first place.

 

While the Padres and Giants battle the Los Angeles Dodgers will hope to continue their surge in the NL West as they host the Houston Astros. LA has won seven straight and are the hottest team in baseball while the Astros own the worst record in the NL.

 

Back in the American League a big series between the Texas Rangers and LA Angels will be getting underway as well. The Angels got off to a brutal start but are now within 2 ½ games of the Rangers, thanks in large part to Texas dropping three straight.
