MLB Lineups Today: Complete Batting Orders and Starting Pitchers for Braves vs. Red Sox, Angels vs. Dodgers & More

Saturday’s MLB action brings a stacked 15-game slate, headlined by storylines you won’t want to miss. Over at Fenway Park, it’s a crossroads clash as the Atlanta Braves, square off against a spiraling Boston Red Sox club desperate to halt a four-game skid.

Lucas Giolito takes the ball for Boston, searching for rhythm against a red-hot Atlanta offense led by Matt Olson’s resurgent power surge. Meanwhile, the Braves hand the ball to Grant Holmes, aiming to lock down his third win of the year.

Out west, Dodger Stadium turns electric as Clayton Kershaw makes his long-awaited 2025 season debut under the lights. The LA Dodgers, sitting comfortably atop the NL West, look to shake off Friday night’s stumble against the LA Angels team paced by Moncada and Nolan Schanuel. Tyler Anderson, boasting a stingy 2.58 ERA, will try to spoil the party and steal a series lead for the Halos.

It’s a heavyweight Saturday, packed with ace showdowns, rivalry sparks and under-the-radar breakout candidates poised to make noise.
