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

As the 2025 MLB season barrels toward the summer grind, May 19 arrives with a slate packed with both marquee names and unexpected call-ups.

The Mets head to Fenway Park for a primetime battle against a surging Red Sox squad, while over on the West Coast, the Diamondbacks look to cool off the red-hot Dodgers. It’s the kind of night where rookies could steal headlines and veterans might deliver signature performances, with playoff races quietly tightening even in May.

Adding to the intrigue, several clubs are dealing with key absences and last-minute pitching adjustments, forcing managers into creative lineup constructions. Depth players are being thrust into crucial roles, while hot-hitting outfielders and resurgent arms aim to extend their momentum.

Whether you’re tracking fantasy lineups, scouting daily prop bets, or just settling in for some evening baseball, we’ve rounded up the batting order and starting pitchers confirmed for today’s matchups.
