LA Dodgers at Arizona 9:40 ET

Diamondbacks over Dodgers-The Los Angeles Dodgers were swept in the 2023 postseason by the Arizona Diamondbacks, who went on to compete in the World Series. Winning one regular-season game surely doesn't equate as payback but the Dodgers will take it. In the teams' first meeting since the postseason. Left-hander Jordan Montgomery (1-1, 2.77 ERA) will make his third start of the season for the Diamondbacks. Montgomery won his Arizona debut against the San Francisco Giants on April 19 before losing to the St. Louis Cardinals last Wednesday. He allowed three runs and seven hits in seven innings in the setback. Montgomery, 31, is 0-2 with a 5.91 ERA in two career starts against the Dodgers. Dodgers right-hander Landon Knack (1-1, 3.27) will make his third career start. Both of Knack's other two major league appearances were against the Washington Nationals. He gave up two runs in each, losing on April 17 and winning last Wednesday. Take ARIZONA!

San Francisco at Boston 7:10 ET

Giants over Red Sox- Right-hander Logan Webb will try to extend his career-best 19-inning scoreless streak Tuesday night when the visiting San Francisco Giants open a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox. Webb (3-1, 2.33 ERA) tossed eight scoreless innings to help the Giants defeat the New York Mets 5-1 last Tuesday. It was his third victory in as many starts. Webb is 0-1 with a 4.38 ERA in two career appearances (both starts) against the Red Sox. Boston will send righty Cooper Criswell (1-1, 2.38 ERA) to the mound Tuesday. The Giants' rotation has a 0.95 ERA over the past seven games. Take SAN FRANCISCO!

New York at Baltimore 6:40 ET

Yankees over Orioles- New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes looks to continue his success against the host Baltimore Orioles when the teams play the middle game of a three-game series on Tuesday. Cortes (1-2, 3.50 ERA) is 4-0 with a 1.99 ERA in nine games, seven starts, versus the Orioles. It is his best ERA against any team he has faced more than once. Cortes has gone seven or more innings in three of his six starts. Right-hander Dean Kremer (1-2, 4.61 ERA) will make his sixth start of the season for Baltimore. Kremer earned his first win in his most recent outing, when he limited the Los Angeles Angels to two runs on three hits over 5 1/3 innings on Wednesday.

Indiana at Milwaukee 9:30 ET

Bucks (-) over Pacers-  Third-seeded Milwaukee aims to keep its season going Tuesday night when it hosts the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference first-round series. Sixth-seeded Indiana holds a 3-1 series lead. The Bucks have been without two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) for the entire series and lost star guard Damian Lillard (Achilles) with an injury late in Game 3. Regardless of who is available for the Bucks in the must-win game. The Bucks have badly missed Antetokounmpo in the series, but his teammates understand that he hasn't been able to physically go against Indiana. The Pacers dropped the first game of the best-of-seven series before winning the last three contests. It is ‘Do or die’...take MILWAUKEE!

Orlando at Cleveland 8:00 ET

Magic (+) over Cavaliers- The Cleveland Cavaliers recorded a pair of convincing victories at home to open their Eastern Conference first-round series before the Magic held serve in Orlando during the next two games. The fourth-seeded Cavaliers look to rebound following a second-half collapse in their last contest when they host the fifth-seeded Magic. They mustered just 10 points in the third quarter and were outscored 61-29 in the second half of Saturday's 112-89 setback. The Cavaliers couldn't throw it in the ocean from 3-point range. They made just 4 of 17 attempts, with Darius Garland going 2-for-5 to lead the team. Cleveland has failed to score 100 points in seven consecutive playoff games dating back to last year. In a surprise take ORLANDO!

Philadelphia at New York 7:00 ET

76ers (+) over Knicks-The Knicks are hoping to avoid a return trip to Philadelphia on Thursday night after they took over Game 4 by rallying from a 12-point deficit in the first half. New York won the first two games at home by a combined 10 points.Knicks rallied from a double-digit deficit for the second time in the series. The Knicks are attempting to reach the second round in consecutive seasons for the first time since doing it in nine straight postseasons from 1992-2000. Last season, they advanced out of the first round by winning Game 5 at Cleveland after winning Games 3 and 4 at home. Philadelphia is on the verge of its second opening-round exit when making the playoffs in the Embiid era. This time take PHILADELPHIA!
