Friday’s full MLB slate features 15 matchups on May 29, 2026, with start times spanning from 6:40 PM ET to 10:15 PM ET.
I like a pair of teams playing in the evening on Friday. Both teams are sending starting pitchers to the hill with ERAs of less than 2.80.
Can 25-year-old Twins righty Taj Bradley pitch well enough to earn his sixth win of the season on Friday? Will Marlins starter Max Meyer improve his record to 6-0 in a road matchup with the Mets?
I'll make picks for both games below. Read on for our Friday MLB Predictions May 29 article.

Pick: Miami Marlins +105
