The MLB announced the schedule for Friday Night Baseball games for the first half of the season, so we know all of the marquee matchups through June 28.

Friday Night Baseball action will kick off on Friday, March 29, with one of the biggest double-headers of the year. The New York Yankees, the best team in the history of baseball with 27 World Series titles, will take on the Houston Astros, the league’s best winners over the last handful of seasons. Houston has made it to the ALCS in each of the last seven seasons, and they advanced to the World Series in four of those years.

That game will be followed by a game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals. With the acquisitions of Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Los Angeles had arguably the biggest offseason in the history of baseball. They take on a Cardinals team that has finished first or second in the AL Central 18 times this century but will be looking for redemption after placing last in the division for the first time in that span last year. The complete Friday Night Baseball schedule is below.
