The venues of the NL Central are the focal point of Wednesday’s TV daily sports schedule, with matinee action in the afternoon and then prime-time on ESPN. Baseball fans can tune into the MLB Network at 12:30 PM ET for a getaway game between the Oakland A’s and Cincinnati Reds.

Then ESPN takes over at 8 PM ET—note that it’s one hour later than the normal start time—for the Dodgers-Cardinals from Busch Stadium. All four teams are on a pace to make the playoffs, all four are in hot races, so it adds up to a good baseball TV day.

The week of the Harbaugh Family’s conquest of the American sports culture isn’ t limited to Sunday night’s Super Bowl in New Orleans (6:30 PM ET, CBS). Nope, before Baltimore and San Francisco tee it up, the extended family gets into the act. The sister of the Brothers Harbaugh is married to Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean, and his Hoosiers are not only in the spotlight on the weekend, but they have a Saturday night prime-time date with Michigan (9 PM ET, ESPN).

It all sets the stage for a weekend of basketball that’s highlighted by a great Sunday card.
