This PHP script is supposed to scrape MLB scores from ESPN but stopped working recently.

Fetching MLB Scores for isPizzaHalfPrice

I'm no PHP expert but I gave a look and I don't see anything wrong with the code.
I'm not sure what the rest of your bot code looks like, but my guess is that the MLB website changed a bit and the output no longer works with your other code?

Your Game Objects look like this, which seems like an output that's workable for whatever code it feeds into

Game Object ( [espn_id] => MLB-s:1l:10e:401354657 [date] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2022-05-08 11:35:00.000000 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => America/New_York ) [home_team] => MLB2 [visiting_team] => MLB4 [home_score] => 2 [visiting_score] => 3 [is_preseason] => 0 ) 1
