The morning line

MLB The marquee matchup is Atlanta Braves at New York Mets, with the Braves clinging to the top of the NL East race while the Mets play spoiler at home, so watch how the heart of the order handles a Citi Field crowd. Keep an eye on New York Yankees at Chicago White Sox too, a tight -145 line that could come down to whether the Yankees' bullpen holds a lead late. Early action already has Texas Rangers at Tampa Bay Rays in progress, Rays up 3-0 after two, and it's a getaway day matinee rematch for those two tomorrow, so a laugher tonight could set the tone for a quick turnaround start.

MLS The marquee slate tonight is a fun one off the beaten path: the MLS All-Stars host the Liga MX All-Stars at Bank of America Stadium in a bragging-rights exhibition rather than a table-deciding derby. There's no relegation or aggregate score on the line, but expect plenty of attacking flair as both sides try to avoid a shambolic showing in front of a national audience on Apple TV. Keep an eye out for a moment of individual brilliance from either side to settle what could easily finish level.

WNBA Circle New York Liberty at Las Vegas Aces as the marquee tip, a defending-champ rematch feel with the Aces protecting home floor and both squads loaded with buckets from top to bottom. Minnesota Lynx at Toronto Tempo is the other one worth your attention since the Lynx are running away with the league at 23-6 and could put on an absolute clinic against a rebuilding Tempo squad. If you only watch one late game, Golden State Valkyries at Phoenix Mercury has sneaky upset juice with the Valkyries chasing their 20th win on the road.
