The morning line

MLB The marquee matchup tonight is the Boston Red Sox at the Los Angeles Dodgers, with the heart of LA's order favored heavily and the Dodgers looking to keep padding their spot atop the standings while Boston tries to steal one on the road. Keep an eye on the late innings out west too, where the Minnesota Twins and Seattle Mariners are knotted at six heading to the bottom of the ninth, prime setup for a walk-off, and the Detroit Tigers have already blown the game open against the Athletics, racking up ten runs and chasing the Oakland bullpen all afternoon. If you want a laugher to point to at the water cooler, Detroit's the one, they left the yard early and never looked back.

WNBA The marquee tilt is Las Vegas Aces at Atlanta Dream, a virtual pick'em with both squads jockeying for playoff seeding, and at 20-9 the Aces have the league's best +/- to defend against a Dream team playing with ice in their veins at home. Earlier in the night keep an eye on Seattle Storm at New York Liberty, where the Liberty are heavily favored and could put on an absolute clinic against a Storm squad that's taken the L way too often this season. If you want buckets in the paint and a possible dagger finish, Atlanta-Vegas is the one to have on.
