MLB The Guardians and White Sox are already in the seventh, but the real marquee tilt is Astros at Padres, a tight NL/AL crossover with San Diego favored at home and the over/under sitting at nine. Keep an eye on the Brewers rolling into Petco right after for a Padres doubleheader feel, while Atlanta, sitting well clear atop the standings, hosts a struggling Mets club that will need the heart of the order to wake up against a hot Braves staff. Boston's southpaw-heavy lineup traveling to Toronto as heavy favorites is worth a glance too if the Astros game turns into a laugher early.
WNBA The marquee slate is Golden State Valkyries at Los Angeles Sparks, with the surging Valkyries at 22-9 rolling into Crypto.com Arena as 6.5-point favorites over a Sparks team still finding its footing at 12-18. Atlanta Dream host Toronto Tempo and look like they should eat them up as double-digit favorites, so the real intrigue is whether Golden State can keep splashing buckets on the road and hand LA another L. Keep an eye on Seattle and Chicago too, a near pick-em where either team's got a shot at ice-in-their-veins finish in the paint.
