18 games played, by sport.
MLB Circle Seattle Mariners at New York Yankees as the marquee matchup, with the Yankees a modest home favorite and both sides looking to get their starter through seven and hand things off clean to the bullpen. Boston Red Sox at Toronto Blue Jays is the other one worth flipping to, a tight AL playoff-race game with a low over/under that points to a pitchers' duel. Keep an eye on Milwaukee Brewers at San Diego Padres too, since the Brewers own the best record in baseball right now and a southpaw who got into his stuff early could turn it into a laugher fast.
WNBA The marquee game is New York Liberty at Indiana Fever, with Indiana favored by 3.5 but New York looking to prove they still belong at the top of the standings after last year's title run. Later, keep an eye on Minnesota at Portland, where the 27-7 Lynx are the best team nobody's talking about and could put on a paint-clinic against a rebuilding Fire squad. Vegas hosting Washington is worth a peek too, since the Aces have been finding their splash shooting again down the stretch.
