The morning line

EPL The marquee game today is Arsenal traveling to Aston Villa, with Arsenal off a season-opening win looking to keep their clean sheet streak going against a Villa side hunting their first points. Arsenal come in as heavy favorites on the road, so watch for Villa to try to spring a sitter early or ride a stubborn defense into a nil-nil scoreline if they can't find the net. Either way, it is early season, but a loss here would sting for Villa heading into their next fixture.

MLB The marquee game is San Francisco Giants at Atlanta Braves, already in progress at Truist Park, where the Braves are protecting a division-leading 82-55 record and nursing a 2-1 lead into the fifth. It's a getaway day for the Giants, who at 56-81 have nothing to play for but pride and a shot at getting into a struggling Atlanta bullpen late. Also worth a glance: Milwaukee at Chicago Cubs, with the 85-52 Brewers riding the best record in baseball into Wrigley and putting a southpaw's stuff to the test against a Cubs lineup that leans on OBP over the long ball.
