The morning line

EPL The marquee matchup is Chelsea at Arsenal, a heavyweight London derby with both sides unbeaten and undefeated records on the line, so expect a tense, high-pressure atmosphere and Arsenal favored at home to keep their clean sheet streak going. Earlier in the day, Manchester United heads to Everton looking to bounce back after a loss, with United sitting as slight underdogs in a match that could easily turn into a scrappy nil-nil grind if neither side finds the net early. Keep an eye on stoppage time in both games, since draws feel live given the tight odds.

MLB The heart of tonight's slate is Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies, a division fight in the tightening NL East race with Atlanta clinging to a slim edge in the loss column. Cubs-Marlins is already a bullpen game worth checking on, with Chicago clawing out a 6-5 lead in the top of the eighth after Miami got into the Cubs starter's stuff early. Later, Yankees at Padres is the interleague can't-miss, a potential October preview with New York's lineup depth against a Padres staff that leans on its bullpen late.

MLS It's a jam-packed MLS slate, but the marquee matchup is Atlanta United FC visiting Inter Miami CF, where Inter Miami is a heavy favorite and looking to keep pace atop the Eastern Conference. Keep an eye on Vancouver Whitecaps hosting St. Louis CITY SC too, since Vancouver has been stingy defensively and a clean sheet there would extend their grip on top spot out West. Elsewhere, Sporting Kansas City on the road at FC Dallas looks like the night's likely one-sided affair, so don't be shocked if Dallas finds the net early and coasts.

NCAA Football The marquee game tonight is Clemson Tigers at LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge, a top-25 clash where LSU is favored by 10 and the over/under sits near 48.5, so watch whether Clemson can move the ball against a stout front or LSU leans smashmouth and controls time of possession. Earlier in the day, Boise State at Oregon is a shootout down to the fourth quarter, with Oregon up 34-27 and needing one more red-zone stop to close it out. Don't sleep on Notre Dame hosting Wisconsin at Lambeau Field on Sunday night either, a quirky neutral-site tilt where the Irish are laying 20.5 and the Badgers will need more than garbage-time stats to cover.
