MLB The Tampa Bay Rays roll into Truist Park to face the Atlanta Braves in the day's marquee matchup, with both clubs deep in the heart of playoff races and neither wanting to hand the other bullpen momentum down the stretch. Right now it's the Nationals and Padres holding your attention live, tied at 3-2 through six at Petco Park. Later on, keep an eye on the Brewers hosting the Cubs, a first-place club trying to keep its rotation's starters going deep and avoid leaning on the pen too early.
NCAA Football The marquee game tonight is SMU Mustangs at Florida State Seminoles, a primetime ESPN matchup at Doak Campbell Stadium with kickoff at 7:30 PM Eastern. SMU comes in as three-point road favorites despite Florida State's 1-0 start, with the total sitting at 54.5, so watch whether the Seminoles can control time of possession and avoid third-and-long situations against a Mustangs defense looking to make an early statement. If Florida State's offense stalls near midfield, expect the line of scrimmage battle to decide whether this one covers easily or turns into a shootout near the over.
