46 games played, by sport.
EPL The marquee game is Manchester City hosting Sunderland, where a still-perfect City side is a massive favorite to keep their unbeaten start rolling and go for a clean sheet against a Sunderland team still finding its footing. Keep an eye on Manchester United's trip to Fulham too, since United are hunting for any sign of consistency after a shaky start. Liverpool's visit to Bournemouth is the closest thing to a toss-up on the slate, priced as a real pick-em despite Liverpool's stronger record, so don't be shocked if that one turns into a scrappy draw.
MLB The marquee matchup tonight is Milwaukee Brewers at Baltimore Orioles, with the Brewers sitting at a dominant 97-58 and heavily favored at minus 215 as they push toward locking up playoff seeding down the stretch. The heart of Milwaukee's order will be looking to tee off on a shaky Orioles staff, so if their starter can't get into his stuff early, expect the bullpen to be busy in a hurry. Keep half an eye on the Tigers hosting the White Sox this afternoon too, a lower stakes tilt between two rebuilding clubs but still worth checking if a starter is cruising through with a low WHIP.
MLS The marquee slate tonight is San Diego FC visiting Inter Miami CF at Nu Stadium, with Inter Miami looking to protect home turf against an expansion side that has quietly banked eleven draws this season. Miami's attack, still built around getting the ball to Lionel Messi through balls in the final third, will be tested by a San Diego backline hunting its next clean sheet. Watch for stoppage time drama if this one stays tight, since both clubs have shown they can find the net late.
NFL The marquee game is Indianapolis Colts at Kansas City Chiefs, a Sunday nighter where the Chiefs are favored by six and the total sits at 46.5 as they try to shake off an early hiccup and settle back into their usual red-zone efficiency. Earlier in the day San Francisco is running away with a smashmouth win over Miami, up 35-6 in the fourth after the Dolphins simply couldn't move the ball, while Las Vegas is holding a two-score lead over the Chargers late and could cover easily if they keep bleeding time of possession on the ground. Keep an eye on Seattle at Arizona too, where the Seahawks have controlled the line of scrimmage all afternoon and are cruising toward a comfortable cover heading into the fourth quarter.
NHL The night's live one is Nashville at Tampa Bay, tied at two heading into the final five minutes of the third, with a power play in this stretch enough to decide it. Washington and Boston are also deadlocked at one apiece late in the third, so keep an eye out for someone getting shorthanded or a goalie getting pulled if it stays tight. Preseason also features Carolina at Florida and Utah at Colorado, both puck drops at 7 and 7 eastern, worth a glance if either team flashes a snipe from the slot early. Actually, let me trim that to stay tight on the format. {
WNBA The marquee tilt is Atlanta Dream at New York Liberty, two teams jockeying for playoff seeding with the Dream favored by a point and a half on the road. Vegas hosting Seattle should be a laugher given the Aces are catching a 17.5-point spread against a Storm squad that's taken the L way too often this year, so keep the League Pass tab on the Liberty game instead for actual buckets. Dallas at Phoenix rounds out the slate with the Wings still very much alive and favored to keep ice in their veins on the road.
