30 games played, by sport.
EPL The marquee game is Brighton & Hove Albion heading to Anfield to face Liverpool, a real test for both clubs as Brighton looks like a surprise contender this season. Also watch Manchester United hosting AFC Bournemouth at Old Trafford, where United desperately needs a clean sheet and a win to settle the nerves after a shaky start. Down at Sunderland, Leeds United will be hunting its first road win, so don't be shocked if that one ends up a tense draw instead of a breakout result.
MLB The marquee game tonight is the Milwaukee Brewers at the Tampa Bay Rays from Tropicana Field, and with the Brewers sitting 103-59 against the Rays' 98-64, this feels like a World Series tune-up between the sport's two best records. Watch how deep the Brewers' starter can go before the bullpen gets the call, since both heart-of-the-order units have been getting into opposing pitchers' stuff all year. Tampa Bay comes in as a slight favorite at home, but one walk-off swing could flip the mood of this whole series.
MLS The marquee game tonight is the Los Angeles derby, LA Galaxy against LAFC at BMO Stadium, with crosstown pride and playoff positioning on the line. LAFC are the clear favorites on the odds board, but Galaxy sides have found the net in this rivalry before when nobody expected it, so do not be shocked if a sitter gets buried early. Keep an eye out for a clean sheet from LAFC's backline, since a draw here would be a letdown for the home crowd chasing a statement win.
NBA The marquee action right now is a dead-even Lakers-Jazz battle knotted at 100 in the third, with Los Angeles chasing a 3-0 start while Utah tries to avoid dropping to 1-2. Over in Brooklyn, Indiana's already got buckets going against the winless Nets. Later tonight don't sleep on Clippers at Thunder, where Oklahoma City is a fat 15.5-point favorite and could ice this one early if they come out splashing like they have all season.
NFL The marquee matchup is Kansas City Chiefs at Seattle Seahawks tonight, where the undefeated Chiefs head out as road underdogs with the Seahawks favored by three and the over sitting at 43.5. Earlier action already delivered fireworks: Denver's smashmouth running game has Arizona buried 30-16 in the fourth quarter, while the Los Angeles Rams blew the doors off Las Vegas 28-12, easily covering the spread. Keep an eye on Detroit and Green Bay too, a tight 17-14 fourth-quarter battle where neither offense can pull away and every third-and-long snap in the red zone matters.
NHL The marquee matchup tonight is the New York Islanders at the Dallas Stars, already underway with Dallas up 2-1 after one period and looking to pad that lead on the power play. Later on, keep an eye on the Edmonton Oilers hosting the Detroit Red Wings, where Edmonton's stacked lineup will be hunting for highlight-reel snipes top shelf against a Detroit squad that can't afford to get caught shorthanded. Also worth a glance: Minnesota Wild visiting a reeling Vancouver Canucks team, with Minnesota heavily favored to pile on more pressure in the slot all night.
WNBA Marquee game of the night is the Atlanta Dream heading out to Chase Center to face the Golden State Valkyries, a tight matchup between two of the league's best records at 30-14 and 32-12. Vegas has it as close as it looks, with Golden State only favored by a point and a half, so expect buckets in the paint and a few daggers down the stretch. Watch for whoever gets splash-happy from deep early to set the tone before this one comes down to who's got ice in their veins in the final minutes.
