A'ja Wilson Projected to Lead Aces in Points, Boards

Sunday's board is a big one: 15 MLB games on the afternoon slate and a four-game WNBA night capped by Indiana at Las Vegas. The model likes A'ja Wilson to pace the floor in both points and rebounds as the Aces host the Fever as better-than-60% favorites. Earlier in the day, the Yankees visit Washington, with New York's bats looking for a bounce-back after a quiet stretch.

TODAY'S SLATE

WNBA · 4 games — Watch: Indiana Fever at Las Vegas Aces, 9:00 ET

PLAYER TO WATCH

MLB · New York Yankees at Washington Nationals · 1:35 ET

Nationals Park · Market: NYY -112, total 9.5

Ben Rice is projected for the highest Hits + Runs + RBIs figure of anyone on the field today, a tick above Nationals slugger James Wood and teammate Cody Bellinger. New York's offense has cooled over the past few weeks, but Rice looks like the one bat still humming in Washington. On the mound, Cade Cavalli's strikeout total is projected to top every pitcher in the game, Yankees starter Will Warren included.

A'ja Wilson is the only player in tonight's matchup projected to lead the floor in both points and rebounds, a two-category advantage over the rest of the Aces and every Fever starter. Teammate Chelsea Gray isn't far behind: Gray's projected assist total is the best of anyone on the floor, ahead of Indiana's Caitlin Clark. Las Vegas has been one of the WNBA's best teams this summer, and that kind of two-way depth is exactly why.
