Marina Mabrey Projected for Tonight's Highest Scoring Line
Baseball runs a full 15-game card that wraps with Nationals-Athletics out of Sacramento, where Washington projects as a 52.6% road favorite in a game the market has basically even. The WNBA's four-game slate is topped by Atlanta's visit to Toronto, where the Dream are big favorites on paper, but the expansion Tempo counter with Marina Mabrey, who the model likes for more points than anyone else on the floor tonight.

James Wood carries the most outsized bat in this one — the model has him down for more combined hits, runs, and RBIs than anyone else in an Oakland-Washington matchup that otherwise reads dead even. Jacob Wilson and Shea Langeliers give the Athletics a couple of answers, but neither quite clears Wood's mark. On the mound, Cade Cavalli and Gage Jump project as near mirror images of each other, which says more about a quiet night for both bullpens than it does about swing-and-miss stuff.

Marina Mabrey is projected for the highest scoring output of anyone on the floor tonight, comfortably ahead of Atlanta's Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard, in a Toronto backcourt that's leaned hard on her and Julie Allemand to move the offense. Angel Reese, meanwhile, is the only player in the game projected for a double-double, pairing her scoring with the night's best rebounding number. The Dream are favored comfortably on the road, but the model doesn't see Toronto rolling over.
