Houston Astros at New York Yankees · 7:05 ET
Yankee Stadium · Market: NYY -141, total 9.5
Yordan Alvarez is projected for more combined hits, runs, and RBIs than anyone else on the field tonight, Astros or Yankees — his median clears every other bat in either lineup, teammate Jeremy Peña included. On the mound, Will Warren carries the swing-and-miss equity for New York; his strikeout ceiling touches eight, the high mark of either starter. With the AL playoff picture as jammed as it's been in years, nights like this one carry real weight for both sides.

Portland Fire at Dallas Wings · 8:00 ET
College Park Center · Market: DAL -8.5, total 175.5
Paige Bueckers is projected for more points than anyone else on the floor, and she leads all scorers in playmaking too — her assist median tops the game. Down low, Jessica Shepard is in a class of her own on the boards, projected for nearly double what either team's next-best rebounder puts up. Dallas is trying to hold off Portland for the WNBA's final playoff spot while playing out the stretch without rookie Azzi Fudd, lost for the season.
