Game of the Day

Minnesota Twins at Athletics · 9:05 ET

Sutter Health Park · Market: MIN -138, total 10.5

MLB's races are tightening now that the trade deadline has passed, but Twins-Athletics is a quieter night on paper — except for Byron Buxton. His median production actually trails four Minnesota teammates, yet his ceiling dwarfs every hitter on either roster tonight. When Buxton gets going, nobody else in this game has a bigger night in him.

Game of the Day

Toronto Tempo at Seattle Storm · 10:00 ET

Climate Pledge Arena · Market: SEA -6.5, total 175.5

The WNBA's playoff field is nearly set, with just one berth still being fought over elsewhere — Seattle and Toronto are playing out a different kind of night. Dominique Malonga is this game's leverage point: the model's ceiling on her clears every other player on the floor, points and rebounds both. No one else in this game, on either roster, profiles for the kind of night she's capable of at the extreme end.
