Colorado Rockies at Washington Nationals · 1:05 ET
Nationals Park · Market: WSH -122, total 9.5
The leverage in this one belongs to CJ Abrams. Washington's shortstop is projected for more combined hits, runs, and RBIs than anyone on either roster tonight, with no Rockies bat within real shouting distance of that kind of line.

Washington Mystics at Phoenix Mercury · 10:00 ET
Mortgage Matchup Center · Market: WSH -4.5, total 167.5
Washington arrives fresh off clinching its first playoff trip since 2023, but the most unusual stat line on the floor belongs to Alyssa Thomas. The Mercury forward is projected to come close to matching her rebounds with assists, a scoring line that reads more point guard than frontcourt regular. Shakira Austin counters as Washington's top scoring option and the game's most reliable rebounder, giving both sides a real mismatch to build around.
