Game of the Day

Baltimore Orioles at Athletics · 9:40 ET

Sutter Health Park · Market: BAL -141, total 9.5

Jacob Lopez carries the highest strikeout ceiling in this game — the Athletics lefty projects for the most punchouts on either staff, well ahead of Baltimore's Brandon Young. At the plate, Pete Alonso is the clear standout: no other hitter on either roster projects for as much combined production, with Gunnar Henderson and Jackson Holliday next closest but not matching him.

Game of the Day

Portland Fire at Atlanta Dream · 7:30 ET

Gateway Center · Market: ATL -12.5, total 179.5

Angel Reese's rebounding numbers dwarf the rest of the floor in Portland's trip to Atlanta — no one else in the game gets within shouting distance, and on her best night she could push toward 20 boards. Allisha Gray leads all scorers in the projections, giving the Dream two separate players carrying outsized loads against a Fire team already eliminated from playoff contention.
