Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves · 2:00 ET
Truist Park · Market: PHI -114, total 7.5
Atlanta took Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series, so Philadelphia is chasing at Truist Park. The pitching matchup tilts hard toward one side: Cristopher Sanchez is the only starter here with a ceiling that reaches toward ten strikeouts, roughly one night in ten, while Tyler Mahle's best night stops just short of eight. If Philadelphia is going to even the series, the path runs through Sanchez.

Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers · 7:30 ET
Xfinity Mobile Arena · Market: PHI -141, total 6.5
The Flyers beat the Penguins in six games in the first round last spring, and the new season opens with the rematch at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Erik Karlsson is the only defenseman on either side projected for a point, and Pittsburgh is the only team with that kind of production coming from the blue line; every Philadelphia defender sits at zero.

Atlanta Dream at Washington Mystics · 7:00 ET
CareFirst Arena · Market: ATL -3.5, total 166.5
Washington is down 1-0 and needs Game 2 to keep its season going. The glass is where this game is decided: Angel Reese is the only player on either side whose floor sits near seven rebounds, meaning even a bad night out-rebounds most starters' typical one. Shakira Austin and Kiki Iriafen are the Mystics who come closest to matching her.
