Jaxon Smith-Njigba carries the biggest receiving projection on the field by a wide margin, and he does it on a limited-practice ankle, which is the one variable worth watching before kickoff. Seattle's other lever is on the ground: Emanuel Wilson is projected as the lead back with Zach Charbonnet expected to sit again, in the first Macdonald–Payton meeting since the practice-footage feud of 2024.

Tampa Bay Rays at Cleveland Guardians · 1:00 ET
Progressive Field · Market: CLE -130, total 6.5
| Tampa Bay Rays · 45% | 55% · Cleveland Guardians |
Gavin Williams is the one pitcher in this game with a real path to a big strikeout night, and the model also has him working deep into the game. Tampa Bay's Griffin Jax is projected for a far shorter, lower-strikeout outing, which tilts the pitching weight toward Cleveland's side of the ledger.

Buffalo Sabres at Toronto Maple Leafs · 7:00 ET

Auston Matthews, Kirill Marchenko and Tage Thompson are the skaters projected for three shots, so the volume in this one runs through two forwards on Toronto and one on Buffalo. It is also a first look at a rebuilt Toronto roster that now includes No. 1 overall pick Gavin McKenna, against a Sabres team that handled the Leafs all last year.
