Tonight’s MLB and WNBA slates feature a potential championship preview and an interleague matchup between two teams fighting for postseason positioning.
The Lynx and Aces meet for the third and final time during the regular season, with the series tied at one game apiece. Minnesota owns the best record in the WNBA at 28-7 and defeated Las Vegas 98-87 just one week ago, but the reigning champions will have an opportunity to answer at home and close the four-game gap between the teams.
In the MLB, the Pirates will look to secure a series victory after handing the Red Sox their sixth loss in seven games with an 8-4 win on Friday. Boston remains in control of a wild-card spot despite its recent slide and will have a strong opportunity to bounce back with Sonny Gray taking the mound against Jared Jones.

First Pick: Minnesota Lynx -2 over Las Vegas Aces
Rundown:While the season series between the first and third seeds in the league is tied 1-1, Las Vegas’ victory came with Napheesa Collier sidelined.
Minnesota may have already been the best team in the WNBA without its superstar forward, but has tightened its grip on that title since her return.
The Lynx are 7-1 with Collier back, and this matchup allows her to play more of a supporting role with rookie guard Olivia Miles emerging as an Aces killer.
Miles has scored 26 and 29 points in two meetings with Las Vegas this season and is now shooting 40.3% from three.
After not playing since Wednesday, the well-rested Lynx should be in a strong position to make another statement in a potential WNBA Finals preview.
Second Pick: Boston Red Sox ML (-110) over Pittsburgh Pirates

Aug 14, 2026; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; Boston Red Sox designated hitter Masataka Yoshida (7) hits an RBI single during the ninth inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park.
Rundown: The Red Sox are reeling after losing six of their last seven, but have a major advantage in tonight’s pitching matchup with Sonny Gray’s 2.79 ERA compared to Jared Jones’ 5.03 ERA.
Boston is 7-2 across Gray’s last nine starts, and having him back on the mound should provide the spark needed to escape this slump.
The Pirates are only 3-7 over their last 10 games, so they have hardly been playing well enough to take advantage of Boston’s recent struggles.
