Tonight

7 games on the slate — the marquee: Rockies @ Nationals at 2026-08-27T17:05:00.0000000+00:00.

Andrés Chaparro is the matchup to watch — he's hitting .348 against right-handers, and that matters because Gabriel Hughes carries a 6.54 ERA this season. Hughes has been knocked around lately — he allowed 7 ER in multiple recent starts — which elevates the impact of Chaparro’s hot streak early in the game. Books lean slightly to the Nationals, pricing them around -116, and the 9.0 total implies middling scoring, so any early damage to Hughes could swing a close contest.

Watch list

Astros @ Yankees — Cody Bellinger has hit safely in 9 straight games.
