Tonight

4 games on the slate — the marquee: Phillies @ Braves at 2026-09-30T18:00:00.0000000+00:00.

Cristopher Sánchez shoulders the narrative here, arriving with a 2.93 ERA over 212.0 innings and forcing the matchup into the lefty-righty calculus. That matters because Ozzie Albies has a real career edge against him — 9-for-18 — giving Atlanta a clear counter to Sánchez’s season-long stinginess. The market pegs the Phillies a slim favorite, roughly -118 on the moneyline with a 7.0 total that signals modest scoring. Watch whether Sánchez can navigate Michael Harris II, who is red-hot at .410 over his last 10 games, in a pitcher-friendly Truist Park.

Watch list

Sox @ Astros — Hunter Brown has dominated Chicago White Sox — .217 BAA with a 29% strikeout rate over 146 plate appearances across 4 seasons.
