If you are just getting to the couch on Sunday night, you missed most of it. The full Sunday card across MLB and the WNBA is either final or in the late innings, so there is nothing left to flip on. The better use of your time is Monday, and Monday has a real headliner.

Marquee: Phoenix Mercury at Indiana Fever (Mon, 8:00 PM ET, USA Network)

Caitlin Clark is playing the best basketball of her young career. She just took Eastern Conference Player of the Week after a 76-point, 3-0 week, and the Fever sit at 9-7. The catch is they are coming off a 113-96 beating at Atlanta on Saturday, so Monday is a get-right spot in front of a national USA Network audience. Phoenix has the veteran backcourt to speed Clark up and turn this into a track meet. If you watch one thing Monday, watch this.

Also on Monday

Atlanta Braves at San Diego Padres (10:00 PM ET, ESPN). The night's national baseball game. Atlanta rolls in at 45-22, one of the best records in the sport, to open a three-game set at Petco against a Padres club hovering around .500. A real test of whether San Diego can hang with a contender on its own field.
Chicago Cubs at New York Mets (7:10 PM ET). A big-market matchup at Citi Field and a clean early-evening watch on the East Coast.
Los Angeles Dodgers at Minnesota Twins (7:40 PM ET). The Dodgers on the road are appointment viewing on name value alone.
Toronto Tempo at Atlanta Dream (7:30 PM ET). Atlanta is rolling after handling Indiana over the weekend. Another WNBA window if the Fever game is not enough.
Houston Astros at Toronto Blue Jays (7:07 PM ET, ESPN Unlimited). Two clubs that are used to playing meaningful September baseball, meeting up at Rogers Centre.

The thread for Monday is simple. The WNBA gives you the most-watched player in the sport on national TV, and baseball gives you a first-place Braves team trying to prove it on the coast. Set a reminder for the Fever at 8, then flip to Petco late. Full slate and live links at watch.uristocrat.com.
