Baseball owns the night. The Dodgers and Brewers are back at it in the NLCS, Milwaukee's trying to even the series, and across town the Guardians and Rays open the ALCS in Tampa. Add in a Monday Night Football tilt between two bruised AFC and NFC contenders, and there's no shortage of reasons to have a screen on tonight.
Marquee: Dodgers at Brewers, NLCS Game 2 (5:00 PM ET, FOX/FS1)
Los Angeles is chasing a third straight World Series title, Milwaukee is chasing its first ever, and Game 1 in Milwaukee already set the tone for how tight this series could get. Yoshinobu Yamamoto takes the ball for the Dodgers against Brewers rookie right-hander Logan Henderson, a steep experience gap on the mound that Milwaukee will try to erase with its home crowd and a deep bullpen. The Brewers won 100 games this year without a single $20 million-plus player on the roster, and they'll need that same formula tonight against a Dodgers lineup built to pounce on any mistake.
Vegas line: Dodgers -137 / Brewers +114 on the money line, Dodgers -1.5 / Brewers +1.5 on the run line, total set at 6.5 (via ESPN).
Also tonight
- Guardians at Rays, ALCS Game 1 (8:00 PM ET, TBS/truTV). Cleveland survived a winner-take-all Game 5 against the White Sox to get here. Tampa Bay swept the Yankees in three straight and arrives rested, which could matter a lot in Game 1 of a new series.
- Bills at Rams, Monday Night Football (8:15 PM ET, ESPN/ABC). Buffalo is coming off a 29-26 loss to New England and trying to stop its offense from stalling out two weeks running. The Rams are riding a comeback win over Philadelphia and get this one at home, where Matthew Stafford has been throwing it well to Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.
- Golden Knights at Wild (8:00 PM ET, ESPN+). An early-season Western Conference matchup between two teams that made the playoffs last year.
- Thunder at Hawks (7:00 PM ET). Preseason action for the reigning champs as Oklahoma City starts to lock in its rotation before the regular season opens.
- Timberwolves at Knicks (7:30 PM ET, NBA TV). A preseason look at two teams that made deep runs last spring and have real expectations again this year.
Two championship series games on the same night don't come around often. Baseball is the story tonight, football just happens to have a good one scheduled on top of it.
