Aug 13, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Miguel Rojas (72) beats the tag by Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras (24) to score a run in the fifth inning at Dodger Stadium.

Tonight’s MLB and WNBA slates feature two marquee matchups between teams battling for postseason positioning.

The Brewers and Dodgers continue their four-game series in Los Angeles after Milwaukee stunned the defending champions with a three-run ninth inning to steal Thursday’s opener, 5-4. The comeback gave the Brewers a two-game lead over the Dodgers for the best record in the National League, but Los Angeles will have a strong opportunity to answer with Yoshinobu Yamamoto taking the mound tonight.

In the WNBA, the Wings and Fever meet for the second time this season in a battle between two of this season's biggest contenders. Dallas has reached 20 wins for just the second time in franchise history, while Indiana has won four of its last six, including a statement victory over the Liberty.

First Pick: Milwaukee Brewers +1.5 (-142) over Los Angeles Dodgers 

Rundown: After Milwaukee stole the opening game of this series, the Dodgers enter Friday as heavy −171 favorites to even it up.

Los Angeles has a solid chance to pull out the win, but that price is far too steep for a matchup between two of the best teams in baseball.

The Dodgers have struggled to justify these heavy prices at home, going just 18-39 against the run line as favorites at Dodger Stadium this season.

Milwaukee has only been a road underdog on the run line nine times, but has covered in six of those games. Even with Yoshinobu Yamamoto starting for Los Angeles, the Brewers should be able to keep this one close.

Second Pick: Indiana Fever -8 over Dallas Wings

Rundown: This line seems steep considering the slight 1.5-game gap between both teams in the standings, but it reflects one of the biggest post-All-Star break storylines in the league, which is the Wings’ fall from grace.

Dallas is ninth in the league in net rating over its last 10, and it's hard to envision tonight being the end of slump with the Wings missing both Jessica Shepard and Azzi Fudd. 

The team with the best offense in the league all season, Indiana is a strong 12-6 at home this year, and should pick up a decisive victory tonight over Paige Bueckers and company.
