Washington Nationals vs Miami Marlins Game Thread
The Marlins have owned the Nats all season, and now they are coming into town for four games. This is a series Blake Butera has to be targeting after the Nats just got swept in Miami. We know the deal with the Marlins now. They are a gritty, fundamentally sound bunch. Can the Nats stop them?
CJ Abrams is back in the field, but at shortstop. Blake Butera would not commit to a timetable when I asked him when he would play second base. Nasim Nunez is getting a day off, which means Jorbit Vivas is at second and Brady House is at third. Abimelec Ortiz and Harry Ford are also back in the lineup. Jackson Kent is on the mound.
Since the last series between these teams, Marlins slugger Kyle Stowers has returned from the IL. He will be playing first base. The pesky middle infield duo of Otto Lopez and Xavier Edwards will be players to watch. Utility man Javier Sanoja has also been hot lately. Marlins young ace Eury Perez is on the mound.

Colorado Rockies vs. Atlanta Braves game discussion: Tomoyuki Sugano vs. Grant Holmes
After splitting the four-game series with the Washington Nationals, the Colorado Rockies head south to the Peach State to take on the Atlanta Braves in a new series.
The last time these two teams met was back in May, when the Braves swept a three-game series at Coors Field. The Braves currently hold a five-game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League East standings. Once again, the Rockies face a tough road challenge against a good big league team.
Tomoyuki Sugano (12-7, 4.96 ERA) is looking to rebound after the oddity of his last start at Coors Field. Sugano lasted just three innings against the Cleveland Guardians, having thrown 93 pitches and allowed five runs on nine hits. The Guardians did an excellent job running up his pitch count with an absurd amount of foul balls and the contact they made kept finding holes for base hits. Sugano scuffled in his start against the Los Angeles Dodgers before that, allowing seven runs on seven hits across five innings.
At this point in the season, teams that are elite at making contact have proven troublesome for Sugano, especially those that can waste pitches. Sugano is at his best when he can work quickly and induce weak contact for ground balls. Atlanta is a tough match-up in that regard and he will have to establish the zone early and put batters away quickly.
The Braves will turn to Grant Holmes (8-5, 3.64 ERA) to make his 25th start of the season. With all of the injuries the Braves have dealt with in their rotation, Holmes has proven a reliable arm all season. He can get strikeouts, but has mostly averaged about four per game this season. Meanwhile, the walks can fluctuate but typically average two to three per game. He last faced the Rockies at Coors Field on May 1 and had one of his worst starts this season, allowing six runs on seven hits over five innings.
He comes into this game, however, on the heels of a start where he allowed just one hit over six innings. In fact, he has allowed just six runs over 21.2 innings this month, all of which came in a 3.2 inning performance on August 15 against Arizona. Hopefully, the Rockies can replicate the success from May and actually secure the win

Mariners Game #135 Preview and Discussion: 8/28, SEA at TOR
Likely Cy Young winner vs. the 2026 Seattle Mariners. What could go wrong? The last time the Mariners ran into the Cease buzzsaw, he came away with nine strikeouts over seven innings, with a walk, two singles, and a double. The Mariners’ offense has showed a little more life lately, so maybe they’ll be able to adjust.
The Blue Jays will also be facing their opposing pitcher for the second time this season. When Emerson Hancock faced Toronto in January, it was one of his better starts amid his mid-season slide. He went a full seven, striking out five and giving up just a single, a double, and two walks.
The Mariners and Jays really are mirror images of each other.

Dustin Hogue signs with Crifo Wines Ruvo di Puglia
RUVO DI PUGLIA, Italy — Crifo Wines Ruvo di Puglia signed veteran American Dustin Hogue to anchor its interior defense and provide a battle-tested presence under the basket. The former Iowa State standout joins the roster with a mandate to provide immediate experience and physicality for a club looking to solidify its standing in the Italian divisions.
Off the court, Hogue’s physical metrics provide a blueprint for the high-intensity style he brings to the paint. While technically undersized for a traditional center at 6-foot-6, 220 pounds, Hogue’s bulk and relentless motor allow him to play significantly larger than his height, a critical asset in the grueling interior play of the Italian leagues.
His game is defined by several trademark contributions according to his new team:
- Paint Presence: His ability to use his frame to control the interior and disrupt opposing offenses.
- Athleticism: Physical tools that translate into a high-speed, high-impact style of play across both ends of the floor.
- Rebounding: A reputation for relentless work on the boards and an elite expertise in securing possessions.
This physical profile has served as the foundation for a decorated career in Italy, where Hogue has established himself as a perennial winner. He first left a major mark on the Italian landscape during a celebrated tenure with Dolomiti Energia Trento, where he served as a central figure in the squad that reached consecutive Scudetto finals in 2017 and 2018. His pedigree for postseason success continued during the 2024-25 cycle with Cantù, a stint that culminated in a Coppa Italia LNP title and securing promotion to Serie A.
The signing also offers a distinct tactical advantage for Ruvo di Puglia, which adds a player intimately familiar with the club’s current competitive environment. Hogue’s journey through the Italian divisions over the last campaign saw him move from Bergamo to Real Sebastiani Rieti. This recent path created a unique opponent-to-teammate narrative; while wearing the Real Sebastiani Rieti jersey last season, Hogue faced Ruvo di Puglia as a formidable adversary on the court. He now brings that first-hand scouting knowledge and veteran savvy to the home locker room.
Hogue’s professional journey is rooted in a high-major collegiate foundation at Iowa State in the NCAA. Since transitioning to the European professional ranks, he has built an extensive resume across several top-tier leagues, representing prominent clubs including Enisey, Cluj-Napoca, Prometey and Promitheas. This diverse international background completes the profile of a seasoned veteran capable of anchoring the interior for Crifo Wines.

Falcons vs. Dolphins: Miami players to watch in Preseason Week 3
The Miami Dolphins host the Atlanta Falcons on Friday night, closing out the 2026 Preseason schedule. The game may include a cameo appearance by the starters, but the stars of the night will be the roster bubble players. Will anyone crush it on the field tonight and force the coaches to keep them on the 53-man regular-season roster?
Several players on the roster bubble are worth watching throughout the game. Could they make an impact on offense or defense? Are they in a key special-teams role that hints at their making the roster? We take a look at some of the players to watch tonight.
Defensive tackle Fatorma Mulbah
Mulbah went undrafted out of West Virginia in 2025 and signed with the New York Jets. He did not make the roster out of the preseason and spent time on the practice squad during the year. He signed with the Dolphins at the start of August, and he has made an impact quickly. Mulbah has been a force in the middle of the line, especially against the run. He is not perfect and he has growth that still needs to happen, but with a strong performance against the Falcons, he could force Miami to keep him on the roster rather than risking having him claimed off waivers by another team.
Fullback D.J. Herman
I have gone back and forth on projecting Herman to make the roster, with him on the wrong side of the cut line in today’s 53-man roster projection. He has been solid as a lead blocker, in pass protection, and as an outlet option in the passing game. A linebacker in college, Herman has made the adjustment to being a fullback and he is doing it well enough to force the Dolphins to at least consider using a roster spot to keep him. Tight end Ben Sims, who is listed as the first team fullback on the depth chart, has missed time and Herman has taken advantage of the opportunity. A strong performance on Friday, especially if he makes a special teams play, could land him on the right side of the cut line.
Defensive end Cameron Goode
The numbers seem to be against Goode making the roster this year, but the 2022 seventh-round pick could change that tonight. Primarily a special teams player, if he can make an impact during the game, he might force his way onto the roster. He has been fine during training camp, but fine might not be good enough to justify a roster position. Stepping up tonight might be a requirement for Goode to stay with the team another year.
Safety Major Burns / Lonnie Johnson / Louis Moore
I am absolutely cheating here by putting all three players in one spot on my five players to watch, but it is because there really is not any separation between them at this point. One of the three of them will make the roster as the fourth safety on the depth chart – which one could be determined tonight. Johnson has dealt with an injury this summer, Burns has flashed but may not be as consistent, and Moore is a rookie trying to go from undrafted to the roster.
Offensive lineman Charlie Heck
The Dolphins likely signed Heck as a free agent to serve as the swing tackle and primary game-day backup for both Patrick Paul at left tackle and Austin Jackson at right tackle. He has been inconsistent all summer and he has done everything except claim that role. I do not have him making the roster right now, but a strong performance tonight could change that. Heck could find help in the roster math if guard Josh Priebe sees playing time at center and plays well, that could lead Miami to releasing center Andrew Meyer and open a roster spot for Heck. It might be a backdoor way to make the roster, but it would still land him on the roster.

*Eligible U.S. locations only
Sun vs Fever prop: Caitlin Clark Over 24.5 points
Probability: 39%
Caitlin Clark has been more productive at Gainbridge Fieldhouse than any other location this season, averaging 23.9 points, 9.1 assists and 3.6 rebounds at home compared to 20.4 points, 7.6 assists and 4.1 rebounds on the road.
Clark has 12 double-doubles, reaching that milestone in eight of 17 home games but just four of 18 road games.
Clark’s 31 double-doubles are the 9th-most in the WNBA since she joined the league in 2024.
Check out Zak Hanshew's full Sun vs. Fever predictions.
Fire vs Dream prop: Angel Reese Over 13.5 rebounds
Probability: 71%
Angel Reese set the single-game and single-season rebounding records on Monday when she collected 26 boards against the Los Angeles Sparks. The number was out of this world, but the performance was nothing new, as Reese is averaging 12.4 rebounds per game this season.
Reese should have a field day against the Portland Fire, who average the fewest rebounds per game (30.3) and the lowest rebounding rate in the WNBA (47.0%). She's collected 14+ rebounds in six of her last eight games, and I love her to go Over 13.5 boards tonight at -110 or better.
Check out Ed Scimia's full Fire vs. Dream predictions.
Mystics vs Sparks prop: Cameron Brink Over 9.5 points
Probability: 47%
Cameron Brink is averaging 9.4 points on 50% shooting — both career-high marks.
Over her last eight games, Brink’s minutes have increased from 18.5 to 20.1. She ranks fourth in usage and second in rebound percentage on her team in that span while averaging 18.7 PRA.
Brink has averaged 20.3 PRA across her last three home games, hitting the Over twice in that span. In a matchup that should be dominated in the paint, I expect her to see plenty of run alongside Nneka Ogwumike to counter the double-big attack from the Washington Mystics.
Check out Zak Hanshew's full Mystics vs. Sparks predictions.
Tempo vs Aces prop: Jackie Young Over 4.5 rebounds
Probability: 60%
The Las Vegas Aces forward NaLyssa Smith is out for the season and star center A’ja Wilson is questionable tonight, taking a potential 16 collective rebounds off the floor.
Jackie Young will be called upon to crash the glass for Vegas against a similarly small Toronto Tempo lineup.
Toronto runs the risk of playing without its top four rebounders and five of its seven best bodies on the boards. The Tempo have had issues on the glass all year, ranked dead-last in rebound rate.
Young averages 4.4 rebounds but projections sit north of five boards tonight.
Check out Jason Logan's full Tempo vs. Aces predictions.
How to bet WNBA player props today
Player props allow WNBA bettors to wager on a player’s total points, assists, rebounds, 3-pointers made, and a number of individual statistics like combo markets.
Just like standard Over/Under odds, prediction markets like Kalshi will set a projected total number for those stats, and bettors can predict whether the player or team will have Over or Under that total.
What is Kalshi?
Kalshi is a federally regulated platform for trading event outcomes on prediction markets. Traders can buy and sell simple, transparent contracts that settle based on the outcome of real-world events. Markets revolve around a yes/no proposition, with prices adjusting dynamically based on traders’ perceived probability that the event will occur. When the event concludes, if you are correct, the contract “honors” at a predetermined price; if you are incorrect, it expires at $0.

Bears vs Titans Preseason: How to watch, start time, odds, and more
The Chicago Bears wrap up their 2026 preseason slate against the Tennessee Titans on Saturday, and every time the Bears and Titans play, I think of one thing: When Bears fans drank all the beer in Nashville. The Bears won that 2012 game, 51 to 20, and it featured 4 forced fumbles from Charles Tillman and the final touchdown of Brian Urlacher’s career: a 46-yard interception return.
The Bears and Titans held a joint practice on Thursday, and things got feisty with a few skirmishes. Tennessee head coach Robert Saleh even accused Bears safety Xavier Woods, a former Titan, of taking a cheap shot on one of his players. Saleh said he’s planning to play his ones for a half, so we’ll have to wait and see if the intensity carries over to the game. We’ll also have to wait and see if Chicago head coach Ben Johnson plays his starters because, just like last week, he has yet to make an announcement.
For those wondering, last year, the Bears played their first stringers for a half in the third preseason game.
GAME INFO
The Bears and Titans will kick off from Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday, August 29 at 5:00 pm CT. It’ll be sunny at kickoff with sunset at approximately 7:19, and the high will be 92° with a low of 67°.
TELEVISION
The game will be on FOX 32 for the Chicago audience with Adam Amin on play-by-play, Jim Miller and Stacey Dales providing analysis, and Jasmine Baker on the sideline. You can check 506sports.com for the full list of channels carrying the game. NFL Network is scheduled to air the game live on Saturday, but check local listings. They’ll also rebroadcast it in case you miss it live.

ODDS

Panthers vs Texans: Preseason Week 3 discussion thread
The end of the 2026 preseason is upon us with the Carolina Panthers hosting the Houston Texans. Head coach Dave Canales is holding with tradition and resting all of the projected starters in tonight’s game. Instead of preparing the ones for the regular season, tonight is going to be about watching the guys who likely won’t make the initial 53-man roster.
These players are fighting for the last two or three spots on the roster and, more likely, to fill out the 16-man practice squad. The Panthers are currently carrying 88 players on their roster out of a maximum of 90. They have until Sunday at 6:00 PM ET to cut that number down to 53 players and the practice squad. Now is the last opportunity for your favorite training camp super star to make their name.

Cavs fans approve of team’s offseason moves
It’s been a rollercoaster of an offseason for the Cleveland Cavaliers. It started with the possibility of securing LeBron James for a final championship run and farewell tour, only for that to go up in flames after nearly a month of waiting around.
Despite Plan A not working, Cleveland’s front office managed to do two important things this summer. They shed money, getting below the second apron after ending last season there. And they found what could be a more permanent solution at small forward by completing a sign-and-trade for Peyton Watson.
Here’s a quick overview of how the Cavs team is different now than they were at the end of last season.
Notable additions
- Peyton Watson
- Meleek Thomas
- Mario Hezonja
Notable subtractions
- Max Strus
- Dean Wade
- Dennis Schroder
- Keon Ellis
- 2031 first-round pick
These changes have Cavs fans feeling optimistic. Seventy-two percent of those surveyed earlier this week would give the Cavs an “A” or “B” grade for the moves made this summer.
We’ll have to wait a while to fully judge this offseason. Last year is a great example of why.
Many thought at this time last year that Lonzo Ball would be the perfect complementary backup guard and that the earlier De’Andre Hunter acquisition would start paying dividends. However, it became clear early on that neither of those things would be true, which forced the Cavs to move on from both players at the deadline. Hopefully for Cleveland, these moves age better than those ones did.
The rest of the Eastern Conference has gotten better as well. James and Jaylen Brown are with the Philadelphia 76ers. Giannis Antetokounmpo has a new home with the Miami Heat. Tyrese Haliburton will be back this season with the Indiana Pacers. And Kawhi Leonard is heading back to the Toronto Raptors.
Right now, it feels like there are over half a dozen teams that could realistically come out of the East. That is reflected in the current FanDuel odds.
Cleveland is currently tied with the Detroit Pistons for the fourth-highest odds to come out of the conference at +850. They trail the New York Knicks (+330), Sixers (+400), and Boston Celtics (+500). The Cavs are +2500 to win the Finals.

This includes the estimated salary cap impacts of all known signings and releases. More information about our cap space calculation is available below the tables.
Please note: All NFL teams must remain below the salary cap between the beginning of the new league year in mid-March and the end of each season. If our estimate of the team’s cap space is a negative number, it’s because contracts for some reported roster moves have not been officially submitted to the league office, or there is a difference between publicly available salary information and the official figures.

Roster by category
Cap space calculation
Salary data shown in the table is from Spotrac.com, which estimates the team’s salary cap space to be $4.1 million.
This cap figure is based on a total team salary cap of $294.4 million, plus $336,000 in 2025 rollover and $9.8 million in dead cap from previously released players.
But Spotrac’s figure does not include the salary cap impacts of the following recently-signed free agent or otherwise missing contracts. The amounts shown in parentheses are estimated cap space decreases for each contract. These could change when actual figures are available.
- None at this time
With these adjustments (if any) included, the team’s cap space should be $4.1 million.
Remember: salary cap figures are estimates based on publicly available contract information, which can be misunderstood, rounded or inaccurately reported. Only the NFL, the involved teams and players know the precise figures. Therefore, any salary cap calculation must be taken with a grain of salt.

Preseason Week 3 ‘Reacts’ poll: The Chiefs’ most impactful 2025 Day 3 pick
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Each week, we send out questions to the most plugged-in Kansas City Chiefs fans. You can see all of the recent survey results here.
And be sure to check out FanDuel Sportsbook, the official sportsbook partner of SB Nation.
Which sophomore stands above all this season?
Chiefs fans voted in this poll, thinking about which of these Day 3 picks from the 2025 NFL Draft class will have the biggest impact on the team this season. Linebacker Jeffrey Bassa, who is slated to be a sub-package player for Kansas City’s defense, was the top choice.
Wide receiver Jalen Royals has come on strong this preseason, but he is still projected to be buried on the depth chart in the receiver rotation. Running back Brashard Smith may need to win the starting return job in order to make a significant impact.
