Fantasy players should weigh using the bonus for risk-adjusted bets and DFS lineups across both leagues, while tracking starter reps and bullpen usage in the preseason.

The Saints-Jaguars showdown features a quarterback carousel in New Orleans with Spencer Rattler, Tyler Shough, and Jake Haener, while Jacksonville may roll Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne Jr. for brief sequences as they gear toward Week 1, with Jacksonville favored by 2.5. In Chicago, Caleb Williams is slated to debut as the Bears’ first preseason starter, aiming to push Chicago past a 2.5-point spread and an over/under of 40.5. MLB action centers on the Mets versus Mariners Little League Classic with Clay Holmes on the mound for New York and George Kirby for Seattle, shaping a narrative around strikeout and out-prop markets (Holmes 4.5 Ks; Kirby 17.5 outs). Padres-Dodgers and Mets-Mariners provide stacked DFS stacks and prize-pool considerations as the day unfolds.

Seattle visits New York in Williamsport for the rubber game of the MLB Little League Classic, a high-stakes clash set for 7:10 p.m. ET with playoff atmospherics and a nationally televised spotlight. The Mariners (68-56) opened with an 11-9 victory at Citi Field, while the Mets (65-58) answered with a 3-1 win at home, leaving both teams locked in wild-card positions and chasing momentum into Sunday night.

In the mound matchup, George Kirby takes the ball for Seattle against Clay Holmes for New York. The SportsLine projection leans toward a tight finish, with Mets possibly extending their win streak but Seattle favored to squeeze out another close result. The latest point spread lists Seattle as a modest -124 favorite with the Mets at +106, and a Mets +1.5 line floating in some models. The Williamsport setting adds a unique fantasy angle, elevating late-inning heroics and bullpen chess matches for daily fantasy and prop bets.

Beyond the diamond, Sunday brings NFL preseason Week 2 lights and a five-game WNBA slate, including Atlanta's top Eastern squad facing Golden State's Valkyries, while bettors scout lines like Jaguars-Saints and Bills-Bears and look for edge in player props and DFS value across the board.

The New York Mets, currently holding a 62-46 record, are in San Diego facing the Padres (59-49) as they attempt to avoid a three-game sweep. In the previous outing, the Padres secured a commanding 7-1 victory, highlighted by Manny Machado's three-run homer during a pivotal fifth inning. The Mets' bullpen struggled again, allowing six runs in the final three innings. Today’s matchup features Clay Holmes starting for the Mets, boasting a 9-5 record and a solid 3.41 ERA, against Yu Darvish for the Padres, who is struggling with a 0-3 record and a daunting 9.18 ERA.

As the game approaches, betting lines show the Mets favored at -124 on the moneyline. The total for the game is set at 8.0 runs, with recent trends indicating a move towards betting on the over. The Mets’ Francisco Lindor has been hitting consistently, while Machado is riding a 7-game hitting streak, making him a player to watch. This matchup promises to bring excitement for fans and bettors alike, especially given the recent performances of the starting pitchers.

As the New York Mets gear up for a six-game road trip, they announced a key addition to their bullpen, acquiring left-handed reliever Gregory Soto from the Orioles for two pitching prospects, marking the team's first trade ahead of the deadline. The Mets enter the series against the San Francisco Giants with positive momentum, riding a four-game winning streak after completing a sweep of the Angels.

Highlighting their recent form, Francisco Lindor broke out of an 0-for-31 slump with two hits, while Pete Alonso hit his first home run in two weeks, contributing to a 6-3 victory. Clay Holmes is set to start for the Mets, despite a recent loss where he allowed four earned runs. The Giants will counter with ace Logan Webb, who is looking to rebound after a challenging outing against the Blue Jays.

The New York Mets displayed resilience, coming back from a four-run deficit to defeat the Baltimore Orioles 7-6 in 10 innings. After a challenging sixth inning where Clay Holmes allowed four runs, the Mets rallied in the eighth with powerful two-run home runs from Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso, leveling the game. This victory marked their fifth win in six games as they continue their six-game road trip. With strong plays from Ronny Mauricio and a crucial save from Huascar Brazobán, the Mets improved their record to 53-39.

Despite a rocky road record this season, the Mets are showing signs of a turnaround, having recently won a series against the Yankees and now triumphing over the struggling Orioles, who are languishing in last place in the AL East. The Mets' offense has been reignited, and with their bullpen performing well under pressure, they are looking forward to capitalizing on this momentum.
