The San Diego Padres are contenders again this year and are 44-36 entering Friday's series with the Cincinnati Reds. As for Cincy, it has taken a step forward and enters this series with a 42-39 record. Unfortunately for the Reds, that's only good enough for fourth place in a stacked NL Central. Cincinnati can make up ground in the division in this series, while San Diego aims to close ground on the six games it trails behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. Star right-hander Dylan Cease (3-6, 4.43 ERA) starts for the Padres while the Reds counter with veteran right-hander Nick Martinez (4-8, 4.40 ERA). The SportsLine Projection Model has a few 'A' grades for Friday's MLB schedule, including this matchup, where it loves Reds +1.5 at -143, with Cincinnati covering the spread in 68% of model simulations. 

Another 'A' grade from the model comes in Milwaukee where the 45-36 Brewers host the 18-63 Colorado Rockies. Milwaukee has won seven of its last 10 games and is firmly in the NL Central and NL Wild Card races, while Colorado has the worst record in baseball by a sizeable margin. Lefty Jose Quintana (5-2, 2.98 ERA) starts for the Brewers while the Rockies have yet to name today's starting pitcher. The model is big on the Brewers on Friday, with Milwaukee winning in a whopping 77% of simulations at -220, bringing value at these odds and coming in as an 'A' grade.

With five games on the WNBA schedule, there's plenty of games to keep an eye on and bet on. One such matchup comes between the Phoenix Mercury and the defending champs, the New York Liberty. The Liberty have started their title defense in great fashion, opening the season with an 11-3 mark, which is tops in the Eastern Conference. As for the Mercury, they're second in the Western Conference with an 11-4 record. Phoenix is a slight underdog for this matchup of top WNBA contenders, and the spread is part of our WNBA best bets today ahead of this game, which tips off at 10 p.m. ET.
