If you didn’t get your fix of seeing the best of the best go against each other in Tuesday’s MLB All-Star Game, you’re in luck.
More stars will be in action on Saturday night, when Team WNBA goes up against Team USA in the WNBA All-Star Game.
We won’t be completely looking past baseball, though. After all, how could you with all 30 teams in action?
Here are Saturday’s best bets to kick off your weekend:
Team USA at Team WNBA
No one heads to an All-Star Game eager to showcase their defensive prowess—in basketball, at least.
There should be no shortage of points in this one, and all eyes will be on Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese and how the two rookies mesh while playing alongside each other on Team WNBA.
There’s been bad blood between Clark and Reese ever since their college days, when the former was at Iowa and the latter was at LSU. Reese insists that come Saturday, “everybody can wear their ‘Get Along’ shirts together for one day.
But we aren’t buying that for a second.
Reese is going to be trying to steal the spotlight from Clark. And you know what? She just might succeed.
Clark won’t be a non-factor by any means, but Reese has a chance to hamper the former Hawkeyes star’s production while boosting her own, and that opportunity has to be too good to pass up in her eyes.
The pick: Angel Reese to score 15+ points, +126 (FanDuel)

Chicago White Sox at Kansas City Royals
Kansas City shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. is absolutely tearing the cover off the ball.
Witt clearly stayed locked in during the All-Star break, going 3-for-3 with a home run and two RBIs when regular-season action resumed on Friday night. He’s put up video-game numbers over his past 13 games, going 24-for-51 (.471) with five homers, 12 RBIs and 14 runs.
On second thought, those stats might not even be achievable in the virtual world.
Jonathan Cannon (1-3, 4.41 ERA) is scheduled to get the nod for the White Sox on Saturday, and he has yet to prove himself outside of Chicago. The right-hander is 0-2 with a 6.62 ERA away from home in 2024, meaning Witt and the Royals should have no problem jumping all over him.
The pick: Bobby Witt Jr. to record 2+ hits, +125 (FanDuel)

Boston Red Sox at Los Angeles Dodgers
The Red Sox took a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the eighth in Friday night’s game against the Dodgers before Freddie Freeman spoiled Boston’s shutout with a grand slam.
It certainly won’t take eight innings for multiple runs to go up on the board on Saturday.
Boston’s Brayan Bello (10-5, 5.32) will be going up against Los Angeles’ Justin Wrobleski (0-1, 6.30), so we should all be patiently waiting to see who gets shelled first.
Neither pitcher has been able to hold opponents at bay, with Wrobleski giving up eight runs (seven earned) across his first two major league starts and Bello struggling ever since the calendar flipped to May, posting a 6.29 ERA over his past 12 outings.
It’s a good thing this game is being played at Dodger Stadium, because the manual scoreboard attendant behind the Green Monster would have been tuckered out by the third inning if this game was at Fenway on Saturday.
The pick: Over 9 runs, -115 (FanDuel)
