WNBA RECORD TO DATE 12-10 +$549
A small losing day yesterday but still plus for the year, there are three games on tap tonight and here is what I went with:
652 Atlanta -2 1/2 -1.01 $202 to win $200-Tough game to handicap at least for me. Atlanta was able to come back and win their last home game against Chicago after blowing a 12 point halftime lead while Phoenix was impressive in winning on the road at San Antonio which avenged a home loss in their last game. Atlanta has been horrible against the spread all year as they are only 1-6 against the number while Phoenix comes in at 2-2-1. These two teams both were eliminated in the conference finals last year so we are still dealing with two talented clubs. I think the line value just based on common opponents here really comes into play despite the results as take a look at the lines in games played against San Antonio. Atlanta was a 2 1/2 point favorite on the road against the Silver Stars while Phoenix was a 3 1/2 point underdog. I understand that the time frames are different when the teams played but the fact remains that the oddsmakers had those numbers set. Atlanta is still without forward Lyttle but has filled that void with Courtney Paris, I'll take a shot with the home team here but it is a smaller play for me.
654 San Antonio -2 1/2 -1.05 $420 to win $400-Los Angeles has played exactly one road game this year and they were dismantled by Minnesota while San Antonio will be playing tonight after dropping their first game of the year at home against Phoenix. In that game, the Silver Stars missed leading scorer Sophia Young who was out with a illness. Young should return tonight and this is a great situation spot in my opinion. The Sparks have been playing well at home and now the public is on them as they are the hot team but I think we are getting some tremendous line value with the home club. San Antonio was also able to defeat Los Angeles 3 out of 4 times last year and I'm laying the points with the home club here.
655 Minnesota/Seattle Under 152 1/2 -1.07 $321 to win $300-The teams met here back on June 9th with Minnesota pulling off a 81-74 upset which broke Seattle's 22 home game winning streak. The Storm may be without C Jackson tonight but I think this game will be lower scoring than people expect as both teams are very good defensively. The first game barely went Over and that saw Minnesota shoot 57.1% which is something that Seattle just usually does not allow. If the Storm do not have Jackson their offense will have to have problems and they haven't been playing that well on that end anyway. I like the Under here.
Best of luck to everyone tonight, have a great Friday night.
