3 units on Phoenix -4.5 (-110)

Do you remember that 1991 song by C&C Music Factory, "Things That Make You Go Hmmmm"? Well this game reminds me of that song. Phoenix won five more games than LA t...

4 units on Sacramento -4.5 (-110)

While posting a 9-8 record at home, Minnesota is just 5-10 on the road where they allow a ridiculous 84.1 points per game. The Lynx are 16-29 ATS the past three seasons when pla...

5 units on Connecticut -4.5 (-120)

Connecticut is just 4-12 on the road, but don't mess with this team at home. Here at home they are 11-5. That's the reason they are favored over Indiana. Home favorites ...

Detroit at Chicago
Saturday 09/12 08:00 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

It has been a new era for both of these teams. The Sky are in need of a win to finish at .500 and have been great at home with an 11-4 mark. Last year the Shock cut down the net...

Saturday 09/12 08:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Seattle +6.5 (+100)

This has been a very trying year for San Antonio, who was all but invincible at home a year ago, but not so this year. A year ago, this team was 15-2 at home and blowing out jus...

Atlanta at Washington
Saturday 09/12 07:00 PM Eastern
4 units on Washington -7.5 (-110)

This looks like a fishy line with the Atlanta Dream at 18-15 and the Washington Mystics at 15-17. The Dream's work is done, as they will be in the playoffs and this is their...

Minnesota at Los Angeles
Friday 09/11 10:30 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

The Minnesota Lynx lost their best player early, and played competitively. They then hit a really horrific stretch that saw them lose nine out of 10 games. With their best playe...

3 units on Game Total UNDER 146 -110

3 units on Game Total OVER 145.5 +100

The Detroit Shock cut down the nets last year as WNBA Champs, and with a 9-14 mark almost 2/3 of the way through the season, this team seemed dead in an attempt to defend that t...

Detroit at Minnesota
Wednesday 09/09 08:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Minnesota -5.5 (-110)

The Minnesota Lynx endured a 1-9 stretch and, for a team that lost their best player early on, slumping badly heading down the stretch could of made it easy for them to pack it ...

Tuesday 09/08 10:30 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

This was supposed to be a game with huge playoff and division implications, but it won't be as these teams have both had disappointing seasons. The Silver Stars have played ...

04

Washington at Chicago
Friday 09/04 08:30 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

The Sky certainly has taken care of business at home with a 10-4 mark. The tell-tale here in this one for me is the fact that Washington played last night, and had a big emotion...

New York at Connecticut
Friday 09/04 07:00 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

The Connecticut Sun will have a good chance to stop the bleeding tonight at home vs. the last place New York Liberty. The Sun have dropped five straight, but the last four were ...

Seattle at Washington
Thursday 09/03 07:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Washington -2 (-110)

The Washington Mystics are still in the chase for the playoffs in the WNBA East, and that is due in part, to their 9-6 home mark on the season. Seattle sits comfortably in the N...

Connecticut at Sacramento
Tuesday 09/01 10:00 PM Eastern
5 units on Connecticut +1 (-110)

The bad news for Connecticut is that the season is winding down and they sit 1.5 games behind Atlanta for a playoff spot. The good news is they have back-to-back games against t...

Minnesota at San Antonio
Tuesday 09/01 08:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Minnesota +5 (-110)

The Minnesota Lynx have not been doing a lot of winning, but as bad as the breaks have gone against them, they did end a six-game losing streak against Sacramento. The losing st...

Phoenix at Detroit
Tuesday 09/01 07:30 PM Eastern
3 units on Detroit -1.5 (-110)

This has been a disappointing season for last year's WNBA Champions. They battled injuries early and just never got over the top, but the talent is still there. They have re...

Chicago at New York
Sunday 08/30 04:00 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

Chicago beat New York by 19 points on Friday night. I really like the Liberty to exact some revenge here at home, after that embarrassing loss. Heck, it really wasn't that s...

3 units on Connecticut +5 (-110)

The Connecticut Sun need a big effort here for two reasons. For one, a huge confidence boost going on the road and beating what is currently the best team in the West, and also ...

29

Sacramento at Indiana
Saturday 08/29 07:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Sacramento +8.5 (-110)

Detroit at San Antonio
Saturday 08/29 03:00 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

It has been a year of frustration for both of these teams, as both expected to contend again have failed. There is one very big factor at work here and as the season gets long, ...

28

New York at Chicago
Friday 08/28 08:30 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

This is another line that is saying without the home-court advantage, New York is the better team here. Chicago is 9-4 at home on the season while New York has won more games on...

Sacramento at Minnesota
Friday 08/28 08:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Minnesota -2 (+100)

A season that started with so much promise for the Lynx has turned disastrous. They have dropped their last six games and nine of their last 10. It hasn't exactly been a pic...

Connecticut at Seattle
Thursday 08/27 10:00 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

While neither of these teams aren't the caliber they were a year ago, they are both good candidates to make the playoffs, so this one should be played with intensity. While ...

Chicago at Los Angeles
Tuesday 08/25 10:00 PM Eastern

Detroit at Connecticut
Tuesday 08/25 07:00 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

The Detroit Shock are a long way from where they finished a year ago, cutting down the nets and claiming a WNBA Championship. This team has battled injuries and a coaching ...

22

Indiana at Seattle
Saturday 08/22 10:00 PM Eastern

Washington at Phoenix
Friday 08/21 10:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Washington +7 (-105)

The Phoenix Mercury will likely be the top seed in the West, and rightfully so. They got off to a very quick start at 12-4 and have been on cruise control since. The wins came e...

The LA Sparks have had a very disappointing season. They were supposed to be in the hunt for the WNBA Title, but won't be in the playoffs. They have been very poor on the ro...

Thursday 08/20 10:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Game Total UNDER 148.5 -110

5 units on Phoenix -2 (-105)

The Chicago Sky got off to a 6-2 start on the season and looked like big things were taking place, especially after a 5-0 start at home. Things have not come quite so easy since...

Seattle at Detroit
Tuesday 08/18 07:30 PM Eastern
4 units on Seattle -170 (moneyline)

The Seattle Storm has dropped six straight games ATS, but remain a top team in the league. I expect them to bring their "A" game to Detroit tonight as they will be out...

16

New York at Washington
Sunday 08/16 04:00 PM Eastern
4 units on New York +4.5 (-105)

Washington is definitely the better team and playing at home. But, the Mystics allow 78 points per game (nearly 84 per game over their last five), and that's a bad...

Los Angeles at Sacramento
Saturday 08/15 10:00 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

Sacramento has finally gotten something going as this team started 3-14, but has now been a much more respectable 4-3 in their last seven games. The biggest difference is a team...

15

Minnesota at Chicago
Saturday 08/15 08:00 PM Eastern
4 units on Minnesota +2.5 (+100)

The Sky has played well at home all year at 8-2, but after a 5-0 start, they are just 3-2 in their last five, and a few have been very tight. Minnesota is no slouch on the road ...

Phoenix at San Antonio
Saturday 08/15 08:00 PM Eastern
3 units on San Antonio -1.5 (-105)

The Phoenix Mercury rely on a fast-paced helter skelter style to take their opponents out of games, and play into their strength. The San Antonio Silver Stars aren't playing...

Detroit at Indiana
Saturday 08/15 07:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Detroit +6.5 (-105)

Seattle at Atlanta
Saturday 08/15 07:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Seattle +1 (-110)

The Storm has dropped six straight games to the spread, but remain one of the top teams in the WNBA. They enter this one with a 13-10 mark, and certainly a viable playoff team. ...

14

Chicago at New York
Friday 08/14 07:30 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

The Sky has been a no-show on the road this season as they have just three wins to show for 13 games. That is not a new trend for this team. The Sky has been part of the WNBA no...

Thursday 08/13 10:00 PM Eastern
4 units on San Antonio +6 (-110)

Indiana at Minnesota
Thursday 08/13 08:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Game Total UNDER 159 -110

13

Detroit at Atlanta
Thursday 08/13 07:30 PM Eastern
3 units on Atlanta -3 (-110)

Last year the Detroit Shock was cutting down the nets as WNBA Champion. This season is a far cry from what we saw from that team a year ago. The Atlanta Dream has played their w...

Seattle at Connecticut
Thursday 08/13 07:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Game Total OVER 145 -110

Neither of these teams resembles what they were a year ago, and has fallen short of expectations. Last year, these teams combined for a 43-25 mark, and this year just 24-19. Con...

New York at Los Angeles
Tuesday 08/11 09:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Game Total OVER 136.5 -110

This league certainly has changed offensively. Several years ago just one or two teams put up 70+ a game, but now just about all the teams do. So when you see a total sitting in...

Sacramento at San Antonio
Tuesday 08/11 08:05 PM Eastern
3 units on Sacramento +7 (+100)

The oddsmakers are treating this Silver Stars team like they are the same one that blew through the WNBA a season ago at home, winners of 15 of the 17 games played here. They st...

Detroit at Washington
Tuesday 08/11 07:05 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

When you compare these teams from what they were a year ago, there are no similarities. The Mystics were losing their last nine games, and last six at home, while the Shock were...

Indiana at Los Angeles
Monday 08/10 10:35 PM Eastern

It has been a much less successful season for the Los Angeles Sparks. A good reason is the heavily weighted road schedule they have played, and also missing their best all-aroun...

09

Chicago at Detroit
Sunday 08/09 06:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Detroit -7.5 (+100)

The Sky just can't play on the road. Despite a 8-2 home record, they are just 3-9 away from home, allowing a ridiculous 85.5 points per game. That's over nine point...

09

Washington at Connecticut
Sunday 08/09 03:00 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

The team with the worse record here is favored by five points. And I don't think it's enough. This is a big revenge situation. On June 6, the Mystics strolled in he...

New York at Seattle
Saturday 08/08 10:00 PM Eastern
4 units on Game Total OVER 141 -110

Friday 08/07 10:00 PM Eastern
3 units on New York +2 (+100)

Connecticut at Minnesota
Friday 08/07 08:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Minnesota -2 (+100)

Seattle at Los Angeles
Thursday 08/06 10:30 PM Eastern
3 units on Game Total OVER 135 +100

New York at Detroit
Tuesday 08/04 07:30 PM Eastern
3 units on Game Total OVER 149 -110

The Detroit Shock was always a defensive team under Bill Laimbeer. That has changed considerably under Coach Mahorn as the Shock have changed their entire approach to games, and...

Connecticut at Detroit
Sunday 08/02 06:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Connecticut +5 (-110)

Both of the two earlier matchups between these teams went to overtime, so getting five points on one team here is where the value lies. Detroit is only 3-4 at home on the season...

Indiana at Washington
Sunday 08/02 04:00 PM Eastern
4 units on Game Total UNDER 150 +100

This line has gotten inflated due to the fact that both of these teams have gone 4-1 OVER in their last five games. But the fact remains that very few Indiana games reach this m...

These two teams have been great over the past decade, making it to the palyoffs with regularity. That was then - this is now. In 2009, these are the worst two teams in the leagu...

Phoenix at New York
Sunday 07/26 04:00 PM Eastern
4 units on New York +2.5 (-110)

A 6-9 team is only getting about one basket from a 12-5 team. Seems like a trap to me and I'm not taking it. In fact, I like the 6-9 team quite a bit. The Liberty are coming...

Sacramento at Washington
Sunday 07/26 04:00 PM Eastern
4 units on Sacramento +5.5 (-110)

When a team starts as poorly as Sacramento did (3-14), there comes a time when they become a team to back. The oddsmakers start shading the lines, giving extra value each and ev...

3 units on Washington -6 (+100)

The Chicago Sky have really been an enigma. They have been one of the top defensive teams when playing at home, allowing just 71.8 points per game. That means they hold offenses...
