WNBA Betting Picks

Phoenix at Washington: The Mystics have done a decent job dealing with all of the injuries and they’re going to be short-handed once again tonight, without two of their top players. The Mercury have been up-and-down this season and play decent on the road, although they lost here 85-80 earlier in the month. The Mercury are favored by 2 and the total is 162, while my numbers made it 86-83 in favor of Washington, but that doesn’t take into consideration the loss of Washington’s two leading scorers.
New York at Connecticut: The Sun is favored by 6 and the total is 168, while my numbers make it Connecticut 87-82. Too close for comfort on either the side or the total, so will stay far away from this one. The Sun have been playing solid basketball and raced to the top of the Eastern Conference standings, while the Mystics are battling the injury bug. Connecticut has won its last six games and now has a two-game lead over Washington.
Indiana at Minnesota: The Lynx come into this one off of a pair of losses and they were upset by the Feveer the last time they played. Minnesota is favored by 15.5 with a total of 157 and my numbers make it 87—73, so you’re paying a small premium to back a group of unhappy Lynx players.
Los Angeles at Chicago: The Sparks were not able to avoid a letdown after defeating Minnesota, but rebounded with a big win over Washington and now face a Chicago team that hasn’t been very good at home this season. Los Angeles is favored by 7.5 and the total is 165.5, while my numbers make it 87-82 in favor of the Sparks. Chicago has been streaky lately and are capable of giving the Sparks a game in this one. The Sky has won three in a row and will go ahead and tab Chicago as our play for tonight.
San Antonio at Seattle: This is obviously a huge letdown spot for the Storm, which is coming off a win over Minnesota and soundly defeated San Antonio in this location earlier in the season. But it’s also fairly predictable and Seattle is favored by 9.5 with a total of 156. My numbers make it Seattle 87-71 and would probably take the road dog if I had to play it, bit will stay away as the price seems a bit on the short side.
