1u  29-16


WASHINGTON +8.5 ( 3 units )

Liberty laying way too many points here. According to my charts they should only be a -6.5. This is horrible team when installed as a favorite. I've mentioned this numerous times. The last time they were this high a chalk was back on 7/28 facing the same team today, the Washington Mystic. The Final score back then was NY 75 WASH 71. Since then , they have faced each other two more times with the Mystic winning outright as a home dog. This is the fourth meeting in less than 3 weeks. When teams play this often in such a short span logic says to lean towards taking the points. Langhorne and company haven't packed it in yet.

ATL / LA OVER 162.5 ( 3 units )

The Dream did burn me on Saturday by shooting 58% from the field. All i ask is to shoot close to 48 % today and this game will fly over the total. Can they achieve this number against the Sparks ? Yes i think so ! Los Angeles isn't a very good team getting back in the transition and i see a lot of points in the paint by both teams. The sparks lead the league in putting teams on line. Candace Parker is probable for this game. If she does play she'll get about 20 minutes. I'll gladly take the contribution.

SEATTLE + 7 ( 1 unit )

Here i go again taking the Storm. This time around getting points instead of laying. I'd rather go this route with a team that's struggling with turnovers. The Storm have been on the losing side of a blowout in two out of the last three games. They've fallen to  fourth place in the West and this is a gut check game for them.

CONNECTICUT +1.5 ( 1 unit )

10-2 SU at home and getting points !!! I couldn't resist. I realize their opponent is Minnesota but this line is inaccurate. Simply betting this game out of principal. Connecticut has been one of the best teams at home during the past two years. I remember reading one of their team blogs early in the year that they are the only team in the WNBA that prepares for  their home games by scrimmaging with Men. Very interesting.

good luck

Hey Dimes,

I am suprised not to see you on Atlanta. The power rating have them as a 5 point favorite. Any insight on this game?

With you 44.... PODis Washington+8.5 thats way to much..washington lost a lot of close games this season and already beat NY.

Seattle +7, Atlanta,Conneticut+1.5 and Indiana aswell.

Candace Parker is probable for this game and if she doesn't contribute on the court she will definitely give the team a practical boost. I don't want to be on the other side of this so I'm laying off the game.I wouldn't be able to talk you out of a Dream play for that matter.

gl whatever you decide.

GL------------I'm having a hard time getting a  read on the Silver Stars. Not sure how they will respond. I think I'm gonna wait a few games and pick a spot.

And very inaccurate. Phoenix does this for years. And other teams do too I'm sure.

I'm sure your right MB-------I read this somewhere Early in the season  about Connecticut. Couldn't recall  the article mentioning other teams so i assumed Thibault was the only coach that does this.

goodluck

Hey 44, sorry to see you lost your big game over the weekend but keep on trucking buddy, it happens. I'm with you on the Atlanta Over tonight and also Connecticut but I went with the Liberty and Mercury myself. I basically think the same thing about the two plays I'm with you on and think the opposite about the other ones, you can check out my thread if you want for my reasoning. Either way keep on fighting my friend and best of luck tonight.

GL buddy

G.L.

Im wondering if that Conn.line goes up some,I have +1.5 now,cant see it going down against Minn.,they sure are tuff this year with their best player staying healthy this year.
If Parker doesnt play you have a great line on Atl.at a pick,you think her first game back she plays 20 mins huh,has she been on the court much getting ready,could of swore she was out for year,but its the wnba,the league with no info.

GL tonight,good looking card.

  Always appreciate your write ups!  Good Luck.  Sparks OVER!

Another thing I noticed,Wash.L-10 games were up or covering 4 in 9 of them,Ind.was the only one that they were losing big,
any thoughts on a FH play on Wash.getting 4?

DREAM only a PICKEM????

 

This tells me trap trap trap   sparks win.... any thoughts sir 44?
