Expert WNBA moneyline picks for Aug. 26
Valkyries vs Sun pick: Golden State Valkyries
Due to a stark mismatch in baseline efficiency and head-to-head dominance it's a no-brainer roll with the playoff-bound Golden State Valkyries.
Holding a stellar 26-11 record compared to Connecticut Sun’s 10-27, Golden State has controlled this series, winning both previous meetings by double digits (97-70 and 79-64) with a average margin of +21.0 points.
The Valkyries entering on a 7-3 run while averaging 84.0 points per game, directly exploiting a struggling Sun defense that concedes 86.9 points per night.
With Connecticut further compromised by key interior injuries, Golden State's backcourt depth and defensive perimeter pressure make them an exceptionally safe straight-up wager.

Tempo vs Storm pick: Toronto Tempo
The Toronto Tempo remain the superior moneyline choice over the Seattle Storm tonight, even with playmakers Marina Mabrey and Brittney Sykes ruled out.
While missing their primary backcourt scoring presence shifts offensive responsibilities, Toronto’s defensive structure and frontcourt system are well-built to absorb the hit.
Center Temi Fagbenle provides a decisive interior edge, protecting the rim and anchoring secondary scoring along with veteran guard Kia Nurse stepping into expanded ball-handling duties.
With Seattle consistently struggling against physical defensive pressure, Toronto’s elite team transition defense and glass dominance give them the tactical edge to secure a straight-up victory tonight.
