New York Liberty +6 on the Line (+110)
Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing
The New York Liberty are facing off against the Minnesota Lynx, and this game looks really close. The Liberty have been playing well, and while the Lynx have a slight advantage in their recent games, it's not a big gap. Our numbers suggest this matchup is nearly even, and with the Liberty getting 6 points, it feels like a good chance for them to keep it close or even win. The main risk is that the Lynx are at home, where they usually play better. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 if it lands. The number next to the team is the handicap, and that team's score is adjusted by it before the bet is settled. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
Under 187.5 Total Points (-263)
Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing
Both the Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty have been playing solid defense lately, which makes me think they might struggle to score big in this game. We're betting on the total points being under 187.5 because our numbers suggest a combined total around 162.9. Plus, the Liberty have a bit of travel fatigue, which can affect their performance. The close win percentages hint that this could be a tight game, but with both teams focusing on defense, I really like the under on points here. It was priced at -263 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $13.80 if it lands. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. The bookmakers have this as a clear favourite. Our model likes this one a lot. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
