Early WNBA 6/30

[Omni]

Just one so far this morning...

Seattle -4

 

[Omni]

Grabbing quickly..


Minny Lynx +8 1/2 at CRIS

 

[Omni]

Now for some breakdowns...

Minnesota Lynx + 8 1/2: Mostly a value in the line play. Lynx have won 2 going in and will be going for their third win in a row. Conn is coming off their win (but not cover) against Sac and once again I think they are slightly overvalued here. I'd make this line at more like -6, and i think the Lynx are good enough and want that third straight win enough to keep fighting and keep it close.

Seattle -4: OK, I've been backing Seattle and they've been losing. But having lost their last 3 games they now are coming in to play the worst team in the league in San Antonio.The last time these two teams met this year, Seattle was favored by 8 and did them by 28 (79-51). Seattle has been slipping lately, but this is a great spot for them to respond big against a bad team and get back into form. And if they don't, this game will tell us a lot about whether or not Seattle is for real...

We are definitely on the same page today. I love the value in Minnesota as they have been playing real solid ball of late & have moved up considerably in my ratings. I'd make the line around CT -4 or -5 at most right now. They have the team to go in there & win straight up.


You are 150% correct about Seattle. This is a huge statement game. They know they are double digits better then this team on their worst day. Anything short of a blowout will be upsetting as this game shouldn't be close.

I still think this team is for real quite frankly & won't let a few close losses of late sway my strong opinion on them. I still have them at the top. I thought they were heads above the rest of the league last year & they had a # of losses so I won't get swayed at the current record.

On a side note:

I'm most likely staying off of the Sac-Ny game. Quite frankly call me nuts but I still think Sacramento is the 2nd best team in the league. I know they lost to the Sun twice but if you really look into those two games, they should have won both. They blew a dd 2nd H lead against the Sun in Sacramento. They are not a team who usually blow huge leads so that was surprising & they were right with the Sun @ the Mohegan. They beat themselves yet again & never got over the hump.

The problem is NY is a wishy washy team at times. When they play to their capabilities, they can beat anyone in the league at home or on the road. The thing with them is you never know which team will come to play. They have the talent to win a championship, who knows if they'll ever get it together. Their talent is why I played them in futures as the price was too good for a team with that talent.


With this game, it could be wrong place wrong time for NY as Sacramento is itching for a win & a strong statement game or NY can flat out show up & play to their capabilities & beat them. This one on paper I'd clearly make Sac a fav even in NY but I'll most likely pass.

Yea, I already had decided last night that Sac/NY was a no play. I can't find a motivational edge for either team, and they are both coming off loses. It might be a close one. If one had to pick a side, best bet would be to grab Sac ML at + and flip the coin. But like you said, it's best to pass it. I had an under lean as well, but not strong enough to play.

Best of luck today.

with you on the Lynnx...got them at +7 though

Ok, that is the last bet I put on Seattle for a while.

By struggling and losing to the worst team in the league in this good a spot they have answerd my question. They are a fraud, and not worthy of being considered one of the top teams.

A very suprising 0-2 on the day with Conn blowing out another team.
