Indiana and Phoenix are setting the pace in respective conferences thus far. The Fever has the best record in the league at 8-2 and is riding an impressive eight-game win streak. Indiana is also the best bet in the WNBA with 7-3 ATS mark, winning by almost five points per game (4.9). The league’s top scoring Mercury club is 8-4-1 against the number, being the best offensive team (91.6 PPG) and worst defensively (87.5). In recent years, Chicago has been a descent wager, not so this season at 3-9 ATS. Oddsmakers are trying to play catch-up with totals, as seven teams have played Over and just four have favored the Under.

Bet you didn’t know………..

Friday, July 10

San Antonio at Minnesota

Despite being 0-4 SU and ATS on the road, San Antonio pops up in a favorable system that could change their luck, at least from wagering perspective. The Silver Stars lost at Seattle 66-53 and Minnesota nipped Washington 96-94. Look to Play Against teams after a close win by three points or less against opponent after a loss by 10 points or more. This system is 23-5 ATS since 2005.

Indiana at Chicago

When these teams meet, they have generally have played Under and it could happen again despite current totals for each squad. Consider road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 140, off two consecutive wins against conference rivals, with winning percentage of 75 percent or more, play UNDER 75 percent or more of the time at 33-11.

Saturday, July 10

Los Angeles at Washington

Washington has been slumping of late losing four of last five. They could be poised to reverse that predicament since home favorites, playing three or less games in 10 days and having lost four or five of their last six games outings are 51-19 ATS since 1997.

Detroit at Connecticut

Two former WNBA heavyweights are struggling in 2009 to date. Connecticut appears to be in the better position to turn it around more quickly, as home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points, off a loss against a conference foe, playing with three or more days rest, are 15-5 ATS in last 20 tries.

Atlanta at New York

Both the Dream and Liberty are under .500 and the total could well be important in this Eastern Conference tilt. Home teams where the total is greater than or equal to 150 points, having lost three of their last four games and with a losing record, play OVER 72.3 percent of the time with 34-13 record.

Phoenix at Sacramento

These two clubs will play home and home starting in northern California. Though Phoenix is clearly the better team, quality underdogs like the Mercury, outscoring their opponents by three or more points per game, against opponent after a loss by 10 points or more, are 4-25 against the spread.

Sunday, July 12

Minnesota at San Antonio

The Lynx are 3-10 against the oddsmaker facing Western squads.

The Silver Swords are 1-5 ATS in last six meetings with Minnesota. (Not counting Friday)

Chicago at Seattle

The Sky hope for aerial assault in Seattle, leading the WNBA in three-point shooting at over 40 percent.

The Storm is 13-4 ATS in home games versus teams averaging 62 or more shots a game over the last two seasons.
