Top WNBA Betting Odds & Pick: Sky vs. Liberty
Chicago Sky vs. New York Liberty, 9:00 PM EST
Stealing game one on Wednesday as outright underdogs in Chicago, the Liberty relied on a heavy dose of their dynamic duo in Natasha Howard and Sabrina Ionescu. They each scored 22 points in their 98-91 win on the road. Knowing they’d at least get a game at home before being eliminated, the Liberty let off the pedal and got boat raced in game two a few days later, losing 62-100 in a game that was over in the first quarter; going down 10-31 early.
Really, the game down to a concerted effort on the defensive end from the Sky, as no player for the Liberty scored more than 10 points and no starter over eight. For the Sky, Kahleah Copper was the primary scorer, dropping 20 points, while Azura Stevens added another 14 off the bench.
The better team all season long who finished #2 in the WNBA standings, tied with the Aces, look for the Sky to roll in this one.
Bet: Chicago Sky -6.5 (-110 at DraftKings)
What is a betting spread?
A spread is an oddsmaker's way of "evening the playing field" so that the favorite and underdog have an equal chance of attracting bettors. In many sporting events, one team is much more likely to defeat its opponent. However, with a spread, the underdog is given an artificial number of points with which it can overcome its point differential and theoretically beat the favorite.
