For Saturday's opening night, I have to roll with strong home teams if I am going to roll with a team at all. In the WNBA it's all about movement. You can pick up some stats here and ther that are useful, but it all comes down to steam. BigMoney is very good at watching the line movement. I like situational plays pretty much the same as I do with the NBA. There's no expert system to save your ass in wagering on this sport but it is fun and easier than NBA to bet on.
For Saturday, I did see one move that has me intrigued. The Detroit Shock winners of the whole enchilada last year over my Silver Stars (Becky Hammon is hot), and I was sad for awhile because I was thoroughly convinced that San Antonio would play better than they did. that's neither here nor there.
Detroit came out favored in this game at Detroit-1.5 6/3/09 at the LVSC 10:24am. The line at LVSC is now Los Angeles-4.5. Now that's steam. The off shores have responded by making the Sparks a -5.5 favorite at some sites. Based upon the steam of the move and the Sparks new running style without Leslie to slow them down, I would take the game saw it in half and take them for the 1st half. The Sparks are notorious for getting big first half leads and then giving it all away when they get back door'd because of lacksadasical play down the stretch.
Sparks -3 1st half
The Mystics and the Sun are two teams with very opposite styles of play. The Sun are an up and down running team especially at home, and the Mystics can't shoot the side of a barn. So they kind of cancel each other out a bit. Bad shooting leads to the same thing as turnovers and that's long rebounds and breakways. The line started out at 149 at some places and is now 154. I like the chances of an over happening in this one.
Mystics/Sun over 154
