Last Updated: June 27, 2023 5:20 PM EDT • 3 minute read X Social Google News Link
To headline Tuesday's WNBA slate, the Connecticut Sun will play host to the New York Liberty. Read on for our Liberty vs. Sun prediction based on the best WNBA odds.
A battle for the No. 2 spot in the WNBA standings will take place on Tuesday, when the New York Liberty (9-3) travel to face the Connecticut Sun (12-3) at Mohegan Sun Arena. The winner will stay within striking distance of the Las Vegas Aces (13-1) for the top spot in the W.
For the Liberty, a win ahead of their matchup with the Aces on Thursday could make that showdown even more important. New York has won three in a row, while Connecticut has claimed four straight. Yet the Liberty are road favorites via our best sports betting apps.
Here is our best Liberty vs. Sun prediction (odds via BetMGM; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

I'm fully willing to admit that my numbers might be slow to catch up to what the Liberty have been doing lately. I was on the Atlanta Dream +8 last weekend, but that ticket never had a chance as the Liberty rolled to a 30-point victory.
Still, I see reason to back the Sun as home underdogs in this one. For one, my model actually makes Connecticut a slight favorite.
The Liberty are also coming off an overtime win over the Washington Mystics just two days ago and have a matchup with the Aces set for Thursday. Playing three of the top four teams in five days is a brutal stretch for anyone, particularly with two of those contests taking place away from home.
The Sun, meanwhile, are coming off a 24-point victory over the Chicago Sky and won't have to play again until July 1 when they travel to Las Vegas. Connecticut is a balanced team, ranking third in both offensive rating and defensive rating to this point in the season.
Despite being the only team to defeat the Aces and ranking second in the league with a dozen wins, the Sun continue to be undervalued by the best sports betting sites. We will take the points in a game the Sun might just win outright, though this is only a three-star play due to how good the Liberty look right now.

The best sportsbooks have come to an agreement on where this line should be since we took advantage of a 5.5-point spread on Tuesday morning. The best price is now at FanDuel, which is offering a -102 vig to play +4.5 with the Sun.
We will continue to monitor the prop market at the best live betting sites throughout the day, as there will likely be more ways to wager on this marquee matchup.
