🏆 Who will win Sky vs. Valkyries?
I like the Valkyries to win by just seven points today, meaning there's value on the Sky at +8.5. Golden State is tied with the Fever for the third-shortest WNBA championship odds, while the Sky are tied with the Tempo for the second-longest, so I understand why the Valkyries are favored. However, the spread should be tighter given how well Chicago has played lately.
Score prediction: Valkyries 88, Sky 81
💰 Sky vs. Valkyries prediction & best bet
Sky +8.5 (-105)
Since Diggins went down with a knee injury, the Sky have been underrated by the market, going 10-3 ATS in that span. Highlights include straight-up wins over the Aces and Mercury as 5.5- and 4.5-point underdogs, respectively.
With Chicago coming off a loss as a SU favorite against the Storm, this is also a good spot for the Sky. They're 6-1 ATS after their last seven SU losses and 3-0 ATS after their last three non-covers. Sky +8.5 (-105) at BetMGM is the best line available among the top sports betting sites.
🔥 Best Sky vs. Valkyries player prop bet
Kamilla Cardoso Over 14.5 points (+105)
This line is set a little lower - she was lined at 15.5 with extra juice on the Over last time out - but it's an overreaction to a) Cardoso scoring 15 points against the Storm and b) the Valkyries allowing fewer points per game than Seattle.
Cardoso has become more aggressive lately, attempting 12 or more field goals in four of her last six games, and she's been great off losses. She has scored 15 or more points in each of her last three games after a SU loss. Cardoso Over 14.5 points (+105) at BetMGM is the best line available among the top sports betting apps.
