Washington Mystics at Chicago Sky odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Washington Mystics at Chicago Sky odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Washington Mystics (8-22) and Chicago Sky (11-18) meet Wednesday at Wintrust Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mystics vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Mystics have won their past 2 games, while covering in 3 in a row. Washington is looking for a season-high 3rd consecutive victory. The Under has cashed in the past 3 outings, too.

Although the Sky have dropped 3 in a row, Chicago is a solid 3-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 4 outings. The Under and Over have alternated in each of the past 9 games dating back to July 10.

Chicago rookie Angel Reese has been unreal lately, posting 20 or more rebounds in 3 consecutive outings. She is the 1st player in WNBA history to record 20 or more rebounds in 3 straight games. She had a career-best 22 boards against Las Vegas last time out, and she is averaging a ridiculous 14.3 points, 20.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocked shots per game in the past 3 outings.

This is the 1st meeting in Chicago. The Sky won the 1st meeting in D.C. on June 6, a 79-71 win as a 3-point favorite, while cashing the Under (156). In the 2nd meeting, Washington edged Chicago 83-81 as a 2.5-point underdog as the Over (158.5) connected.

Mystics at Sky picks and predictions

Prediction

Mystics 80, Sky 75

Moneyline

While Chicago (+118) has been the better team this season, WASHINGTON (-144) is red-hot lately, and searching for its 3rd consecutive victory.

The Mystics are catching the Sky at the right time, as Chicago has dropped 3 in a row despite the fact Reese has been piling up the rebounds lately. In fact, the Sky have won just twice in the 8 outings since July 11. Back the visitors.

Against the spread

If you’re a little more adventurous, forget about the moneyline and take WASHINGTON -2.5 (-108) on the road.

The Mystics have won 5 of the past 6 meetings, too, while going 4-1 ATS in the past 5 in the series. Washington has covered 3 in a row since Aug. 18, and it is 15-5 ATS in the past 20 games.

On the flip side, while the Sky is 3-1 ATS in the past 4 contests, they’re just 2-5 ATS in the past 7 games at home.

Over/Under

UNDER 158.5 (-110) is worth a look, but go lightly.

The Under has hit in 5 of the past 6 meetings, although the Over hit in the most recent battle on June 14.

The total has gone low in 3 straight for the Mystics, while going 5-2 across the previous 7 games.

Las Vegas Aces at Chicago Sky odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Las Vegas Aces at Chicago Sky odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces (17-11) and Chicago Sky (11-17) meet Sunday at Wintrust Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for noon ET (CBS). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Aces are reeling after losing 2 straight to the Minnesota Lynx and 4 of 5 — including one to the Sky 93-85 in Chicago July 16. C A’ja Wilson returned from the Olympic break in quiet fashion with 15-9-6 (p/r/a) Wednesday and posted 24-7-3 Friday. G Kelsey Plum had just 11 points while hitting two 3-pointers Friday, and they need her secondary scoring.

The Sun nearly completed the upset over the Connecticut Sun Friday as they fell 82-80. F Angel Reese continues to be a beast in the middle with 13 points and 20 boards. She’s averaging 14.3 points and 16.5 boards in 4 games since returning from the Olympic break. The Sky upended the Aces 93-85 right before the All-Star break as G Chennedy Carter had 34 points

Aces at Sky picks and predictions

Prediction

Sky 87, Aces 85

Moneyline

I don’t like what I have seen from Vegas since the month-long break. They clearly aren’t on the same page, and Chicago may have taken advantage of that in the July 16 game before the All-Star break.

Let’s go big or go home and bet on the Sky to do the same thing — this time on their home court. Take the SKY +265.

Against the spread

Even if Chicago can’t put the nail in the coffin, I still like it catching 7.5 here. Vegas is just 2-8 ATS in its last 10. Chicago is 2-2 ATS since the break, but those 2 defeats were blowouts by the Phoenix Mercury.

Take the SKY +7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Sky are 5-5 O/U in their last 10 and 2-2 since the break. Vegas is 4-6 O/U in its last 10 and 1-3 since the break. The final scores of the earlier meetings were 93-85 and 95-83.

We’re going OVER 166.5 (-110).

Chicago Sky at Connecticut Sun odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Chicago Sky at Connecticut Sun odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago Sky (11-16) visit the Connecticut Sun (20-7) on Friday. Tip from Mohegan Sun Arena is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ION). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Sky vs. Sun odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Sun lead 2-0

The Sky lost 86-68 to the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday while failing to cover as 8-point road underdogs. F Angel Reese scored a team-high 19 points and grabbed 20 rebounds for a double-double while 4 total Chicago players scored in double figures. The Sky shot 35.9% from the field in the loss.

Connecticut got back in the win column after taking down the Los Angeles Sparks 69-61 on Tuesday while failing to cover as 13.5-point home favorites. G Dijonai Carrington scored a game-high 19 points while 3 Sun players scored in double figures. The Sun shot 38.4% from the field in the win.

Sky at Sun picks and predictions

Prediction

Sun 83, Sky 77

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Sun, who are 10-3 at home, to win on Friday.

Against the spread

LEAN SKY +11.5 (-110).

The Sky are 2-2 ATS in their last 4 games as a 9-point or more underdog while the Sun are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a 8-point or more favorite. While the Sun have the advantage, Reese’s ability to grab boards while facilitating the offense is what will keep Chicago in reach of covering.

Over/Under

BET OVER 154.5 (-110).

The Sky have hit the Over in 5 of their last 7 games on the road. They have also allowed 85 or more points in each of their last 4 games and 84 or more in 7 of their last 9. Connecticut has allowed 82 or more in 3 of its last 4.

Chicago Sky at Phoenix Mercury odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Chicago Sky at Phoenix Mercury odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago Sky (11-15) and Phoenix Mercury (14-13) meet at Footprint Center Sunday. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Sky vs. Mercury odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Mercury lead 1-0

These teams just met Thursday in the 1st game back from the Olympic break, with Phoenix posting an 85-65 win at Wintrust Arena in Chicago as a 5.5-point favorite as the Under (163) cashed.

Mercury G Kahleah Copper, playing in her 1st game back in Chicago since being traded, rolled up a game-high 29 points on 12-of-29 shooting with 3 triples. C Brittney Griner added 23 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocked shots and 2 steals on 10-of-12 shooting.

The Sky rebounded from that sound beating, picking up a 90-86 win at Los Angeles on Friday night as a 2.5-point favorite as the Over (160.5) cashed. Despite the cover, Chicago is still just 5-7 against the spread (ATS) in the past 12 games. The Over and Under have alternated in the past 6 outings.

Sky rookie F Angel Reese had 14 points and 11 rebounds in 34 minutes in L.A., and she went for 11 points with 15 boards in the 1st battle with Phoenix on Thursday.

  • Over/Under (O/U): 166.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Sky at Mercury picks and predictions

Prediction

Mercury 87, Sky 76

Moneyline

In this rematch from Thursday, Phoenix (-355) is likely to get the win again. However, you cannot risk more than 3 times your potential return. That’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward, even if you were to fold this pick into a multi-leg parlay.

PASS, and focus on the spread instead.

Against the spread

PHOENIX -7.5 (-108) is a strong play at home. The Mercury just routed Chicago +7.5 (-112) by 20 points at Wintrust Arena on Thursday. There is no reason to believe the Sky will suddenly turn things around, especially in the Valley of the Sun.

Chicago pushed around Los Angeles last time out, but that’s because the Sparks are missing rookie Cameron Brink, and they’re a bit undersized. The Mercury certainly have the size in the middle, as well as a balanced attack with solid perimeter shooting.

Over/Under

UNDER 166.5 (-110) is a strong play in this rematch in the desert.

The Under (163) easily cashed in their game on Thursday, with 150 combined points. The Sky defense has been leaky lately, allowing 81 or more points in 5 straight outings, and 7 of the previous 8 contests.

For Phoenix, the Over has cashed in 5 of the past 6 games, but that lone Under was against the Sky.

Phoenix Mercury at Chicago Sky odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Phoenix Mercury at Chicago Sky odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Phoenix Mercury (13-12) visit the Chicago Sky (10-14) Thursday for the 1st WNBA action in almost a month due to its Olympic break. Tip from Wintrust Arena is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mercury vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting of season

Phoenix snapped a 2-game losing streak with a 96-87 win over the Washington Mystics while covering as a 4.5-point road favorite in its last game on July 16. C Brittney Griner, who was part of Team USA that took home gold, scored a game-high 23 points while the Mercury had 5 players  score in double digits. The team shot 53.8% from the field in the win.

Chicago snapped a 2-game losing streak with a 93-85 win over the Las Vegas Aces to cover as a 13-point road underdog in its last game on July 16. G Chennedy Carter led all scorers with 34 points while F Angel Reese had a double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds). The Sky shot 48.6% from the field in the win.

Mercury at Sky picks and predictions

Prediction

Mercury 87, Sky 79

Moneyline

PASS.

There is better value on the Phoenix spread.

Against the spread

BET MERCURY -2.5 (-115).

The Mercury had 3 players (Griner, G Kahleah Copper, and 6-time gold winner G Diana Taurasi) on the US Olympic team this summer which will play a large role in the fluidity of the team returning to WNBA play after extended time off. Phoenix has been hot offensively over its recent games while the same is not to be said about Chicago. The Sky’s offense largely revolves around Carter and Reese while the team has scored 78 or fewer points in 4 of its last 5 games.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 165.5 (-110).

While both teams are coming off a near-month break, expect a fast pace in Thursday’s matchup. The Mercury have scored 84 or more points in 5 of their last 6 games and 82 or more in 8 of their last 10 while allowing 83 or more in 7 of their last 8 games. The Sky have allowed 81 or more in 7 of their last 10 including 5 of their last 6.

Chicago Sky at Las Vegas Aces odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Chicago Sky at Las Vegas Aces odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago Sky (9-14) and Las Vegas Aces (16-7) meet Tuesday at Michelob ULTRA Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Sky vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Aces lead 1-0

The Sky fell 81-67 Saturday at home against the New York Liberty — Chicago was a 3.5-point underdog and the Under (164) hit. F Angel Reese’s double-double streak ended at 15 games as she finished with 8 points and 16 rebounds. The rookie out of LSU was essentially quadruple-teamed late in the game to keep her from getting the lone bucket needed to continue it. The Sky have lost 3 of 4.

After a bit of a lull, the Aces have won 10 of 11, most recently prevailing 89-77 at the Washington Mystics Sunday. They came up short of covering as 12.5-point favorites and the Under (172.5) cashed. F A’ja Wilson dominated with 28 points and 17 boards Sunday. She is averaging 29.6 PPG and 15.4 RPG over the last 5 games, which is just an insane stretch. However, Las Vegas is just 6-4 ATS in its last 10 games.

Sky at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 89, Sky 72

Moneyline

The Sky have dropped from +700 to +625 underdogs by Tuesday afternoon, but the spread has remained the same. Meanwhile, the Aces went from -1100 to -1000. There is no play here because the Sky are rightfully considerable dogs in this one.

Instead, I’m taking ANGEL REESE OVER 13.5 POINTS (+105). Now, she hasn’t hit this number in 3 consecutive games, but she had 18 points against the Aces June 27. She steps up to these challenges.

Against the spread

The fact that the spread has not changed despite the MLs moving a bit tells me this one is right on point. The Aces beat the Sky by 12 in Chicago. Vegas has won by 19+ in their last 3 home games.

LEAN ACES -13.5 (-105).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The Sky are going to need 80 points to cash this Over because Vegas hasn’t touched 90 in 3 straight. The Aces are 4-6 O/U in their last 10, and Chicago is 5-5.

I’m taking the UNDER 173.5 (-110).

New York Liberty at Chicago Sky odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s New York Liberty at Chicago Sky odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Liberty (19-4) and Chicago Sky (9-13) meet Saturday at Wintrust Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (ABC). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Liberty vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Liberty lead 2-1

The Liberty are shooting for their 20th victory of the season. After losing 90-81 against the Sky at Barclays Center as a 16.5-point favorite May 23, New York has bounced back with 2 straight wins by at least 13 points against Chicago. The Liberty covered both of those outings, too.

The Over is 2-1 in the 3 meetings between these teams, with the Liberty averaging 86.7 points per game (PPG) while allowing 80.3.

The Sky have won 3 of their past 5 games, but they lost the front end of the back-to-back set with New York Thursday. The Sky are also 3-2 ATS in the span.

Rookie F Angel Reese scored 10 points with 10 rebounds against the Liberty Thursday, and she has 15 consecutive double-doubles. She is averaging 12.0 PPG and 9.7 RPG in 3 meetings with the Liberty this season.

  • Over/Under (O/U): 163.5 (O: -112 | U: -108)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Liberty at Sky picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 86, Sky 79

Moneyline

New York (-265) will cost you nearly 3 times your potential return, and that’s quite expensive. Remember, while the Liberty have won the past 2 meetings, including Thursday, by at least 13 points, this is also a New York team which lost as a double-digit favorite to Chicago earlier in the season.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

Backing NEW YORK -5.5 (-112) is the best play. The Liberty have dominated the past 2 meetings, winning by an average of 14.0 PPG. Chicago +5.5 (-108) has managed a 5-11 ATS mark in the past 16 games.

The Sky are 2-6 ATS in the past 8 games at home, too, including a 13-point loss to the Liberty June 4 in the most recent meeting at Wintrust Arena.

On the flip side, the Liberty are 6-2 ATS in the past 8 tries on the road.

Over/Under

OVER 163.5 (-112) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

For the Liberty, they have cashed the Under in 4 of the past 5 games, but the lone Over result was Thursday at home against the Sky, cashing by a half-point at most shops on a total of 166.5.

The Sky have hit the Over at a 3-2 mark in the past 5 games while going 9-4 in the past 13 outings, including a slight 4-3 edge to the Over in the past 7 home contests.

The Chicago Sky (8-11) and Seattle Storm (13-7) meet Sunday at Climate Pledge Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Sky vs. Storm odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

This is the 2nd of back-to-back games in Seattle as these teams faced off Friday with the Sky coming away with an 88-84 victory. F Angel Reese had her best scoring game of her young career with a career-high 27 points, while also pulling down 10 boards. She has a WNBA single-season record of double-doubles in 12 straight games. G Chennedy Carter also shook off her All-Star snub with a season-high 33 points.

All 5 of Seattle’s starters were in double figures, led by G Jordan Horston’s 20 points. Prior to the loss, the Storm had won 4 in a row, and all by double digits. G Jewell Loyd, who leads the team with 19.3 PPG, had just 13 and went 0-for-6 from distance in Friday’s defeat.

Sky at Storm picks and predictions

Prediction

Storm 81, Sky 77

Moneyline

I look for the Storm to bounce back, but no thanks on the -500 ML. I’ll take JEWELL LOYD UNDER 20.5 POINTS (-115) instead. In 2 games against Chicago, she has 13 and 19 points. It’s worth the roll of the dice.

Against the spread

The Sky have won 2 in a row in convincing fashion, and I think they are an ascending team. Carter and Reese are taking their games to another level. Look for them to keep this within 10. BET SKY +9.5 (-115).

Over/Under

This total is a little high for me as I look for some regression from Chicago on the road. The Storm are just 5-5 O/U in their last 10, and they scored 89+ in the 3 games before Friday. Look for them to make some adjustments and pull out a close one. Take the UNDER 164.5 (-125).

You may love betting on sports, but during the dog days of summer, the pickings can get slim. You can fill some of that time and scratch that itch at online casinos and enjoy slots, blackjack, video poker and more.
