We have a 4 game slate today and I'm back with 3 plays. First up we have the Liberty taking on the Fever and I like Liberty early and often here against the bottom feeding Fever. I think they jump out quickly so I'm playing the 1Q -3.5.
For my second play I took the u160 in the Storm/Mercury game due to the Storm playing much better defense lately and being at home where they'll dictate the pace. Last up I took the Aces 1H -9.5 against the Dream in what is a back to back for the Dream. Just a horrible spot for them and I think they get hammered tonight by the league leading Aces.
Official Plays:
New York Liberty 1Q -3.5 -107 1.07u to win 1u
Phoenix Mercury/Seattle Storm u160 -105 1.05u to win 1u
Las Vegas Aces 1H -9.5 1.15u to win 1u
Liberty 1Q -3.5 is a loser as the Fever are playing them tough at home. Seems like I can't get the Liberty right. Either I bet against them and they play like the world beaters they're supposed to be or I bet on them and they can't cover which has been a problem for them all year. Two plays remaining to salvage a 2-1 day which I'd take any day.
Ok we get one as Seattle plays stingy defense and gets a victory in the process 81-71. Now we wait for the Aces game in an hour and see if we can grind out another winning day for the thread.
1-2 day for the thread as the Aces just couldn't pull away from the Dream in the 1H. Up next we have the commisioner's cup final between the two best teams in the league in the Aces and Liberty. Should be a good one on Tuesday so hopefully I can find a winner.
All right big showdown today as the Aces and Liberty meet again this time for the Commisioners's cup. This is a big deal for the players because they get $30000 a player for winning this game so they'll be playing this like its a championship game. That's why I like the Liberty to keep it close and if they can do that I believe they can steal one here even though its in Vegas. I took the 7.5 points but I also sprinkled on the juicy ML here for half a unit.
New York Liberty +7.5 1.11u to win 1u
New York Liberty ML +270 0.5u to win 1.35u
Nice easy winner with the Liberty today. They're playing like they're the best team in the league right now even though the Aces still have the best record. It'll be interesting to see what happens when these two teams go at it again Thursday night.
Tonight we get the 4th installment of Liberty vs Aces and the first three games have been blowouts with the Liberty winning 2 and the Aces getting one at home. Coming off the Commisioners Cup I think the Liberty will be satisfied with winning that game and won't come out nearly as intense on defense. Plus I think the Aces shooting won't be nearly as cold tonight especially since they're at home and they basically were ice cold the other night. I like the Aces tonight to win but I'm not laying 6.5 to 7 points so I'm going with the Aces in the 1H -4. They should be focused and motivated to play better because they got flat out embarrassed the last two games.

All good Pete I'm still posting plays when I have one and tonight I was looking for a way to bet the Aces because it just seems straight forward that they'll be ready to play tonight because they got their asses kicked the last two games. No other way to put it the Liberty have closed the gap between the two teams largely due to the improved play of their defense and Jonquel Jones. Also, the Aces aren't the same without Candace Parker. That's a huge loss for them and it hurts more than we realized.
Nice easy winner as the Aces turn the tables on the Liberty and easily win both the first half and the game by double digits. Tomorrow there is a huge 5 game slate with all but two of the teams in action. Hopefully I can keep up this recent hot stretch and find a couple of winners on the slate.

All right I'm back with 3 plays tonight on today's 5 game slate. First up I played Dallas +4 against the Connecticut Sun. This is a rematch of a game played before the mini break for the Commisioners cup so both teams will be rested. I think Dallas is able to hang around here and make this a close game so I'll gladly take the 4 points with the visitors.
The second game I like tonight is the Seattle Storm ML. Seattle is small underdog at home tonight and I think if you're betting this game just take the spread out of the equation and bet who you think is going to win the game. The Storm are having a tough season but they've been better lately and I think this is a winnable game for them at the house so I took their ML.
Last up we have the Liberty back in action against the Mercury. They are favored by 12.5 here and I think that's too many points. The Liberty are playing great right now but they're coming off two games in Vegas and this is their third game in 4 nights. I think they probably win here but I don't think they blow out the Mercury in Phoenix so I took the 12.5 points.
