Lynx 86, Liberty 81

Moneyline

MINNESOTA (+194) is a tremendous value for the chance to nearly multiply up by 2 times.

If you can't bring yourself to bet Minnesota straight up on the ML, taking Minnesota +5.5 (-112) is the way to go.

The Lynx have been the kryptonite for the Liberty, winning 7 of the past 10 head-to-head contests, while going 6-3-1 ATS.

New York has won 4 regular-season games in a row, but it is just 1-5 ATS in the past 6 games, including the loss in the Commissioner's Cup Final.

Over/Under

OVER 165 (-110) is the lean here.

The total has gone Over in 5 of the past 6 games for the Liberty, including the loss June 25 to the Lynx. The Over is also 7-2 in the past 9 outings, while going 6-1 in the past 7 games at home.

For the Lynx, though, the Under has cashed in 3 of the past 4 regular-season games, although the total did go high in the Cup title game. Bet Over, but be careful.
