New York Liberty vs Minnesota Lynx Prediction
Another game the Lynx are underdogs, another game I’m grabbing the points. The New York Liberty are getting the benefit of the doubt, especially at home, but it’s the Lynx that are 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 games as an underdog. Thirteen of those 14 covers were outright victories. The Liberty are 6-9 ATS in their last 15 games when favorites of 5 or more points. I don’t know how many games we have to see to admit the Lynx are legit. The Lynx have been disrespected by oddsmakers all series. Give me the points as the Lynx have a real chance to win their fifth WNBA title.
See you folks next season.
