00:00But still a lot going on in sports atmosphere, which includes the WNBA.
00:04Only two games on the docket tonight, Joe.
00:06One at 8 o'clock, one at 10 o'clock Eastern.
00:08Game number one, we'll talk about the Seattle Storm taking on the Dallas Wings.
00:11The Dallas Wings, two straight wins here.
00:14Has them at 5-3 technically in a tie for third here in the WNBA standings.
00:19Things haven't worked out all that well for the Storm.
00:21And as you can see the number, Joe, opening line around 10.5.
00:25Graphic states 12.5 now in a total of 168.5.
00:29What's the spread line today, Joe?
00:31Storm, Wings.
00:33Well, the Wings are rolling here, Donnie.
00:36I mean, Jessica Shepard alone, what, 22 points, 20 boards, 10 assists.
00:42Her second triple-double of the season.
00:45Something tells me she's going to have a lot more here for the Dallas Wings,
00:49who have a ton of depth.
00:51I mean, my goodness here.
00:52They got Seattle coming to town.
00:54Seattle's had a rough go.
00:55They've won some impressive games, but they're sitting at 3-6, Donnie.
00:59And it feels like the Dallas Wings, they got the draft picks they want.
01:03They are building a pretty winning organization there.
01:07They are somebody to keep an eye on, because I don't know that the market
01:10has exactly adjusted accordingly here for just how good this Dallas Wings team is.
01:17Now, but a little first place versus last place, Joe.
01:19Take a look at the Minnesota Lynx on the road, but they sit at the top of the WNBA standings
01:23at 6-2 on the season.
01:25They're going to face the Phoenix Mercury, who are 2-7 on the season, Joe.
01:29Overnight lines kind of mixed here, minus 1.5, minus 2.5.
01:32But now you see that graphic.
01:34The Lynx on the road as a favorite at minus 3.5 points in a total of 167.5.
01:39First versus last, Joe.
01:41Lynx and Mercury, what's the spread line here?
01:44Well, two teams going in two totally different directions, right, Donnie?
01:47I mean, you've got the Minnesota Lynx now, who have rattled off their, what are they, 6-2?
01:52I think they've rattled four straight, and they now have the best record in the WNBA here.
01:59And they're going to be heading into this whole Commissioner's Cup thing.
02:02And the Mercury, unfortunately, they can't buy a win.
02:05And I think it's five straight now, and the schedule makers didn't do them any favors
02:10because the schedule has been absolutely brutal.
02:13But Phoenix is a young team.
02:15I don't know how Minnesota's doing it.
02:17And if he's a call, you don't forget, one of the best players in the WNBA is out.
02:22And Minnesota doesn't have them, and yet they're still rattling off a ton of wins.
02:25They look great, and they look, once again, like the team to beat.
02:29So tonight, the focus is going to be more Major League Baseball and the WNBA.
02:33And the WNBA, Joe, is where we get started today on the Cal State Marketplace.
02:36Storm versus Wings tonight, 8 p.m. Eastern.
02:39Look at Dallas, an 83% chance, according to Cal State, to win this game.
02:43The yes contract is 84 cents.
02:46Not a big payout, Joe.
02:47A $100 investment on Dallas tonight.
02:50If they win, pays back $120.
02:52Heavy favorite here for Dallas going up against the Storm.
02:57Yeah, listen, you've got to love Dallas.
02:59Dallas, they're getting it rolling in the right direction here.
03:03This Jessica Shepard is absolutely somebody in the prop market that you want to keep an
03:08eye on here.
03:09She's coming off a game where she just dropped 22 points, got 20 rebounds, 10 assists, second
03:16triple-double of the season.
03:18And again, they're 5-3 on the season, Donnie.
03:21So she is killing it here.
03:23And we already know about Fudd.
03:25We know about the rookie.
03:27I mean, this team is loaded, and they're running teams over.
03:31This could be a rough one for the Seattle Storm here tonight.
03:35I think the Dallas Wings, and I think maybe even a team total, might be a worth look to
03:40the over here tonight.
03:42And also, if you're looking on the Cal State Marketplace, player props always included.
03:46Paige Beckers to score 20-plus points.
03:48That yes contract is 51 cents.
03:49You look at three of her last four games, Joe, 24, 24, and 20 here.
03:54The only outlier was a seven-point performance and a loss to Atlanta here.
03:58So if you think she can get 20, it's roughly around 50-50, $100 investment.
04:01That pays back $197.
04:03Let's keep it in the WNBA tonight.
04:05The nightcap out on the West Coast here.
04:07The Lynx taking on the Mercury.
04:09Looking at the Cal State Marketplace, a 59% chance for Minnesota to win this game, which
04:15means a 60-cent contract.
04:17So $100 investment pays back $167.
04:20A team in the Lynx here, first place going up against the Mercury, one of the teams in
04:24the last place, Joe.
04:26Yeah, it's amazing what the Lynx are doing.
04:28Six and two.
04:30This is, Donnie, one of your favorite times, because this opens up the Commissioner's Cup
04:34play here tonight.
04:36And listen, Minnesota's rolling.
04:38Even though one of the best players in Collier here in the WNBA got hurt and is out for the
04:45season for them, they are still rolling right now.
04:48And the Phoenix Mercury, I don't know who they got mad at whoever's making the schedule,
04:54but didn't do them any favors.
04:56It's a five-game losing streak.
04:57We knew it was going to be a long year for the Phoenix Mercury, but boy, oh boy, it's
05:03going to get uglier before it begins to get any better.
05:06I think Minnesota rolls tonight here.
05:09They're proving once again they could very well be one of the best teams in the WNBA this
05:14year.
