00:00Let's flip it over to the WNBA tonight, Joe.
00:02We got a triple header, 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock, and 10 o'clock.
00:05How about game number one at 7 o'clock, the Atlanta Dream in the Chicago Sky.
00:09Angel Reese, anybody?
00:11Look at this number, minus 6.5 is the opening number.
00:14You see the graphic up to 7.5 as a favorite to the road team, the Atlanta Dream, 164.5.
00:19Angel Reese back in the house in Chicago.
00:24Yeah, right, the team that drafted her, right, her first return home here,
00:28and she loves the Atlanta Dream, and they love her as they sit 7-3.
00:32Meanwhile, the Chicago Sky kind of hanging around under .500 at 4-7,
00:38and Chicago has just struggled, let's face it.
00:42They lost Ricky Lee Jackson, who was—they got in a trade from the Sparks in the offseason,
00:50and it's not been good for them.
00:52Inconsistent scoring, not exactly what you want,
00:56taking on an Atlanta Dream team that's not only going to get open shots, Donnie,
01:00they're going to get second chances, third chances,
01:02and Angel Reese is going to want to dominate in this game, and I think she will.
01:07So, yeah, it's only Atlanta Dream for me here.
01:10Let's flip it over to the nightcap here, 10 p.m. Eastern.
01:13That's going to take place out there.
01:14Ball holla, Golden State, San Francisco.
01:17How about this favorite for the Valkyries?
01:19Opened up overnight, Joe, 6.5.
01:21Now, look at the graphic.
01:22We're up to 8.5 as a favorite towards the Valkyries over the Phoenix Mercury,
01:26and a total of 161.5.
01:28If the season ended today, the Valkyries would be in the playoff, sitting at 6-5.
01:33Yeah, but listen, Mercury finally won a couple of games, Donnie.
01:37In fact, back-to-back games.
01:39This is, I believe, the third game of a four-game road trip.
01:43This is during the Commissioner's Cup that they have right now,
01:46but they finally put it together.
01:48Very young team.
01:49The youngest team, one of the youngest teams in the WNBA this year,
01:53has dealt with some injuries, and the offense just has not been consistent.
01:57And the Valkyries have been pretty good,
01:59but neither of these teams play defense, Donnie.
02:02That's the whole thing.
02:03This is a tough one to want to sweat out an under in.
02:06I do think that Phoenix has finally got it going in the right direction.
02:11The Valkyries are not going to stop them.
02:13Give me the over here in this one tonight.
02:15Let's go over to the WNBA tonight, because we do have a big game here,
02:19at least some interesting people back in the building,
02:22which includes a former player of those Sky, Angel Reese,
02:26now a player for the Atlanta Dream, back in Chicago,
02:29and a heavy favor for those Atlanta Dream, Joe.
02:3275% chance to win this basketball game if you flip it over and feel they can
02:36cover the point spread, which means winning by nine-plus points,
02:39that yes contract is 49 cents, so a little bit of plus money.
02:43Dream Sky tonight, Angel, back in town.
02:47Yeah, I mean, listen, the Atlanta Dream are no joke.
02:51They're a legit contender this season.
02:53And certainly now that they have former Chicago Sky all-star there, Angel Reese,
02:59in their lineup, Chicago Sky's been going through it, Donnie.
03:04I mean, they're just a little too inconsistent at this point.
03:08The Dream are rolling.
03:10There is, if I'm looking anywhere, I'm looking Atlanta Dream here tonight,
03:13but, you know, if there are some props available,
03:17maybe the Angel Reese rebounds or the double-double or those types of things
03:22as she looks to, it's the first time she will have played her former team
03:26here in the Chicago Sky.
03:28It's expensive.
03:29It is.
03:29The Angel Reese, just to get the double-digit points, 10-plus here, Joe.
03:3282 cents is the yes contract.
03:34And by the way, only a 74% chance is listed on cash,
03:38which means a lot more of the public is actually thinking that she's going to show
03:41out at home.
03:41And why not with the return back?
03:43A $100 investment on Angel Reese getting 10 points, Joe, pays back $122.
03:48So it is expensive here, but come on.
03:50She's not going to shoot the ball more than, you know, 10 times,
03:52make half of them.
03:53There you go.
03:54You got your 10 points at this point.
03:55Mercury and the Valkyries tonight from Golden State,
03:59which, again, is out there in the Bay Area.
04:01They're a favorite tonight over the Mercury, 74% with a chance to win this
04:05basketball game.
04:06It's expensive, Joe.
04:07The yes contract, 75 cents, which means $100 investment on Golden State winning
04:11this game that pays back $134.
04:14Mercury and the Valkyries tonight.
04:17Yeah, I mean, listen, the Mercury finally broke that six-game losing streak.
04:21They put a couple of wins together.
04:23Now they're sitting 4-8.
04:25Can they do it against maybe a struggling Golden State Valkyries team?
04:29Yeah, they've got a shot here as an underdog.
04:33But both of these teams, I mean, wildly inconsistent offensively here.
04:39You just don't know what you're going to get from the Phoenix Mercury on a
04:42night-to-night basis.
04:43But winning is contagious, Donny.
04:46So if I'm taking a shot anywhere, I'm thinking they can continue their winning
04:49ways and back to Phoenix Mercury.
04:52And by the way, if you take a look here and you say, all right, well, I want Golden
04:55State and I'm going to ramp it up here.
04:57You can slide over that buzzer over to 13 and a half.
05:00And if you feel that a 14-point win is on deck for the Valkyries, that yes contract's
05:04only 34 cents, which means $100 investment pays back $2.95.
05:08You can use it similarly to sportsbooks here in that environment.
05:11Let's flip it over to Major League Baseball, Joe.
05:13The Dodgers taking on Pittsburgh.
05:15Paul schemes on the mound.
05:17And take a look at this trading, Joe, in that chart.
05:1950-50 right now.
05:21Dodgers, Lauer, you go with Skeens for Pittsburgh, who's struggling a little bit.
05:25The name recognition will tell you Skeens, but take a look at the marketplace.
05:2950-50, Joe.
05:31Yeah, and listen, Skeens has been going through it over the last month.
