What’s up good people! Another good day overall. Officially we’re 0-1 in the NFL this year, how tragic lol, but fortunately it’s only preseason. A good day in CFL and good enough in WNBA, we move on! Doubling down in CFL, again, and I’ll send out some more CFL and some UFC picks later today.
WNBA Picks (20-14-1, +6.20 units):
Atlanta Dream -4.5 (-110), to win 1 unit
Something is STILL wrong in LA and although the Dream have been up and down lately, this is a good spot against an inferior foe, at home, and it only helps that Atlanta lost to this same Sparks team just 2 weeks ago. On paper Atlanta probably should’ve won that game, too, but the Sparks shot a ridiculous +50% from the field AND from beyond the arc. That won’t happen again.
Washington Mystics +6 (-110), to win 1.5 units
The Mystics are a team I want to bet on right now. The Sky? Not so much. Ever since their Commissioner’s Cup title loss, it feels like something’s been off with this team. Sure they won 2/3 of their next games, but their last loss against Dallas and some wins that were close to the end against teams they shouldn’t have that much trouble with – that tells me the Mystics will give Chicago more than enough trouble Friday night. And for whatever reason, Chicago is a rough 6-9-1 ATS on their home floor. The Mystics are actually better ATS on the road (11-5). The Sky owns a 2-1 lead in this season series; I wouldn’t be surprised if Washington won this tonight. I expect them to cover.
CFL Picks (10-10, -1.20 units):
Calgary Stampeders -6 (-110), to win 1.5 units
Calgary Stampeders -4.5 (-110), to win 1.65 units
Speaking of the Stampeders, this is a big response game for them. The Bombers stifled their offense throughout last week’s big contest but make no mistake, they’re a potent attack, especially in their run game. Ottawa might have their guard down a bit after a nice win, but their run-defense is at the bottom of the league; not a good thing against a mad Calgary team who likes to run it down the opponent’s throats. The Stampeders do just that; stampede over the Redblacks and control this game.
MLB Leans:
Mets (-135)
Yankees -1.5 (+110)
Rockies (+108)
