Dallas Wings at New York Liberty : Picks and Betting Tips

</div> <p> <strong>Against the spread:</strong> At <strong>+3.5</strong>, the Wings are the STRONGEST PLAY of all the options listed here. They might not win, but they should cover. They're playing better - as shown by their recent win vs. the first-place Sun. Dallas is 5-4 against the spread (1-3 away), while New York is 4-5 ATS (3-2 at home).</p> <p> <strong>Moneyline:</strong> The Liberty's <strong>-180</strong> is just too costly for a team that hasn't proven much at home where they're 2-4. Stick to the ATS play. The Wings' <strong>+150</strong> could be worth a small wager, but as mentioned above, they're 0-4 on the road and they're not at full strength</p> <p> <strong>Over/under:</strong> The <strong>UNDER (155, -110 )</strong> is worth a small wager. The Wings are 1-8 O/U on the year, while the Liberty are 6-4.</p> <p> <strong>Johnny's WNBA record</strong>: 1-5. <strong>Strongest plays</strong>: 0-3.</p> <p> <em>Follow Johnny on Twitter <strong> <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/JohnnyParlay11">@JohnnyParlay11</a> </strong> </em> </p> <p><strong>MORE:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/09/burmese-python-discovered-in-surprising-place/?utm_source=USATAPP&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=inline-related">Burmese python discovered in surprising place</a></p> <p><a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/09/ufc-fighter-makes-opponent-flinch-by-screaming-in-his-face-during-staredown/?utm_source=USATAPP&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=inline-related">UFC fighter makes opponent flinch by screaming in his face during staredown</a></p> <p><a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/09/rangers-mike-minor-200th-strike-out-after-not-catching-foul-ball-on-purpose/?utm_source=USATAPP&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=inline-related">Rangers ripped for not catching easy foul ball so pitcher could reach milestone</a></p> <p><a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/09/mariners-felix-hernandez-walk-off-mound-emotional/?utm_source=USATAPP&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=inline-related">See Felix Hernandez's emotional walk off the mound for the Mariners</a></p> <p><a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/09/baker-mayfield-dunks-on-antonio-brown-on-instagram/?utm_source=USATAPP&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=inline-related">Baker Mayfield dunks on Antonio Brown on Instagram</a></p></body></html>
