WNBA Predictions & Preview For Friday, August 1st

Golden State Valkyries vs Chicago Sky

Start Time: 7:30 PM EST

I lost on the lone WNBA game on Thursday because I dared to fade the team that has been my cash cow this season, the Golden State Valkyries. Well, I’ve learned my lesson.

Despite this being a road back-to-back, and despite the Valkyries being without their top player, Kayla Thornton, for the rest of the season, I’m in on Golden State here. The Chicago Sky are terrible, and half their team is on the injury list, including Angel Reese.

Best Bet: Golden State -4.5 (-110)

Los Angeles Sparks vs Seattle Storm

Start Time: 10:00 PM EST

Good news for the Los Angeles Sparks – they have a road game on Friday! The Sparks are 8-6 on the road and only 3-9 on their home floor at Crypto.com Arena. However, the Seattle Storm are the opposite – they are 8-5 at home, and are a way better team than the Sparks.

The Storm proved how much better they are in the two teams’ lone meeting this season, beating the Sparks by 31 points. My line for tomorrow is Seattle -8.5, so the Storm is the play.

Best Bet: Seattle -5.5 (-110)

Overall Record: 35-39 (47%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): -($681.66)
Return on Investment: -9%
