This system targets low-win-percentage WNBA teams (≤30%) coming off a win and now playing as an underdog (spread 2.5–18), which is the situation for the Sun heading into today’s matchup against the Fever.
These teams often remain undervalued by the market, and bettors overreact to their last win, creating inflated lines and betting value.
Let’s grab the points with Connecticut this afternoon.
