There’s no doubt about it — the Liberty are the best team in the W. At 7-0, New York has been dominant. The Liberty are coming off a 48-point win over the Sun and recently beat Washington by 22.
Can the Mystics keep it closer tonight?
Washington has lost back-to-back games and five of its past six, but we don’t need the Mystics to win for this bet to cash. We simply need them to keep it close and four of their five losses have been by single digits.

This system focuses only on games after a non-close loss — defined as a margin of defeat worse than seven points. These situations heighten market negativity and inflate the next spread. However this system suggests that WNBA teams — even teams with poor records — can respond competitively, especially when lines cross a key value threshold like 11.5 or more. You’re capturing max line inflation driven by poor optics, not predictive fundamentals.
Overall, this system has generated a ROI of 19% and has a 140-87-4 (62%) record. This season, it is 3-1 with a 43% ROI.
Best Bet: Mystics +13
