The WNBA season is seeing many twists and turns, but one thing has remained the same. The 2025 Finalists New York Liberty and the Minnesota Lynx, have been undefeated. They are on course for yet another Finals date this season.
On July 11, Lynx will be in action along with the budding Phoenix Mercury squad. The Los Angeles Sparks and Las Vegas Aces will also lock horns.
It is a promising three-game slate that paves the way for interesting parlays. As a bettor, no look further, as here is an attempt at the best WNBA bets based upon BetMGM.
The Sparks haven’t been at their best throughout the season. They suffered a huge comeback after suffering an 81-89 Overtime loss against the Golden State Valkyries. They lost the season series 1-2 to the franchise that is playing just its first season and is much less experienced than they are. The Sparks’ 3-7 record says it all.
On the other hand, the Aces are 4-3, but they also suffered a shocking 27-point loss against the Valkyries. It broke a two-game winning streak, and all their losses have been by 14 points or more.
The expectations are high for the team because they have one of the two best players, A’ja Wilson. However, they thinned their resources after trading Kelsey Plum and losing Alysha Clark, too. Jewell Loyd has been struggling massively which has affected their guard rotations.
At any rate, the Aces and Sparks have met once, where Las Vegas came on top by 15 points. Thus, the bookmakers have assigned a double-digit spread in their favor. But I see the Sparks covering the spread this time around despite their past failure.
Spread: Los Angeles Sparks +10.5
The Phoenix Mercury has done well this season. They are 6-4 and could have had a better record if their best all-around player, Alyssa Thomas, hadn’t gotten injured. The Mercury lost their last game 77-89, but Satou Sabally had another prolific outing with 22 points.
Apart from that, their rookie class has been awesome, especially Lexi Held. On the other hand, the Wings couldn’t have done worse this season. They have the worst record in the league (1-9) and are the only squad to win just one game.
They weren’t doing any better with Paige Bueckers, but have done even worse since the talented rookie has been sidelined for four games. Arike Ogunbowale is having a disappointing season, while the offseason acquisitions, especially NaLyssa Smith, have been underwhelming.
Dallas has lost 5 games with a double-digit margin, and I expect Mercury will hand a similar fate
Spread: Phoenix Mercury -6.5
The Sparks haven’t done well, but their potential is high. The duo of Plum and Dearica Hamby has achieved success as the one-two punch, but the role players, especially Rickea Jackson, will need to do more. I see them coming up with a much better performance against the vulnerable Aces.
They may not win the game, but I see them keeping their loss within 5-7 points.
On the other hand, the Mercury are severely short-handed but have much more commendable fighting spirit than the Wings, thus I fancy them to come on top.
WNBA Parlays: Sparks +10.5 and Mercury -6.5 for +245 on BETMGM
