WNBA playoffs preview: why the Fever at +145 could be the best bet against defending champion Aces

We had one play in the WNBA last night, and it went the exact opposite of how I expected it to go.The Fever played like they had nothing to gain, and the Lynx played like they were fighting for playoff spots.

Now we move into the postseason.Before we start the actual games, which tip off on Sunday, we should look at each series and see if there are any future bets that are worth putting into our accounts.

All eight teams have a legitimate case for the championship, so this could get interesting fast.Olivia Miles No.5 of the Minnesota Lynx drives to the basket during a game against the Indiana Fever on Aug.

I'm not sure if New York was just the popular pick or if it was due to Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones on the roster.Either way, the season didn't go quite as planned for the Liberty but they still ended up winning almost 60% of their games.

The Lynx were also expected to have a different season.Without MVP Naphesa Collier for much of the year, it was expected that Minnesota would struggle this year.

Olivia Miles, this year's Rookie of the Year and potential MVP, led the way, and they earned the best record in the WNBA.I think there is some good value on taking the Liberty to win at least one game in this series.

I'm going to take this series to go three games at +100.This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners.If you sign up or place a wager, FOX News may be compensated.
