1
00:00:02,399 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody? Welcome into another episode of Profit Picks.

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,960
If you are new, we always start this show by

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:14,439
being transparent. Yesterday two and one, my top play was

4
00:00:14,439 --> 00:00:17,760
the Valkyries. That one lost, so not huge profit on

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,399
the day, but still slight profit the player. I gave

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,600
us the best bet for the show. That was easy

7
00:00:24,719 --> 00:00:27,320
money Courtney Williams over twenty five and a half PRA

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,800
and then Link's minus ten and a half. I dig

9
00:00:30,879 --> 00:00:33,200
it to the window with that. Those are both the winners.

10
00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:36,560
So two and one overall, how did you do yesterday?

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,280
We know how you doing today.

12
00:00:38,439 --> 00:00:40,079
Speaker 2: I am doing good, buddy. I did not get to

13
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:44,600
the window in the WNBA had the the Phoenix Golden

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,560
State game over one fifty eight and a half. Thought

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,039
I was going to get overtime at seventy seven seventy seven,

16
00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:54,479
commit a foul with one second left and wind up

17
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,079
not winning that one, but wind up with a split

18
00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:00,880
because we had a winner and be a summer league

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,039
which is about five and won the last three days,

20
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:05,799
so that's been profitable. But you say a little bit short,

21
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:07,280
and I believe that's the game I left as the

22
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,159
best bet for the show. The Mercury and Valkyrie's game over.

23
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,359
So we need to do better today's ski at least

24
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:13,640
I do.

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,799
Speaker 1: Man, WNBA is starting to turn into NBA a little bit.

26
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,079
And what I mean by that this is this is

27
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,640
a rant for today. What I mean by that is,

28
00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:29,519
And you guys can say if I'm wrong, maybe I

29
00:01:29,599 --> 00:01:35,560
was looking through, maybe I was biased, but all of

30
00:01:35,719 --> 00:01:39,439
everybody was betting Golden State yesterday, like all the percentages

31
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,560
and all that stuff said Golden State, and I could

32
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,040
tell from the first quarter, the first five minutes they

33
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,480
weren't going to be getting any costs. They like Tiffany

34
00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:49,519
Hayes was crashing out on the ref cussing the ref

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,680
out because they were not calling what they should be calling.

36
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,359
So that's kind of how we see in the NBA.

37
00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:57,120
I don't think I've ever felt like that about the

38
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:02,000
WNBA until recently. But that's my two cents for today.

39
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:05,480
No need to reply, but if you have anything to

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:05,959
say on that.

41
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: You know, no, I mean, I would have liked the

42
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,080
non call at the end of that game though, because

43
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,599
it would have helped me. I was looking, you know,

44
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,439
your side on total, but we were both looking biasedly

45
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,400
at that at the end of the game. So certainly

46
00:02:20,479 --> 00:02:23,759
you know something interesting, Skiing. I'm trying to look as

47
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:29,520
we talk here, is that WNBA officials are actually doing

48
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,800
Summer League as well, and some of these are doing

49
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,400
a game a day Summer League WNBA, Summer League WNBA,

50
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,159
And I'm just looking to see who that officiating crew

51
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,680
was last night in the Phoenix game real quick, just

52
00:02:42,719 --> 00:02:46,240
to see if they. You know, if you're fatigued and

53
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,800
you just want to end the game and you blow

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,680
the whistle one second left because you don't want to

55
00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:55,400
go to overtime, it's conspiracy thinking. But you never know.

56
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:56,840
You just never know.

57
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,759
Speaker 1: Oh, I know my eyes. I was not looking through

58
00:03:02,759 --> 00:03:06,319
the tequila Lynbs last night. It was only water. I

59
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,800
was watching very very close. Jess says, what do you say,

60
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,120
Ski looks better today. Ukevi says, probably didn't have twenty

61
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,560
tequilas last night. Jeffrey, there you go, Bingo, you get

62
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,000
it all right, Let's get to it. We have two

63
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:25,919
games today. Man. Ironically, I was in a better mood

64
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,159
yesterday and today, even though I was hungover. But let's

65
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:34,240
get to it. Fever and Connecticut. It opened minus fourteen

66
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,560
and a half for the fever. It says how it's

67
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:39,560
sixteen total open one sixty four and a half. It

68
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:42,319
looks like one sixty six and a half. I don't

69
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:46,120
think anybody's on the injury report here. Oh actually, I'm sorry.

70
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,479
Maybury's been out for a while, but we already know

71
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,919
she's not going to be playing, so outside of her,

72
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:56,240
looks like both teams are healthy and veno. It was

73
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,080
a little bit of drama last time these teams saw

74
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,719
each other. I can't even call it a little bit.

75
00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:04,159
There was a few scuffles, fights, whatever you want to say.

76
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:06,639
Speaker 2: We know J. C.

77
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: Sheldon and Kaitlyn Clark don't like each other. Sophie came

78
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:12,960
in there trying to be an enforcer. Right. It was

79
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,520
a lot going on in that game, son, I believe

80
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,480
we're an eighteen point favorite. You know, I'm sorry, eighteen

81
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,519
point underdog. They covered by one point fever one by seventeen.

82
00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:26,560
And that time was in Indiana. Now they'll face each

83
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,959
other again, this time in Connecticut, and it was a

84
00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:36,920
little bit shorter spread. And I'll mention, I mean, we

85
00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:42,839
can't ignore all year long Caitlyn Clark money at home,

86
00:04:43,879 --> 00:04:46,120
disaster on the road. I'm curious if we see that

87
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:49,399
here tonight. And I do think, especially after how that

88
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,800
last game went and how she was talking to people,

89
00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:54,639
they make it a point to, you know, try to

90
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,279
shut her down today. And also I think the Sun

91
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:02,000
had been playing better. They've been in a better rhythm

92
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,879
now than the last time these team teams met. At

93
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:07,439
that point, they were just getting blown out by twenty

94
00:05:07,439 --> 00:05:10,759
plus every night, it felt like. So this feels like

95
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,279
it'll be a pretty good game to watch. I'll have

96
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,199
my popcorn out seeing what action we get this time.

97
00:05:18,439 --> 00:05:20,399
How are you seeing this game going? Veno?

98
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Indiana will win simply because I mean,

99
00:05:25,519 --> 00:05:27,519
obviously that's not going out on a limit of sixteen

100
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,040
point favorite, but simply because I talked yesterday about the

101
00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:34,240
stand things closing in on the All Star Game, and

102
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,879
the Indiana team is tied with Washington. A win here

103
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,879
by Indiana potential loss by Washington in the late game

104
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,519
would give them sole possession of sixth place. I think

105
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,240
these games are important to them. For Connecticut, it is

106
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,120
a little bit of a rebuilding process here. They're trying

107
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,639
to get things right. Brio Hartley's been pretty good as

108
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,199
of late, coming on a little bit next to J. C.

109
00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:00,000
Sheldon is one of the starting guards. What I noticed here,

110
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,839
Skate is, you know, I didn't want to lay sixteen

111
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:06,920
points and should be afraid of the full game total.

112
00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:08,600
I really shouldn't, but I tried to go back and

113
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:11,240
see what Connecticut has done in the first half, because

114
00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:13,920
it seemed to me that Connecticut has been giving up

115
00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:17,639
a just a ton of points to everybody first halves

116
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,439
this year. They've given up forty or more in eleven

117
00:06:20,519 --> 00:06:24,319
of fifteen, but even tightening it up less than that.

118
00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:26,800
Even though they've been playing well the last three games,

119
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:30,439
they've given up forty nine and forty seven in two

120
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,560
of the last three first halves forty three, fifty fifty two,

121
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:38,120
forty fifty nine, forty two, forty seven seven to the

122
00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:43,079
last eight, they've given up forty or more. So potentially

123
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,160
Indiana as a first half team total play, but then

124
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:49,959
you look at the team total and you see forty six,

125
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,600
and it's kind of scares you off. So I think

126
00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:54,600
the oddsmaker has done a good job of keeping me

127
00:06:54,639 --> 00:06:58,680
off of Indiana, probably keeping me off of first half total.

128
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,160
The only thing I'm left with here is either taking

129
00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:05,399
the points with Connecticut, which Like you said, the last

130
00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:07,720
three games, two of which were against Seattle. Played well.

131
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,439
In both Seattle games, and then against LA which we

132
00:07:11,519 --> 00:07:14,560
know doesn't play any defense, Connecticut played well. I'm always

133
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,639
scared that Connecticut will go into a scoring drought, and

134
00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:21,839
last time they played, not only was there a little

135
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:26,519
bit of a scuffle, but the Fever did win by seventeen.

136
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,759
You kind of cited the differences between Fever home play

137
00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:34,120
specifically Kate and Clark, and road play. I think if

138
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,319
I was to look here, Scale would probably either be

139
00:07:36,399 --> 00:07:40,639
on full game over, thinking that Connecticut. We're still not

140
00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:44,800
kind of sold on the Indiana defense. But even if

141
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,160
they shut Caitlyn Clark down and keep her quiet, there's

142
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,680
so many scoring options for Indiana right now. I don't

143
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,879
think they're going to be kept quiet on the scoreboard here.

144
00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:56,079
So maybe full game over and maybe if you're looking

145
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,959
side slightly into Connecticut. But I didn't play the game,

146
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,079
and I don't think that I will be playing the scheme.

147
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: First half. I mean, I see the total at three

148
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,319
different numbers. I'm trying to log in just to verify.

149
00:08:10,439 --> 00:08:12,560
ID screen could be a little bit off, you never know,

150
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,519
but let's see here half Okay, yes, the Caesar's number

151
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,560
was off of tad, But eighty four and a half

152
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,800
eighty five as we're looking at there, I mean it

153
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,120
seems like it's a little bit shaded towards the first half.

154
00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:29,560
I can see points early. And also, if you like

155
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,639
the over it could be one you want to get

156
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:37,120
in and get out because like who mentioned if somebody

157
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,399
else mentioned it here, we're trying to go find it. Yeah.

158
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,480
Fever are also on the front end of a back

159
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:43,799
to back. They play in New York Liberty tomorrow, so

160
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,759
you know they're going to save some energy for that game.

161
00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:51,759
That's a high profile game. You know this comment right here,

162
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,320
starters could wrest them in the fourth if the Fever

163
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,559
are up. We could see this game go a lot

164
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,360
of different ways. But the first half when I seeing

165
00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:03,399
nobody resting, you know what I'm saying. So first half

166
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,960
total eighty four and a half does seem appealing. Ukypra

167
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,720
says he likes to over as well. B Man says

168
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,919
likes to over sun worse defense in WNBA history says,

169
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,519
and U Capra says, they're not wasting energy on defense

170
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,360
today and that makes sense. That makes sense right there?

171
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,360
I think we did this one pretty good. I don't

172
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,919
think it's I don't think the Fever care too much

173
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:33,200
about this game, like they won the last game, all

174
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,840
that scuffle stuff. I think this is the son who

175
00:09:34,879 --> 00:09:40,440
care more so Son or over. I think our son

176
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,799
or first half over I think are good good bets

177
00:09:42,799 --> 00:09:47,919
here justin likes those Son all right. Next game, Mystics

178
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,840
and Sparks opened up minus two for LA looks like

179
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,120
minus one. I mean, this line has been all over

180
00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:58,600
the place. It's gone from. It went to Washington as

181
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,840
a favorite, now we're back with the Sparks. It's the favorite.

182
00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:04,519
Total open one sixty three and a half, seeing it

183
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,480
as high as one sixty six. And you do have

184
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,879
the Mystics coming off of a nice win against the Storm,

185
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,519
right if I'm thinking correctly, and the Sparks they did

186
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,919
barely squeak past the Connecticut Sun. Sparks have not been

187
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,200
playing the best basketball all season or lately howeveryone look

188
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:30,080
at it, and their defense has been extremely untrustworthy. The Mystics,

189
00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:35,159
they've been pretty solid defensively, they've been kind of iffy sometimes,

190
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,399
like for a stretch they'll look great in another stretch.

191
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,720
Is like what are they doing. But I think the

192
00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:43,159
Mystics have looked a lot better than the Sparks this year,

193
00:10:43,799 --> 00:10:47,120
and that's the team that I can trust more to

194
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,879
get a stop. So that makes me want to look

195
00:10:49,919 --> 00:10:56,000
towards the Mystics here. Total wise, I'm not really in

196
00:10:56,039 --> 00:10:59,120
the market a betting Sparks game under I just right,

197
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,000
it's a lot more things I'd rather do if I

198
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,600
bet a Sparks game under I better be prepared to,

199
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,039
you know, have a few tequilas coming my way by halftime.

200
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,200
So over or Mystics, we know, how are you seeing

201
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:14,600
this one?

202
00:11:15,799 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 2: Well? I did get involved in this one, Ski And

203
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,679
there's no sense we used to say often on the

204
00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:24,200
Wager Talk NBA show, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

205
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,759
And there's no reason to not bet an La Sparks

206
00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:29,279
over as long as they're going to keep listing them

207
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,279
in this particular price range. And I know we get

208
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:33,360
it in this price range, and it's been bumped up

209
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,679
to this one sixty five that we see. I think

210
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,759
it opened one sixty three and a half, but it

211
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,039
you know, it opens that way based on Washington and

212
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,639
the fact that they're methodical, not a fast tempo team. Well,

213
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,879
actually they are number five in tempo in the league

214
00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:50,919
if you check it out, But they don't appear to

215
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,559
be a fast temple team, and they're a low scoring team.

216
00:11:53,759 --> 00:11:57,799
More defense Aria, it's oriented oriented, So I had to

217
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,159
dig a little bit. I think if Washington and this

218
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,320
is the first time these two teams have met all

219
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,519
season long. If you're Washington, you like looking across the

220
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,639
floor and seeing that LA defense. The Sparks are twelve

221
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,559
out of thirteen teams in the league in defensive raiding

222
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,240
and field goal percentage allowed. In paint field goal percentage

223
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,600
and points per game allowed, they're allowing eighty seven point

224
00:12:21,639 --> 00:12:24,000
two per game. I could go on and on. That's

225
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,480
just four of the categories where they stick. On defense,

226
00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:30,480
they've given up eighty two plus in seventeen of their

227
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,519
last twenty games. Doesn't really matter who they're playing, so

228
00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:36,759
the eighty seven point two isn't skewed. It's not like

229
00:12:36,799 --> 00:12:39,279
they gave up one twenty one night in seventy the next.

230
00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:42,799
The Sparks consistently give up points. They're fifteen and four.

231
00:12:42,879 --> 00:12:46,639
Their games are fifteen and four over the total that's

232
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,879
posted tonight. In their last nineteen games. That's a big number.

233
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,799
And if you look at Washington, five of the six

234
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,440
games that Washington has gotten to play a team with

235
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,159
a lousy defense. By lousy defense, I mean they ranked

236
00:12:59,159 --> 00:13:03,000
tenth or worse in defensive raiding. When Washington has played

237
00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:07,360
those types defenses, they've scored seventy nine In that game

238
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,360
they didn't have Britney Sykes eighty one, ninety ninety one

239
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:14,360
and one oh four. So Washington's offense is kind of

240
00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:16,600
a bully type offense. If you can't play any d

241
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,759
they're going to score on you. It's the rest of

242
00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:23,039
the league they don't score that high against. If you

243
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,840
want to say that they play too slow of a

244
00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:26,919
tempo to get this game over, I would say this.

245
00:13:27,879 --> 00:13:31,879
The Sparks against the four slowest tempo teams in the NBA.

246
00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:34,399
When they've had an opportunity to play one of those

247
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:37,679
four teams, they've given up eighty two plus in seven

248
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,559
of the eight games and average of eighty six. It

249
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,399
doesn't matter how slow you play, you're going to score

250
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,720
against this team. One of those games, actually, the only

251
00:13:44,759 --> 00:13:46,919
one that didn't make it to eighty two plus Ski

252
00:13:47,039 --> 00:13:48,879
was the very first game of the year was Golden

253
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,200
State's first game as a WNBA team. I think Golden

254
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,279
State only scored sixty seven at night. But the Sparks

255
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,799
give it up against slow teams, non scoring teams, doesn't matter.

256
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,639
Mean while they score on just about everybody. Washington is

257
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,639
tied for six I think in defensive points per game

258
00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:11,399
allowed Sparks against the top five defenses. They've had eleven

259
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:13,919
chances this year against the top five defense and they've

260
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,279
scored between seventy eight and eighty six and seven of those.

261
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,519
So I think both sides score here. Ski. There's a

262
00:14:19,559 --> 00:14:23,679
couple of interesting matchups, one being if you like free throws,

263
00:14:23,879 --> 00:14:26,159
this could be your game. These teams are number one

264
00:14:26,559 --> 00:14:29,960
and number two in free throw rate in the WNBA.

265
00:14:30,159 --> 00:14:34,039
Kelsey plumbs an artists that get into the line for LA.

266
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,399
Neither team's good defending in the paint. Washington's eleventh LA twelve.

267
00:14:38,519 --> 00:14:40,679
I just don't see why this game doesn't make it

268
00:14:40,679 --> 00:14:43,879
to one seventy. So I played this one over the

269
00:14:43,919 --> 00:14:46,320
one sixty five. Those who got in real early at

270
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,120
sixty three and a half, congratulations, that was a better number.

271
00:14:51,759 --> 00:14:55,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking at the chat and listening to you

272
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,240
and looking at some of this stuff. You can see this, right,

273
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:03,639
you know, show it to me? Is it not screen sharing? There? No,

274
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,159
it's not. Okay. See that's good. I asked this time.

275
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:13,159
There we go. You can see this Sparks just I

276
00:15:13,159 --> 00:15:17,759
mean you, Keper says. He says Sparks don't cover at

277
00:15:17,759 --> 00:15:21,879
home for some reason, maybe because they don't play no defense.

278
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:27,120
Reason oppon the team total is nine to one to

279
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,840
the over at home for the Sparks, they don't get

280
00:15:29,879 --> 00:15:32,519
any stops. That's what I was saying, Like why I

281
00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:35,039
would lean towards the Mystics because one team I can

282
00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:36,559
trust to get a stop when we needed the other

283
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,840
team it's in God's hands. If you need to stop

284
00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:42,360
at the end of the game, you better off just praying.

285
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:49,440
So that's how I see it. I didn't really talk

286
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,720
too much about props, but I did consider, I mean, Mystics,

287
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,320
and I was trying to think about the reason why.

288
00:15:57,519 --> 00:16:00,440
But Mystics don't give up that many rebounds. I mean,

289
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,759
I know they have secure Austin. Maybe it's I mean,

290
00:16:05,759 --> 00:16:07,840
they don't give up that many rebounds. The only player

291
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,279
in the last six games to have more than seven

292
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,440
rebounds is Angel Reese. And we all know that's an anomaly.

293
00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:15,879
Speaker 2: You know.

294
00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:20,879
Speaker 1: So as a race, she's a second leading rebounder this season.

295
00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:24,000
Her rebounding prop is seven and a half. That's less

296
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,879
than what she averages on the season. And also dere

297
00:16:27,919 --> 00:16:30,120
Cahanby's just seven and a half. She hasn't been hitting

298
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,320
that at all. She think she's hitted two of her

299
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,600
last nine games. Mystics don't give up that many. I'm

300
00:16:35,639 --> 00:16:38,320
just trying to think of what's the exact reasoning. And

301
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,399
I wanted to say maybe because it's less possessions in

302
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,720
Mystics games. But I mean, when I look at pace

303
00:16:43,799 --> 00:16:48,679
numbers recently, the middle of the pack, so I couldn't really,

304
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,440
you know, like I had a lot of good reasoning

305
00:16:52,519 --> 00:16:56,240
for Courtney Williams yesterday along with some numbers. You know today,

306
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,279
I have the numbers, but I'm still trying to figure

307
00:16:58,279 --> 00:16:59,960
out the reasoning. But I would think both of them

308
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,919
or Derekaham be probably more than ASA. We'll go under

309
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,400
the rebound prop of seven and a half. An I

310
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,359
know you don't do too much props, you know, ah

311
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,640
my bad, Let me get this out of there. I

312
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,039
know you don't do too many props, but anything stand

313
00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:16,079
out to you as far as that or what do

314
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,160
you think about the rebounds?

315
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean on the LA side, it would be

316
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,200
hard to bet props just because offensively they have a

317
00:17:25,519 --> 00:17:29,759
starting unit that it could be anybody on any night right,

318
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:33,920
could be Jackson, it could be Plumbing, it could be

319
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,400
anybody on that starting in that starting unit. So I'd

320
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,559
be hard pressed to make a call there I'm thinking

321
00:17:42,599 --> 00:17:47,119
of I don't know if they even list Arry McDonald's assists,

322
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,160
even though she's coming off the bench, she would probably

323
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,880
be a low total. I don't think I could think

324
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,480
of anything there. And for the Washington front Line, to

325
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:01,119
tell you the truth, Ski, the two rookies forward have

326
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,559
been pretty good. I know Kiki Rifian has been pretty

327
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,599
Ripen has been pretty good on the boards as well.

328
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,960
So I don't know. It looks like everything could be

329
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,400
split up here between these two. There's really no standout

330
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,960
unless Britney Sykes goes off, which she can so I guess,

331
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,240
like you said earlier, I'm not big in the prop market.

332
00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:21,160
I don't have any real suggestions here.

333
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: Britney Sykes could go off too. I mean she was

334
00:18:24,039 --> 00:18:26,319
already snubbed for an All Star. Then Ryan got hurt

335
00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:29,200
and she snubbed again. They put Kayler McBride in there.

336
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,559
I don't know, man, I feel like she might have

337
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:36,359
a little something to prove more. I think about that,

338
00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:39,559
so that she could be a look there. I think

339
00:18:39,599 --> 00:18:42,839
we did pretty good job here. What are they saying here?

340
00:18:42,839 --> 00:18:46,240
In the chat? There was a question city by the

341
00:18:46,279 --> 00:18:49,680
base skie how you feel about chat GPT slash grock

342
00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:54,000
for sports handicapping. I've never used grock for anything. I'm

343
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,079
not even I mean, I see it pop up on Twitter,

344
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,640
but I don't even know what that is for real

345
00:18:59,599 --> 00:19:02,400
chat GPT. I mean, I don't. I wouldn't trust using

346
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,519
a computer to do all of your handicapping at all

347
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,960
in general for anything. But I mean, I think maybe

348
00:19:08,039 --> 00:19:13,720
chat GPT can be useful for editing, like I don't know,

349
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,359
but don't use it just to find a pick for you.

350
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,440
That's kind of what I'm saying, Like, maybe it can

351
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,480
help you with other stuff, CT tight and CT says

352
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,599
to help him with his his Medicare paperwork. So maybe

353
00:19:24,599 --> 00:19:27,000
it's useful, but don't rely on it just to pick

354
00:19:27,039 --> 00:19:36,359
sports bets for you. All right, do you know what

355
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:36,960
grock is?

356
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,839
Speaker 2: You know never used it, and I've had this conversation

357
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,759
with friends of mine. I won't use it SKI because

358
00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:45,880
I just don't think there's any human element in chat GPT.

359
00:19:46,279 --> 00:19:49,200
And we all know if you've been around long enough,

360
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,279
betting long enough, that some of this is gut feel

361
00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:55,720
that you just can't put into a computer and have

362
00:19:55,839 --> 00:19:58,640
it spit out. Well, this is the way. Like you said,

363
00:19:58,799 --> 00:20:01,319
you watched the first five minute that game last night, right,

364
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,160
and you knew Golden State wasn't going to get any calls.

365
00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:07,920
Chat GPT doesn't have that feeling, you know what I mean?

366
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,359
So I can't I have to use It's such an

367
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,440
inexact science. I don't know that I could use. It's

368
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,880
probably good, like you say, for editing and for getting

369
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,839
some quicker statistical numbers. If you have to take time

370
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,039
to look up statistics, I'm sure it's helpful there.

371
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,319
Speaker 1: Jeff says, that's like asking skid question about a game

372
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:32,599
after fifteen tequilas. Don't do it. I appreciate you. You cap

373
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,119
reminded me go ahead and put this up there a ticker.

374
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,160
Forgot about that, and yeah, I mean it is about

375
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,200
that time. Maybe I go ahead and throw this up there.

376
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,440
It is five dollars Tuesday. You can go on any

377
00:20:47,519 --> 00:20:50,599
capper's page and they should have a top play up

378
00:20:50,599 --> 00:20:53,519
for just five dollars today. You can see if you

379
00:20:53,559 --> 00:20:55,400
maybe like what they have going with. They're talking about

380
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,319
their rite up. Whatever the case may be. It's a

381
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:03,079
good chance to check some people. So that's what I will.

382
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,119
I'll leave, I'll leave. I'll leave Ronald alone with that

383
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,079
other pick for today. I'll stall them out on that

384
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,079
one today, Vino. I'm going to pass it back to you.

385
00:21:13,559 --> 00:21:15,200
I'll ask you if there's anything else you would like

386
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,920
to promote, and uh, if you have a best bet

387
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,039
for the show, feel free to share, and if you don't,

388
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:21,599
it's all good.

389
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: Real quick, Ski, I'll say that I did make the

390
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,319
photo shooting that picture when I looked so, I wasn't

391
00:21:28,319 --> 00:21:30,799
good enough to make the other photo shoot, but I

392
00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:34,200
got in that one. Yeah, I think you covered at

393
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,680
five dollars. Tuesday is a big day for all handicappers.

394
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,960
Over at wager talk, we all put a five dollar

395
00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:42,160
play up. You can get mine or skis by hopping

396
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,559
over there and just getting to wager talk dot com

397
00:21:46,599 --> 00:21:49,920
play selections and get the five dollar play. I want

398
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,559
to go back with best bets to what I just

399
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,279
talked about with La and Washington. I don't know that

400
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,400
there's I was trying to look it up this morning

401
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,559
because I try to keep pretty thorough records of what

402
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,680
I bet and what I released the clients, and I

403
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,039
don't believe that there's been a more profitable bet for

404
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,400
me this year in the WNBA than sparks games over.

405
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,720
It seems like every time I bet, when I win,

406
00:22:15,279 --> 00:22:17,440
And so I'm back there again here. Like I said,

407
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,640
if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Washington is going

408
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,640
to have a pretty good or they'll have a pretty

409
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,680
good opportunity to score a bunch of points here. La

410
00:22:24,759 --> 00:22:26,839
will score back. I think one thing I missed ski

411
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,880
earlier is that I was pretty impressed by Washington making

412
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:36,400
a cross country trip from home to Seattle getting buried

413
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,720
in the third quarter, because Seattle came back and played

414
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,519
a really good third quarter. I think they were plus

415
00:22:40,519 --> 00:22:43,720
eight going into the fourth and then Washington storming back

416
00:22:43,759 --> 00:22:46,279
and winning that game by five almost going away. So

417
00:22:46,519 --> 00:22:48,640
that was pretty impressive out of the mystics. So if

418
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,079
you're looking side, I know you did mention perhaps mystics

419
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,359
are a good side here, but I'm going to stick

420
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:55,880
to the total and play it up in over. One

421
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,160
sixty five is the best bet.

422
00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:02,319
Speaker 1: Good stuff, you know, and for myself, I mean, I

423
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,599
had a gym yesterday, I share with you guys. I

424
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,920
don't have one to share with you today. I do

425
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,279
have a playoff for five dollars Tuesday, but I can't

426
00:23:10,279 --> 00:23:11,920
give that out as the best bet here on the show.

427
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,839
So yeah, just I'll rock with you.

428
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 2: No.

429
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,039
Speaker 1: I like what he's talking about on that over. I

430
00:23:18,039 --> 00:23:21,920
think that is a solid bet. Vino. Like I always say,

431
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,759
appreciate you taking the time to break the games down

432
00:23:23,799 --> 00:23:26,200
with me. Helps out my process. I'm sure it helps

433
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,359
out everybody else as well. And just have a good

434
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,000
time talking to games out with you. Everybody in the chat.

435
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,720
We appreciate you too, sharing information and you know, we

436
00:23:36,799 --> 00:23:39,880
just appreciate the good vibes from everybody out there, everybody

437
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:46,680
watching elsewhere, Twitch, x kick, Apple, Spotify, appreciate you all

438
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,880
as well. A lot more games to talk about tomorrow.

439
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,039
Actually two of them would have gone off by the

440
00:23:52,079 --> 00:23:54,839
time we come on. They're very very early games, so

441
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,200
make sure you get up and are aware. But we

442
00:23:57,279 --> 00:24:00,519
still will have three more to talk about. Time, so

443
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:01,880
we'll see you. Guys' name
