Aces vs Mercury Betting Trends

The WNBA public betting splits are showing that the people are with the experts on the spread, but curiously against the smart money when it comes to the moneyline. In spread splits, Las Vegas is drawing 92% of handle and 69% of bets. The Mercury are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games.

Strangely, the favored Aces are only garnering 9% of handle and 38% of bets at -8000 in the moneyline splits. Las Vegas is 6-1 SU in the club’s past seven road games. On the total of 164.5 points, there is also division. The under is drawing 59% of handle, while the over it getting the backing of 52% of bets. The total has gone over in five of the last six road games played by Las Vegas.

Las Vegas is the -125 chalk in the WNBA Championship odds. DraftKings is also offering a WNBA champion prop. Take the Aces or the New York Liberty to win the WNBA title at odds of -475. Or you can play the field at a betting line of +380.

Phoenix is set at +10000 to win the WNBA championship. The Mercury are also +380 to make the WNBA playoffs. Phoenix is -475 to miss the playoffs.

Las Vegas On a Roll

Since suffering their first loss of the season at the hands of the Connecticut Sun, the Aces seem to be taking the setback personally. They’ve rallied to win three in a row since that defeat. Each outcome was decisive, with the Aces winning by 30+ points.

They are averaging 94 points per game over this three-game run, and shooting better than 50% from the floor. Four Las Vegas starters are scoring at a double-digit per game rate – Chelsea Gray (13.8 points per game), Jackie Young (20.8), A’ja Wilson (18.5) and Kelsey Plum (15.9).

Mercury Isn’t Rising to the Occasion

The Mercury are losing and hurting. Phoenix has played the last two games minus leading scorer and rebounder Brittney Griner (hip) and key assist distributor Diana Taurasi (hamstring).

Both are listed as day-to-day. Forward Michaela Onyenwere (8.6 ppg) is also day-to-day with a facial injury.

Las Vegas vs Phoenix Prediction

Las Vegas swept Phoenix in the first round of last year’s playoffs en route to capturing the WNBA title. Averaging 91.9 points per game, the Aces are the only WNBA team scoring at a 90-point clip this season.
