Yes, I know it sounds a bit loopy to take the Lynx here today, but they have a solid chance of getting this spread done. In fact, I nearly made them into a five star before pulling the trigger on yesterday's Under in the Fever game for the five star which worked out for us (now 5-0 in wnba 5* gotws and 9-0 when combined with baseball for the year). It seems kind of silly to lay seven points with a team that is 2-9 but the situation pans out well for Minnesota. For starters, the Lynx have defeated this team once this year on the road by six points but have lost by 12 and 13 points recently to Tulsa. Minnesota has a great deal of revenge coming into this game as they look to avoid three straight losses to this team. Note, that Minnesota has been playing better basketball of late losing to the Sparks by just four points on the road, losing to Phoenix by 11 points (the same team that Tulsa lost by 32 points in their last game) and this is the same Minnesota team that beat Phoenix by ten points to get one of their rare two wins on the year. I look for Minnesota to take out some frustration out on Tulsa today as they get revenge, they do return home to a relatively larger crowd than usual on a Friday night and with their better play of late, they are in a decent spot here for a double-digit win and Vegas understands that and this is why they have set a 2-9 team as a seven point favorite. Look for Seimone Augustus, Lindsay Whalen, and Stanford alum Candace Wiggins to have a strong ballgame here. The Shock are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games in Minnesota.

Brian Bannieter comes off one of his worst starts of the year. In fact, it was his worst. He gave up nine runs in 3 innings of work on 11 hits. Prior to that Brian had put together four of five quality starts and he was pitching relatively well. I look for Brian to have a much better effort this evening as he looks to bounce-back against a quality team such as the Braves. Brian is actually a decent pitcher and as he comes off a horrible effort, I can't see him put together back to back terrible starts. Derek Lowe comes off a quality start over the Twins as he went more than seven innings and gave up just two runs in the process. He has pitched well at home of late as he has given up one run in back to back efforts against the likes of the Phillies and Pirates. He also faced the Mets at home and gave up three runs in seven innings as well. Long story short, Derek has come through for the Braves at home as he is pitching in a first place ballclub and at the same time, Bannister is facing the Braves as he comes off a rough start. And, with 80% being on the Braves, I look for the dog pitcher to have a quality effort today as well as this game likely goes under the posted total. The Under is 6-2-2 in Bannister's last 10 road starts when the total is set at this range and the Under is 5-0 for Lowe when the total is set at this range
