Over 60% favor Minny here in this ballgame and why shouldn't they, they are 54-42 and 33-18 at home, while Texas is just 4 wins off the pace with 50 but 25-26 on the road, however, that is a far cry from their results last year. Texas lost 0-6 yesterday so they look to bounce-back today, they lefty Matt Harisson gets the start and although he has helped his team win both ballgames he has pitched in this year, he had a 16.92 era start against the white sox at home, luckily they still won 12-11 against Contreras b/c that was my pod and I was on the Harrison and the rangers for that game, he gave up 5 runs in less than 3 innings in that game though, having said that, in his first home start against the Angels, he gave up just 5 hits in 7 innings for 2 runs and the Rangers ended up winning 3-2 as the kid outdueled Joe Saunders and cashed as a +115 dog, Livan has had 3 straight rocky starts of late, he had a 5.14 against milwauke at home, he had a 4.5 era against cleveland at home, although that was a success as the twins did win 12-3 in that ballgame (glad they won b/c that was another game I had pegged for the Twins as I went against Byrd on the road b/c of the splits), and comes off a 12.47 era against Boston on the road, in a game they lost 5-18. Thus, Livan is on a big bounce-back, having said that, Texas has rocked him for 9 and 10 hits this year in less than 3 and 6 innings, in other words, 19 hits and 9 innings. He had a 23.68 era and 8.44 era as both games went over at 10 and 15 runs. This game can go one of many ways, for one the Rangers love hitting Livan, but he could avoid losing 3 in a row to the Rangers this year which most pitchers do, Livan is on a big bounce-back as is the Harrison kid. The gutsy call here would be the under and given that 66% of the public enjoys the over, I believe both pitchers likely show up as they need to have quality starts today.

Game: LA Sparks @ Houston Comets - Saturday July 19, 2008 8:35 pm
Pick: 5 unit(s) ATS: Houston Comets -2 (110) (Game of the Month)
Any team going into Houston has to worry, this team is 10-12 but 7-2 at home and all their wins come of late now they have figured how to finish ballgames with the mix of new and old they have. L.A. beat this team in overtime earlier this year, back on July 9th, and Los Angeles does come off a tough loss to Phoenix on the road, and they have lost their last 3 road covers, Houston has come back home where they have covered 3 straight and the only team to beat the Silver Stars on 3 occasions this year, I think the public is wrong here and the home team comets get it done as they take away the 3 game road trip they had and they have won 6 of their last 7 ballgames.
The Comets have covered their last 4 ballgames at home and the Sparks are 0-7 ATS on the road as Underdogs.

Game: Atlanta Dream @ Phoenix Mercury - Saturday July 19, 2008 10:05 pm
Pick: 5 unit(s) ATS: Atlanta Dream +11 (-110) (Game of the Month)
The Dream are 6-1ATS in their last 7 road games adn the Mercury are 0-5 ATS their last 5 Saturdays which is no surprise as Vegas makes it difficult for this public team to cover on the weekends, especially saturday, look for the Dream to do extremely well on the road today, hell, they win outright at INdiana and Minny as double-digit dogs and nearly beat San Antonio and Sacramento as double-digit dogs.
research:
If you like high scoring ballgames, than this is your cup of team which sits at 185.5 which is a massive line for the wnba, just to give you some reference, an Indiana game is typically around 144 for a line. Atlanta fell short by 18 last time but expect them to play much better today as they have been great double-digit dogs on the road thus far, 60% of the public favors Phoenix but incorrectly in my opinion, people forget all that the Dream have done lately after their first win against Chicago, check out the numbers: they are on a up tick:
After winning against Chicago for their first win, they have rolled to 4 of 5 covers, and the one cover they failed, was agaisnt Chicago which Chicago of course had revenge. So, in reality to me, they have covered 4 in a row and they still get a double-digit spread here.

07/16/08 @IND W 81-77 W 10.5
07/13/08 @CHI L 66-79 L 5.5
07/11/08 @SA L 74-82 W 10.5
07/09/08 @MIN W 73-67 W 11
I think the Dream make a shocker and has a great shot at cover, and who knows, maybe even win this baby outright.
