10* TOTAL BLOOD-BATH (9-6 YTD WNBA START!)
(WNBA) New York vs. Seattle,
Total: 168.00 | -105.00 Under
Result: Win
This is a 10* TOTAL BLOOD-BATH on the UNDER Liberty/Storm.

Both teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games, but I expect those trends to end this evening, as the numbers and the overall situation point to much more of a defensive affair than what this O/U line is suggesting.

The Liberty have seen the total go OVER in four straight after their 98-81 blowout loss to Las Vegas last time out. Despite that high-scoring setback though, note that New York has still seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 12 after playing to three or more straight OVERs in a row.

The Storm have seen the total go OVER in three straight after their 99-97 OT loss here at home to Minnesota, dropping both games against the Lynx. Note though that Seattle has seen the total go UNDER in three of its last four after playing to three or more straight OVERs in a row.

All signs point to a defensive battle in the PNW.

Good luck, NP
