Here are WNBA betting picks and predictions based on WNBA playoff odds for todayโ€™s schedule:

WNBA Bets Today: Friday, Oct. 18

Best Bet: Over 158.5 (-115)

Liberty vs. Lynx โ€“ 8 p.m. ET

ยป Bet this WNBA total at BetMGM

Based on the latest WNBA betting lines, my favorite bet for Game 4 of the WNBA Finals is on over 158.5 points between the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx. It’s worth noting that this line has moved up to 159.5 since the bet was placed.

This line feels like an overreaction to Game 3 when New York secured a thrilling 80-77 victory over Minnesota to finish under 160.5. That game nearly went to overtime before Sabrina Ionescu hit one of the biggest shots in franchise history with a deep 3-pointer in the closing seconds.

More than that, the over would have been the right side if New York had not had a poor start. The Liberty scored 18 points in the opening period and 17 in the second quarter.

The total was trading as high as 162.5 in Game 2, so I like buying the dip for Fridayโ€™s Game 4 in Minnesota. I project this WNBA odds total north of the original number of 160.5.
