Best Parlay Picks for the WNBA Playoffs, Featuring Mystics vs. Storm

The WNBA playoffs has begun! In this betting preview, I’ll be sharing my top parlay picks for Round 1 of the playoffs. I’m zoning in on two games: Mystics vs. Storm and Mercury vs. Aces. Both of my sharp parlay picks are from OddsJam.

Phoenix Mercury vs. Las Vegas Aces Betting Odds, Picks, Predictions

Wednesday, August 17 at 10 p.m. ET

The first leg I have in my parlay is a pick on the Mercury vs. Aces game. Game 1 is taking place at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Paradise, Nevada. This game is set to tip off at 10 p.m. ET.

The point spread in this matchup is currently set at -15.5 (Aces favored), and the total points over/under is set at 167.5.

Unsurprisingly, the Las Vegas Aces are large favorites at home in Game 1. The Aces are best offered at -1400 moneyline odds on bwin, a Canadian sportsbook. This means you have to bet $1,400 on the Aces moneyline to profit a mere $100. The Phoenix Mercury are best offered at +1225 moneyline odds on Circa Sports (e.g. stake $100 to profit $1,225 if the Mercury win).

Real-time odds from all bookmakers can be seen on the OddsJam WNBA Odds Screen. OddsJam has real-time WNBA odds from over fifity sportsbooks. As a sports bettor, it is critical to line shop and always get the best possible odds. Line shopping is at the core of Positive EV betting, which is the most profitable form of sports betting.

Betting markets are implying that the Las Vegas Aces are roughly 93% to win this matchup on Wednesday. The Phoenix Mercury are heavy underdogs, with sportsbook odds implying they are a mere 7% to win this game.

On DraftKings sportsbook, the Las Vegas Aces are favored to win the WNBA Championship. As seen in the screenshot below, the Aces are offered at +150 odds to win the title. The Chicago Sky are next in line at +250 odds to win the championship.

My official pick for Mercury vs. Aces is Mercury +15.5 on the point spread at -110 odds. This is the first leg of my WNBA parlay.

Washington Mystics vs. Seattle Storm Betting Odds, Picks, Predictions

Thursday, August 18 at 10 p.m. ET

The next game I have bet on is Mystics vs. Storm. I’m backing the Storm -3.5 point spread at -110 odds on WynnBet sportsbook. This was a Positive EV bet from OddsJam. As seen in the screenshot below, the profit margin of this play is 2.17%.

The value is clear in both Positive EV plays. The sharpest bookmakers are both pricing the Storm -3.5 and Mercury +15.5 point spread wagers at -124 odds. I was able to pick up -110 odds on both of these WNBA point spread wagers.

I parlayed both of these point spread picks together on WynnBet. The parlay bet comes out to +264 odds, and I wagered $100 on it. I’m staking $100 to win $264 in profit.
