Liberty vs. Mercury Best Player Prop Bets, Picks for Today – August 6, 2022: Diggins-Smith will Shine

Liberty vs. Mercury Prop Bets, Odds for August 6

10pm ET

Obviously, the Brittney Griner conviction has been the focus of the WNBA this week. Brittney Griner was a WNBA superstar who played for the Phoenix Mercury.

Tonight, the Mercury matchup against the NY Liberty at 10pm ET (7pm PT). This game is in Phoenix. As seen on the OddsJam WNBA Odds Screen, the Liberty are slight favorites on the moneyline. The New York Liberty are best offered at -130 moneyline odds on DraftKings sportsbook.

The Phoenix Mercury have the best moneyline odds (+115) on a variety of sportsbooks, including BetMGM, Betfred, Pointsbet and Caesars.

You should always be line shopping and getting the best possible odds on all of your wagers. Getting great odds is the core of Positive EV betting, which is the most profitable form of sports betting. My #1 tip for new sports bettors is always to line shop. Get the best possible odds!

The Liberty are currently 1.5 favorites on the point spread, and the total (e.g. o/u) is set at 162.5 total points on FanDuel.

I’d lean to bet on the Mercury point spread (+1.5) tonight against the NY Liberty, but I don’t have an official pick locked in on the spread. Rather, I found value in the player props.

Not many sportsbooks offer WNBA player prop betting markets, but a few do. PrizePicks, Underdog Fantasy and Bet365 all offer odds on WNBA props.

The player prop pick I have for tonight is on Skylar Diggins-Smith, the superstar guard for the Phoenix Mercury. I’m taking her over 18.5 player points on PrizePicks. Skylar Diggins-Smith is averaging 19.7 ppg, as well as 5.5 assists, 4 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1 block.

Diggins-Smith has struggled a bit recently in terms of offensive production, but I think she’ll bounce back tonight at home against the NY Liberty.

Official Pick: Skylar Diggins-Smith o18.5 Points, Victoria Vivians o9 Points at +200 odds on PrizePicks
