The early set of games provided some surprises and some expected results, but I think I speak for everyone when I say that I’m just glad the WNBA is back. Quick introduction if you didn’t ready part 1 of The Money Line earlier today:

Here on The Money Line, we will give you the spreads for each game, telling you who is favorited, what the over/under is and a small game preview to give you context. At the end, I’ll make my picks and hopefully be right (last year I went 95-81 after a slow start. Remember folks, it’s a marathon, not a sprint). The home team will be list first on each page and when multiple lines are available, I pick the one I like best. We will cover the first three games of the day here; part 2 of The Money Line will be posted a bit later.

Lines are obtained through sportsbookreview.com.

Without further ado, let’s get to the games.
