Welcome to another day of the WNBA season. I'll write best bets for the day as the season progresses, so make sure to follow. I'll be keeping track of my results all year, but really I am simply excited there is another sport to bet on. There is a lot to be excited about this year. I will be betting one unit on all bets, and be sure to shop around for your best odds. Here is my best bet for each game.

Last Time: 1-1

Wednesdayâ€™s Best WNBA Bets

All odds via DraftKings.

Dallas Wings at Las Vegas Aces

After shaking things up a bit, the Wings have won each of their last two games and three out of their last five, with one loss coming on the road by a possession to the Sparks.

The Aces should be at the top of everyone's power rankings, but they aren't unstoppable. They are still 9-7 ATS, and the recent play of Dallas gives me confidence in the Wingsâ€™ ability to keep up.

The spread of 15 points is a lot, and the market is inflated towards Vegas, especially considering Dallas' ability to keep up with the pace of play and their all-around offense and defense. This should be a high-scoring affair, but the total of 175.5 is too rich for my blood, so I will be laying the points instead with Dallas.

Play: Wings +15

Phoenix Mercury at New York Liberty

Another road double-digit underdog in this one but this time, I am not so confident in the dog.

When these two teams met earlier this season, New York handled Phoenix with an 18-point victory. After going 2-9 in June with interim coach Nikki Blue, nothing screams confidence for this Phoenix team.

The Liberty has the benefit of having a player named Breanna Stewart, who can do it all against this last-ranked defensive team. Furthermore, Phoenix has truly struggled on the road this year, going 1-6 ATS away from home and 3-12 ATS overall.

There is no reason to go away from this trend for two lopsided teams with home-court advantage on your side as well.

Play: Liberty -14.5

Indiana Fever at Minnesota Lynx

Finally, a game that is essentially a pick-em. For me, however, there is a clear side.

After truly struggling at the start of the year with an abysmal 0-6 start, the Lynx have truly turned the ship around, going 6-2 over their last eight games. Diamond Miller is back from injury, and she showed why she was the second overall draft pick in their wins, while everything seems to be running on all cylinders otherwise.

Indiana, on the other hand, has lost four straight games, with a blowout by Phoenix in the mix as well. They have struggled offensively, and I don't exactly trust their 11th-ranked defense to show up on the road tonight.

This is an easy one for me, and I am honestly surprised at how close this spread is.

Play: Lynx -1.0
