Thanks for watching, as always on YouTube TV, listening on SiriusXM Channel 158, iHeartRadio, TuneIn Radio, or any of our affiliates across the country. Busy Hour coming up, Andy Molitor on the program, coming up in 15 minutes, one half of the Deep Dive podcast, along with Jude Insickle talks of NFL futures with him at that point. Wes Reynolds on the show.
Look at the rest of the golf weekend that we have, and his Hoosiers, I think, had a really good week on the field this week. We'll explain that. Doug Gazarian on the program later on, and Christopher Smith, who covers the Red Sox. So as for the WNBA games that we have tonight, Pauly, the Golden State Valkyries are playing at the Dallas Wings. Dallas, they're holding tight here as a one or one and a half point favorite in the game. The total, look at this now, this is an atypical WNBA game over the past week plus the total is at 161 and a half.
It's that low on the screen here at circa 163 and a half. Tyler Shoemaker, vsin.com says the wings have been two and a half points worse than their season average over the last three games. Golden State has been slightly above theirs. They won the only prior matchup this year, 91-80, that was in Golden State. I took the Valkyries today at plus one and a half in this game. Good.

**Pauly Howard** (1:28)
Concur. Yeah.
I think it's the wrong team's favorite.

**Mitch Moss** (1:33)
I think at worst, even in Dallas, for whatever home court might be worth here in this sport, it has to be a Pick'em.
At worst. And I would probably lean with you that they should be a slight favorite here.

**Pauly Howard** (1:43)
And you might hate me. I like all three games over tonight.

**Mitch Moss** (1:47)
Well, why would I hate you?

**Pauly Howard** (1:48)
Well, I just think basket because of the five and one under run now. But I just think this because Golden State has been and been scoring the last couple of games and played four straight overs. And Dallas doesn't play any defense. So I think this can be a high scoring game. We know Atlanta gets up and goes and they can score. And that's 170 And you know what to do with the Mercury. They're playing an awful Sun team. And they've been great offensively since they acquired Plum. And they have a lot of ammunition and firepower as well. And they're also very good with the pace.
So I think we can see some high scoring games here tonight.

**Mitch Moss** (2:20)
Yeah, in that game, Phoenix playing on the road against Connecticut, the first number that I saw for the total was 171.5, bumped up to 175 And now it's around 173.5. That's the game that I like to go over. Cause I think this Phoenix style is gonna translate for the rest of the year and they're gonna play.
And by the way, look at the totals tonight compared to what they have been the last two nights here. Every game, basically the last couple of nights, well, the Caesars again posted the Fever and the Aces on an Oprah at 196 That game, you want to talk about betting alt-unders like last night in that game and some others as well. Overtime wasn't even close enough for it as well. Overtime couldn't even get the second half total over.

**Pauly Howard** (2:59)
Yeah, how about that?

**Mitch Moss** (2:59)
So it was that high. And the night before, same thing kinda happened with three and one to the under there.

**Pauly Howard** (3:03)
Good point. I'm glad you mentioned that. That's another thing you can do at halftime. They are still putting up ridiculously high totals.

**Mitch Moss** (3:10)
Oh, super high.

**Pauly Howard** (3:11)
95s, Chicago game, the high total in the 90s of the fever game that wasn't even close.

**Mitch Moss** (3:18)
Was it 96 and a half, 97 and a half last night?

**Pauly Howard** (3:20)
So still at halftime, they're gonna put up a lot of high totals for the second half as well, if you can jump in or you want to.

**Mitch Moss** (3:27)
Okay.

**Pauly Howard** (3:28)
And we got a couple, maybe a couple gals are out for Washington. They've covered six in a row, and they're off the biggest comeback in franchise history going back since 2017 They were down 20 against Dallas. Atlanta opened three. They're up to five and a half because of the injuries and 170 and a half. They're playing, the record's there in terms of the wins, but it's been, you know, that miracle win on the atrocious call when they were down five with like 20 seconds. And there was another comeback they had with the other team handed on the game. So I don't think, I don't think they're as good as their record says.
