It's a monster five-game WNBA slate on Sunday, July 27, with CBS Sports Network televising the first tip at 1 p.m. ET between the Golden State Valkyries and Connecticut Sun. The other nationally televised games are the Indiana Fever taking on the Chicago Sky at 3 p.

Winning at sports betting often requires contrarian opinions and ugly picks. The Connecticut Sun fit that profile with a WNBA -worst 3-20 record. But a deeper dive shows a more attractive option than at first glance. Despite their grotesque record, they are a respectable 11-12 against the spread (ATS).

The Dallas Wings (7-17) look to continue their positive momentum as they travel out west to take on the Golden State Valkyries (10-12) on Friday.

The Golden State Valkyries will be facing the Connecticut Sun on Sunday morning. In their first time meeting, Golden State came away with an 87-63 win against the Sun. Their game on Sunday at the Mohegan Sun Arena will be the first of five away games for the Valkyries.
