Stephen Nover's WNBA Playoff Game of the Year

Match Up	Pick	Rating	Score	Result	Profit	Analysis
Padres vs Giants	Padres -113	Premium	1-2	Loss	-113	Show
The Padres waited way too long. But they are on a season-best 9-1 hot streak. The Giants are going the opposite way - 2-8 in their last 10 games. San Francisco has ace Logan Webb pitching at home here. Webb, however, is trumped by Blake Snell, the most effective pitcher in the National League. Snell's season numbers are 14-9 with a 2.33 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 227 strikeouts in 174 innings. Webb can't match that at 10-13 with a 3.35 ERA. What's so impressive about Snell, though, is his current form. He's working on 13 straight scoreless innings, allowing only two base runners in his past two starts. Snell is 5-1 career-wise against San Francisco with a 1.83 ERA. San Diego is 10-1 in Snell's last 11 starts. Rarely will I go against Webb when he pitches at home. But this is the exception, getting the much hotter team with the best pitcher in the league at a low lay price.
Eagles vs Bucs	Eagles -4½ -120	Top Premium	25-11	Win	100	Show
The record shows both the Eagles and Buccaneers to be 2-0. But the Buccaneers are at least two levels behind Philadelphia. The Eagles, too, are on an extra rest having played in the Week 2 Thursday game. The Eagles are due to play better as their players adjust to new coordinators. The extra rest and practice time should come in handy for them here. Tampa Bay has beaten the winless Bears and winless Vikings. The Buccaneers are plus 5 in turnover ratio during these victories. The Buccaneers' defense still has good players, but it's not great anymore. I'm not buying the early hype on Baker Mayfield either. He's looked better than he did the previous couple of seasons, but he's still Baker Mayfield with severe limitations. The Eagles not only have the edges at the skill positions - Jalen Hurts is 19-1 in his last 20 regular-season starts - but also have the advantage in the trenches. Philadelphia is the second-leading rushing team and ranks No. 1 in run defense. Mayfield isn't going to have a run game to keep the Eagles' pass rushers honest. The Eagles easily led the NFL in sacks last season with 70.
