Mercury Hosts Storm to Start WNBA 2nd Half

Mercury Look to Get on Winning Track

The Seattle Storm and the Phoenix Mercury will kick off the unofficial start of the WNBA 2nd half on Tuesday. They meet at Talking Stick Resort Arena.

Oddsmakers opened the Storm as 0-point favorites versus the Mercury, while the game's total opened at 166. The line is now Phoenix -3.5 and the total is at 167.

The Mercury were Losers of six of their last seven games. That included three straight at home to end the first half of the season. Phoenix is now just thinking about survival in their WNBA playoff hunt.

Before their recent skid the Mercury were 14-5 and challenging the Seattle Storm for the best record in the WNBA. It is no coincidence the skid coincides with losing power forward Sancho Lyttle to a season-ending knee injury June 30.

The Mercury are now 15-11 and only one game ahead of the No. 8 (and final playoff) team Connecticut.

Mercury Has Most of Starters Back

The Mercury lost their last game. It was a 101-87 setback against Chicago. They were without veteran guard Diana Taurasi, who served a one-game suspension for excessive technical fouls. Fellow All-Star Brittney Griner also ejected in the third quarter of the game.

Taurasi, Griner and All-Star forward DeWanna Bonner will be together again for the matchup against Seattle. The Storm sit atop the WNBA with a 19-7 record.

The Mercury on Monday signed 28-year-old forward Devereaux Peters to a seven-day contract. They hope to make up for the loss of Lyttle. Peters was originally selected with the third overall pick of the 2012 WNBA Draft by the Minnesota Lynx.

Peters will make her 2018 WNBA debut with the Mercury as she enters into her sixth WNBA season.

Storm Look to Take Control of West

Last time out for Seattle, they were a 92-72 winner as they battled the Indiana Fever on the road. The Storm covered in the match as a -11-point favorite. The 164 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.

Seattle is 1-1 against the Mercury this season. This includes an 87-71 win in Phoenix on May 23. They are preparing to face a hungry team with only eight regular-season games remaining.

Storm forward Breanna Stewart leads the WNBA averaging 22.8 points a game.

Pirates Host Cubs Tuesday Evening

Lester Faces Taillon on Tuesday as Pirates and Cubs Clash

The Pittsburgh Pirates will host the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday in what should be the most interesting pitching matchup of the night. Jon Lester will be on the mound for the Cubs, while the Pirates will counter with Jameson Taillon.

The Pirates have climbed to the fringes of the National League playoff race. They have a chance to put another dent in the deficit. The Pirates are winners of 15 of their last 19. The Pirates host the first-place Chicago Cubs for two critical games starting Tuesday.

The Cubs are clinging to a 1 1/2-game lead over second-place Milwaukee in the NL Central entering the week. The Pirates have clawed within seven games of the lead.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, NBCS Chicago, AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cubs LH Jon Lester (12-3, 3.06 ERA) vs. Pirates RH Jameson Taillon (7-8, 3.73)

ODDS: Both teams are -105 on the moneyline right now. The total is 7.5.

Tuesday’s game will be the 10^th meeting of the season between these teams. The Cubs have a 5-4 edge in the head-to-head season series so far.

Lester has been absolutely dominant for Chicago this season. Heading into Tuesday’s start, he has a 12-3 record and 3.06 ERA. He had a rare off night against the St. Louis Cardinals on July 20. Lester bounced back with a solid Lester-like outing.

Lester allowed just one earned run on four hits over 6.0 innings of work in a 2-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Lester is 7-1 with a 3.16 ERA in 10 road starts this season.

A couple Cubs will be excited to face Jameson Taillon for the first time this season. Javier Baez is 6-for-10 with a homer and Anthony Rizzo is 8-for-13 with two homers against the right-hander.

Anthony Rizzo has homered in three of his past four games since ending a 25-game drought.

David Bote has multiple hits in three of his past five contests.

Pirates Need Quality Outings from Starters

Pittsburgh will hope that Taillon will match Lester’s level of performance on Tuesday. Despite a solid 3.73 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP, Taillon is just 7-8 this season.

The 26-year-old right-hander has been at his best of late. He has given up just four earned runs allowed in 18.1 innings over his last three starts. Taillon is 3-4 with a 3.88 ERA in 10 road starts this season.

Taillon took a tough-luck loss last time out, but he posted his 11th consecutive start allowing three or fewer earned runs.

Jordy Mercer is 9-for-25 during an eight-game hitting streak.

Twins Look to Right Ship After Long Road Trip

Minnesota is coming off an extended 10-game road trip. They went 4-6 after losing the last three games of the four-game weekend series against Boston. It was outscored 17-7 in those three losses. The total staying UNDER VietBet's closing line in two of the three games.

The Twins are 48-56 on the year with a 29-22 record at home. The total has gone OVER in seven of their last nine home games.

Ervin Santana missed the first half of the MLB regular season with a finger injury. Last Wednesday he his season debut against Toronto. The right hander allowed three earned runs on seven hits in five innings pitched.

He struck out five and issued one walk. Minnesota went on to win that game 12-6, but Santana did not get the decision.

I am going with Cleveland on the road in Game 1 of this series. I think the Indians can take advantage of the rust that is still present in Santana’s throwing arm.
