WNBA odds, lines, picks: Proven experts reveal parlay for May 17 that would pay almost 6-1

The Phoenix Mercury will try to avenge a season-opening blowout loss at the hands of the Las Vegas Aces when the two teams meet again Tuesday night at 10 p.m. ET. The Mercury have won both of their games since then, while host Las Vegas is 3-1 and holds a half-game edge atop the Western Conference. At 7 p.m. ET, the Connecticut Sun visit the New York Liberty and the Indiana Fever host the Atlanta Dream. The Washington Mystics visit the Dallas Wings (10 p.m. ET), and the night wraps up with the L.A. Sparks hosting the Minnesota Lynx (10:30 p.m. ET).

Las Vegas is a 7.5-point favorite in the latest Mercury vs. Aces odds from Caesars Sportsbook, and the Over/Under for total points scored is 170.5. The five-game slate provides numerous options for bettors, and combining the games in a parlay can earn much bigger payouts. 

Before you make any WNBA picks or parlays, you NEED to see what women's basketball experts Calvin Wetzel and Aaron Barzilai are saying.

Barzilai is a Ph.D. from Stanford who served as Director of Basketball Analytics for the Philadelphia 76ers. Five years ago, he founded HerHoopStats.com -- a groundbreaking website that unlocks insights about the women's game. Wetzel, the site's lead betting writer, incorporates his mathematical background and strong knowledge of women's hoops to turn the site's prediction model into picks.

Now, Barzilai and Wetzel have turned their attention to the WNBA after going 590-430 overall (+127.40 units, +13.6 percent) during the 2021-22 women's college basketball season. Anyone who has followed them has seen HUGE returns.

Wetzel and Barzilai, who hit on two of their three picks on Opening Night, have scoured the rosters and broken down the matchups for Tuesday's games. They have revealed a three-leg parlay that could lead to a payout of almost 6-1. 

We can tell you that one part of the three-leg parlay is the Aces vs. Mercury matchup to go Over the 170.5 total. These are two of the highest-scoring teams in the league, and Phoenix remains without defensive star Brittney Griner. The experts say you should "expect a shootout in this one."

But they have two other strong plays that MUST be in your three-leg parlays. You ABSOLUTELY need to see them before locking in any WNBA picks or parlays.
