The chemistry is clicking for the Liberty. Angel Reese is a double-double machine. Which team will get the last laugh on Saturday? Well after having to swallow a 91-76 loss on Thursday, the Sky are the ones hoping to get a chuckle this time around. They'll have the benefit of being on their home floor, but the WNBA's best team — the New York Liberty — aren't going to let T-Spoon's team have it their way that easily.
Let's take a look at Liberty vs. Sky odds and make a WNBA pick and prediction in our betting preview for Saturday, July 13 with tipoff set for 1 p.m. ET on ABC.
New York Liberty
Now there's one main thing that the Liberty shouldn't do. And that's feel as if they can skate through this matchup simply because they were successful earlier this week against the Sky. Cocky is not the name of this game. If anything, the Libs should be on high alert.
The Liberty are 6.5-point favorites in this matchup and defense, defense, defense — lockdown defense, that is — will be what they need to contain Chennedy Carter and Angel Reese. New York ranks third in the league by allowing only 77.4 PPG. Slowing down Carter is one thing, but Reese being on the historic streak that's she is on is another story.
All signs point to the Libs being dominant especially with Sabrina Ionescu leading the pack with 20+ point performances over the past three games. I expect her to get fed to keep the offense rolling to put the Liberty on top once again.
Chicago Sky
After a couple of days, the underdogs come into Wintrust Arena with time to reassess and try to right what went wrong in the last matchup. I see Chennedy Carter to have a bigger chip on her shoulder this time around and getting straight to the buckets.
It's likely that we'll have a Chenn and Barbie show-out as the two forces have a point to prove especially with the Sky trying inch up above the Indiana Fever in the eastern conference.

Betting Pick & Prediction
The Liberty are 7-4 in their road games against the spread and I say they take it up a notch with improving that to 8-4 after this game. After hitting the over in their last meetup against the Sky, the Liberty really just need to stick to their usual recipe and they should be able to do just the same this time around.
Pick: Over 164.5 | Chennedy Carter Over 20.5 points (bet365)
