**Shoemaker Releases WNBA Best Bets for Labor Day Slate**
Sports analyst Tyler Shoemaker, known online as T Shoe Index (@TShoeIndex on X), released his WNBA betting projections for Monday’s three-game schedule. While acknowledging a busy Labor Day balancing WNBA and college football analysis, Shoemaker provided insights and picks based on his T Shoe Index projections.
The first game on the docket, Atlanta Dream vs. Connecticut Sun, sees Shoemaker projecting Atlanta Dream -12 with a total of 160.5. However, Shoemaker is passing on the game, citing little value in the current betting line.
In the Dallas Wings vs. Minnesota Lynx game, Shoemaker’s model projects Minnesota -15 with a total of 173.5. But, Shoemaker again opted to pass because his model is conflicted.
Shoemaker likes the Los Angeles Sparks on the road in the final game against the Seattle Storm. Although the Sparks are on a back-to-back and have struggled to cover recently, Shoemaker likes the Sparks +6 or better and Under 172 or better. His model projects the Storm -4 with a total of 171, while his market estimation model projects the Storm -2.5 with a total of 171.5. Shoemaker’s market estimation aligns with TSI on totals, and is 18-5 when this is true.
