Seattle Storm vs. Connecticut Sun WNBA Prediction: A Tale of Two Teams (and a Snowball’s Chance in Hell)

The Connecticut Sun (13-6 record) host the Seattle Storm (14-5 record) on July 9, 2025, in what’s shaping up to be a lopsided affair—unless the Sun decide to trade their basketballs for slot machines and chase cosmic luck. The Storm are -110 on the moneyline across bookmakers, while the Sun are a staggering +1300 underdogs. That’s not a typo. That’s the WNBA version of betting on a snowman to beat a heatwave.

Key Stats & Odds:
- Totals Line: 156.5 points (Even money on Over/Under). With the Storm’s elite defense (top-3 in the league) and the Sun’s pedestrian offense (14th in scoring), the UNDER is a no-brainer.
- Player Props:
- Nneka Ogwumike (+400) leads the Storm’s “First Basket Scorer” market on FanDuel. She’s the team’s heartbeat, and at +400, she’s basically a free bet if you’re feeling nostalgic for the 2018 Storm.
- Olivia Nelson-Ododa (-150) is the favorite to score the first basket for Seattle, but her -150 odds are about as shocking as a bald eagle winning a chess tournament.

The Verdict:
The Storm are so favored they’re basically playing exhibition basketball against a team of Sun fans. The Sun’s only hope? Praying the Storm’s starters take the night off to play Call of Duty and their backups show up hungover.

Pick: Seattle Storm -17.5 (-110) and UNDER 156.5 (-110). If you must take a prop, back Nneka Ogwumike to score first (+400)—but only if you believe in miracles and have a death wish.

Implied Probability Fun Fact: The Storm’s -110 line gives them a 52.4% implied win probability. The Sun’s +1300 line? A laughable 7.1%. That’s the WNBA’s version of “you’re not gonna need a raincoat… unless you’re the Sun.”
