Atlanta Dream vs Washington Mystics Prediction
Is this a serious line? I get that the Mystics and Dream are fighting with the Sky for the last playoff spot, and you’d give the edge to the home team. However, the Mystics have won 6 of their last 8 games and have been covering machines for the last month. The Atlanta Dream have lost 7 of their last 9 games and their defense is heading in the wrong direction. I’m kind of expecting the Mystics to win this game outright with the way they’re playing. This line is strange.
