Randy’s Pick
The Washington Mystics are the more talented team on paper and should be favored because of that. However, the Chicago Sky have looked good through two games, especially on the defensive side, and now they're at home. The Sky are 2-0 and both of those wins came on the road. The Sky deserve some credit. I'll take a shot with the home dog, riding the hot hand.
