The Sky are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite, 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest and 11-1 ATS in their last 12 Saturday games. The Sun are 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 vs. Eastern Conference, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The over is 35-17-3 in Sky last 55 overall. The under is 5-2 in Sun last 7 overall. The Sky are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Connecticut and 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
I mentioned before the season started that the Chicago Sky were title contenders, and they’re off to a strong 4-2 record with one of the top offenses in the league. The Connecticut Sun just can’t get out of their own way and they’re having a hard time finding consistent offense. This line isn’t showing much respect to the Sky and what they’ve done up to this point. I’ll gladly lay the bucket here.
