Randy’s Pick
The Washington Mystics continue to have trouble finishing games, and they’ve been terrible on the road, both SU and ATS. The Mystics 4 road wins are the least among any of the current playoff teams. The Dallas Wings are playing some of their best ball over the last 2 weeks, and they’ve covered 7 of their last 9 games. Thick line for a potential playoff team, but the Mystics have some showing and proving to do. I’ll lay the chalk with the Wings in this spot.
