Dream vs Mystics Prediction
The Dream are as hot as any team in the league and should be favored at home. However, those who have followed along over the years know the Mystics thrive in the underdog role and are a team I usually blindly back in these spots. I’ve screamed it all year that the Mystics are good and don’t get respect from oddsmakers. Also, the Mystics have beaten the Dream twice since July. If there’s a chance for a first-round upset, I’d put my money on the Mystics. They’re young, but they’re solid. The Mystics will compete in this series. Give me the points.
