Fever vs Mystics Prediction
The Fever are going to be favored at home all season but you’re also going to get an inflated price due to CC being on the team. The Mystics aren’t bad and they already have a road win over Toronto and a competitive game against the Liberty. The Mystics are also a team that’s been kind to us as underdogs, as they’ve covered 5 of their last 6 in the role and 10 of their last 15. The underdog is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games between the Mystics and Fever. The Fever hasn’t played enough defense to lay these sorts of numbers. I’ll grab the buckets with the Mystics.
