Randy’s Pick

Just when it looked like the Los Angeles Sparks were turning the career, they’ve lost 3 straight and are on the outside looking in again in terms of the playoffs. Still, I don’t understand how the Mystics are favorites on the road. The Washington Mystics have lost 9 of their last 14 games and 5-12 SU on the road this season. The Sparks have seen 9 of their 15 wins come at home, and this is a must win if they’re going to make the playoffs. I’ll gladly grab the points.
