Mercury vs Aces Prediction
We’re not used to seeing the Aces as big underdogs, so I can understand those who want to take a shot with the points. However, we have to call it how we see it, and right now the Aces aren’t recognizable. The Aces are below .500 through 15 games and are 5-10 ATS on the season. The Mercury are the hottest team in the league with seven straight wins, and they’ve covered seven of their last 10 games. The Mercury also already beat the Aces on the road a couple of weeks ago. I’m on the Mercury bandwagon. I’ll lay the points with the home team.
