The Mercury are the better team and have played their best ball at home, so they should be favored. However, the Mystics are battle tested with three straight road games, and they’ve been cash cows in the underdog role dating back to last season. In fact, the Mystics are 19-8 ATS in their last 27 games as an underdog. We’ve backed the Mystics heavy in these spots, and there’s no reason to stop now. The Mystics are also getting a boost in the return of Aaliyah Edwards, while the Mercury are still without Copper. Give me the road dog.
