Randy’s Pick
The New York Liberty are capable of a home blowout, and they already smacked the Dream around in 2 of the 3 meetings this season. Another comfortable win here wouldn’t be surprising. However, the Dream have played too well over the last month to turn down this amount of free points. With wins in 8 of their last 10 games, leaving 9 free points on the table doesn’t feel right. Also, the Liberty are 8-13 ATS this season, which is 10th in the league. Give me the road dog.
