Randy’s Pick

The Seattle Storm have had covering success lately, but they’re still not a team I trust with small numbers. The Storm have been the worst team in the league all year, and that defense remains pathetic. The Phoenix Mercury have had their issues as well, and they’ve actually lost both meetings against the Storm this season, but they’re at home, they’re the more talented team and maybe the Taurasi explosion and record is a boost this squad needed. The Mercury finally had something to feel good about. Line is small. I’ll lay the bucket with the Mercury.
