Randy’s Pick

The Chicago Sky have watched their season unravel these last couple of weeks, and another loss here wouldn’t be shocking. However, the Sky still have a chance to turn things around, and they did just blast the Storm 102-79 back on Tuesday. This is simply a must win game for the Sky if they’re going to stay in the playoff hunt. It’s a near pick em line. Give me the Sky.
