Sparks vs Mercury Prediction
I get the Sparks are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but that means nothing to me when they’ve lost three of their first four games at home. The Sparks are 1-5-2 ATS in their last eight games as a favorite, and all five of those failed covers were outright losses. The Sparks lost to the Dream and Valkyries at home this season as a favorite. Also, while the season is still young, the Mercury have played the better ball overall. Give me the free bucket in a game the Mercury could win outright if forms of both teams hold.
