Randy’s Pick
The Atlanta Dream have shown flashes here and there, but the truth is they’re probably the worst defensive team in the league, and it’s hard to compete with the best reams when trading buckets. The Washington Mystics have the firepower to expose this Dream defense, and they’ve been profitable to bettors lately with 4 straight covers. The line isn’t crazy. Give me the Mystics.
