Randy’s Pick

The Washington Mystics have played their best ball at home all season, and they’re starting to get healthy. The Dallas Wings have taken a step back over the last couple of weeks, but they’re coming off back to back wins over a good team in the Sun. I need to see a little more than just one game before I can trust the Mystics again. I’ll take a shot with the road dog in the Wings.
