The Seattle Storm in the underdog role is always an attractive option, but thy have struggled these last couple of weeks, and they still have issues covering numbers, especially on the road. The Washington Mystics are playing some of their best ball of the season, and they have a clear edge at home with an early start with a team that's used to west coast time. You could see some sluggish play from the Storm out the gate. Give me the Mystics and the small number.
