The Sparks are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Mystics are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games overall. The over is 6-2 in Sparks last 8 road games. The under is 4-1 in Mystics last 5 home games. The Sparks are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Washington.
The Los Angeles Sparks are watching their season fall apart before their eyes with 6 straight losses and a defense that can't get stops. However, it's important to note that a lot of the Sparks losses during this stretch have been competitive, especially late, where their last 2 games have been decided by a combined 5 points. The Washington Mystics are easily the better team here, but they just got slapped by the Sparks and a lot of their recent lines have been weird. The Mystics should win this game, but this line is steep. Give me the Sparks and the boatload of points.
Randy’s Pick Los Angeles Sparks +10.5
