The Seattle Storm in the underdog role is always attractive given their experience and talent, but they've been hit or miss lately, and they've had their biggest struggles on the road, where they also don't cover numbers. The Chicago Sky have been the best and most consistent team in the league all year, and it's hard to pass them up when getting a reasonable number. The home team has won both meetings between these clubs this year. Give me the Sky at home and the reasonable number.
