The Seattle Storm continue to run hot and cold, and they're not a consistent team that I'm thrilled to back on the road against a quality opponent. The Las Vegas Aces are playing some of their best ball of the season, and they look to lock up the top seed in the league with a victory here. We're not being asked to lay all that much. Because of consistency, I have to give the edge to the Aces at home.
