Shane’s Free Pick
The Mercury’s offense has been an issue all season and even in their last game where they won, the offense wasn’t that great. Even against a bad defense, they are going to struggle to score again. The Mercury’s defense is going to be good again though, and that will be the difference here. Back the under to cash here.
