Chicago Sky vs. Phoenix Mercury Prediction
I’m on the Mercury here. I just can’t get behind the Sky in their current form as they can’t get out of their own way as the losses continue to pile up. I just think this Mercury team is starting to find some confidence after a rough start to the year and I look for Phoenix to keep that rolling here at home.
