Connecticut Sun vs. Washington Mystics Prediction
I’m on the under in this game. This is a massive number for a Mystics team that’s just 3-6 ATS as home favorites this season but I think the number is justified given how poor hte Sun have looked in much of their travels. I think this is just a lower-scoring affair so I’d rather target the total than the side here. Give me the under.
