Dallas Wings vs. Washington Mystics Prediction

I’m on the Mystics in this one. I get the case to be made for either side here, but the Mystics have the blueprint for how to take care of the Wings and I look for them to figure out the solution once again here. The Wings have been up and down as of late, and I think Washington nabs them again here. Give me Washington.
