Golden State Valkyries vs. New York Liberty Prediction

I’m on the Liberty here. I get the case to be made for Golden State after their back-to-back wins, but this is a tough spot for the Valkyries to head out East for the first time this season and the Liberty are still the defending champs that have been able to put up points in bunches so far this season. I think that Golden State will be competitive down the road but this to me just seems like a seismic mismatch so give me the Liberty laying the big number.
