Los Angeles Sparks vs. Phoenix Mercury Prediction
I’m on the Sparks in this one. The Mercury for me continue to be the most disappointing team in the WNBA as this team just can’t get it together after their finals run from last season and I know they lost Satou Sabally to the Liberty, but this is a drop off of epic proportions. The Sparks still have a full cast of characters and I think the Sparks take care of business on the road here. Give me Los Angeles.
Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Los Angeles -1.5
