Phoenix Mercury vs. Seattle Storm Prediction
I’m on the Storm here. I just don’t think the Mercury are in a position to be laying this kind of number against anyone as the Mercury are having a lot of lingering effects from making the finals last year but plain and simple, this is not the same team that made the WNBA finals last season. The Storm aren’t great, but there’s not as much of a gap between these two teams as this line would suggest and I think the Storm take care of business here.
