Phoenix Mercury vs. Washington Mystics Prediction

I’m on the Mercury here. I get the case to be made for a home underdog in some spots, but the thing in this game is that the Mystics have just fallen off of the map as of late and the Mercury are still fighting to secure home court for the first round of the WNBA playoffs. The Mercury are just heads and shoulders the better team here and I think they get the job done in this one. Give me Phoenix here.
