Seattle Storm vs. Washington Mystics Prediction
I’m backing the Storm here. Is it an ideal spot to back the Storm? Not really, but I don’t trust the Mystics laying any sort of number right now and I don’t think this is a situation where I want to trust Washington to win by margin. Seattle has been competitive in certain spots and I look for Seattle to at least compete and keep this one respectable. Give me Seattle and the points.
