Washington Mystics vs. Los Angeles Sparks Prediction

I’m on the Sparks here. I get the case to be made for the Mystics considering they’re running out of time to keep their season alive, but the thing is that the Mystics have put themselves in this position and are just struggling mightily. Los Angeles has had consistency issues of their own, but I still think they’re the better team in this game and I look for them to get the job done here. Give me Los Angeles here.
