Favorites in the Game?
The Mystics are the superior team in this matchup, and after how well they performed against the Las Vegas Aces in their most recent match, they are very confident going into this contest. Atlanta’s inconsistent offense won’t allow them to keep this game close as Washington will find offensive success once more. Betting against Washington won’t be a good idea then, right?
