Spread Pick for Washington Mystics vs. NY Liberty
- Washington Mystics +12 (5 units)
The Liberty are headed to the playoffs and they will be at worst a No. 5 seed this year. They will come away with the win in this game, but they won’t cover. New York has really struggled this season as big favorite. They are 4-10-1 against the spread when they are favored. The Mystics have played well when they have been underdogs. They are 16-13 against the spread as an underdog. I expect a close game with New York, finding it hard to put away a team that they should easily beat. The Mystics are on their long losing streak at the moment, but they have covered in three of the seven games that they have been an underdog in. The Liberty have also not been as dominant inside their home areas with their 11-9-1 against the spread record when playing at home.
Take Washington to cover.
Over/Under Pick for Washington Mystics vs. New York Liberty
- Under 159 (5 units)
The under is 14-7 when the Liberty have played at home. New York is the third fastest team in the league, but their strength on the defensive end allows for low scoring games to occur. They rank sixth in defensive scoring while also being the best 3-point defense. The Mystics rank eighth in pace as they look to slow the game down. Washington is also the third-worst scoring offense in the sport. The under is 12-9 when Washington has played on the road.
Take the under on Tuesday.
