Phoenix Mercury vs New York Liberty Prediction
The New York Liberty are the rightful favorites because they’re the better team on paper, they’re piling up wins, and they just comfortably beat the Aces in their building. The Liberty are probably the team to beat right now. With that said, those who have followed me all year know how I feel about this Mercury team and how I’ve talked them up as they were getting healthy. The Mercury have won 4 of their last 6 games, and that includes an underdog outright win over a good Storm team. The Mercury are 9-5 ATS this season and Brittney Griner is looking like her all star self in a small sample size. The Mercury lost by 3 points to the Liberty three weeks ago as 14.5 point underdogs, and that’s with them missing key players. At home this time, give me the Mercury and the free buckets.
