Mystics at Liberty: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Mystics 83, Liberty 79
Money line (ML)
The MYSTICS (+105) are a solid value on the road, as they look to continue the woes of the Liberty on their home floor.
Charles played with a chip on her shoulder last time she faced New York in the nation’s capital. You can bet she will play with a little extra incentive back in the Big Apple for the first time.

Against the spread (ATS)
MYSTICS +1.5 (-105) are a good play against a Liberty team which is just 3-8 SU and ATS across their past 11 games.
Washington has been quite erratic lately, following up a three-game win streak with a three-game losing skid. The Mystics are also a respectable 5-4 SU/4-5 ATS across their past nine.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 163.5 (-115) has been the rule for Washington lately.
The Over is 3-1 across the past four for the Mystics, and 11-3 across their last 14, including their May 21 win over the Liberty.
New York is 4-1 on the Under across its past five games, but the edge is to the Over in seven home games this season at 4-3.
