2008 Season WNBA Basketball Past Picks

The Detroit Shock makes the trip to Washington to square off with the Mystics. What had been hope for renewal and revival for the Mystics after a poor showing before the break has gotten even worse. They have dropped all three games, two of which were at home to teams that are under .500. The WNBA is a home court league, but not in the house of the Mystics, as outside of the lowly Atlanta Dream, they are the only other team under .500 at home at 6-9. The Shock has all winnable games left on their schedule and has owned the Mystics this season, burying them in this building by 37 points already, as well as putting a double-digit pasting on them at home. I can't see a team that is losing with a high degree of regularity against weak teams putting up a fight here. The Shock gets the call on the moneyline.
