Las Vegas at Chicago

Chicago just put together the best two-game run of its season, hanging 101 and then 124 points on Portland while shooting a franchise record in the second one. Kamilla Cardoso went 13-for-13 for 30, and Courtney Vandersloot returned from a year out and changed how the whole offense moved. The Sky are still a 6-12 team, and Las Vegas is the better club by a comfortable margin. None of that is in dispute. The price is. The Aces give up points even in their wins, and they arrive on the road nursing a handful of day-to-day injuries to the rotation. Chicago at home is a different offense than the one that lost six straight, and Cardoso is a problem inside for anyone. At +257, this isn't a claim that the Sky are the better team. It's a number treating them as an afterthought when they're a live home dog playing their best ball of the year. The sharp money has already moved to Chicago. You only need the Sky to win a shade under three times in ten. Side with Chicago.
