Phoenix at Chicago

August 18, 2009
img8:00 PM Eastern

The Chicago Sky got off to a 6-2 start on the season and looked like big things were taking place, especially after a 5-0 start at home. Things have not come quite so easy since, as they are just 7-9 since that start. The Phoenix Mercury have proven to be for real. They are coming into this one off a loss, where they have been particularly tough all season. They have rebounded to go 6-1 after tasting defeat - a sign of a steady, consistent, good team. They are not only 6-1 SU but they have also turned in a 6-1 ATS mark after those losses. The Mercury have now gone 11-4 ATS in their last 15, and with two days rest are a perfect 5-0. The Sky have had difficulties after a straight-up win as they are just 2-8 ATS after winning. I'll go with Phoenix in this one.
