The Washington Mystics remain in the playoff hunt despite three losses in their last four games. They will get a chance to right the ship against one that sank along time ago. Considered the frontrunner at the beginning of the WNBA season, the Sparks have completely disappointed and now must face playing out the string to close a frustrating season. The Sparks have fared poorly against the .500 teams or better in the league this season as there is just one team at or over the .500 mark they have beaten all year. To be a favorite in this one, certainly doesn't offer value taking them. The Mystics have already gone 7-4 ATS as a dog this season and have sprung the upset four times. Their 11 games as a dog have seen an average total points scored of 157.1 per game. These teams have played to the OVER 10 of their last 13 games, and in their last six in LA, five have toppled the total. I like Washington and the OVER here.
