Handicapper: Wunderdog Sports Sport: WNBA Basketball Game: Washington Mystics @ New York Liberty - Thursday July 30, 2009 7:30 pm Pick: 5 units ATS: New York Liberty -4.5 (+100)
The Washington Mystics have been an improved team on the season and after playing six straight at home, they lost their last on the road at Indiana. While they have been a decent defensive team at home, that hasn't translated well for them on the road where they allowed over 80 points in three of their last four, while allowing 80+ just twice the entire season at home. The Liberty lost a one-point heartbreaker at Washington less than two weeks ago, and they will be primed to redeem a tough loss. Not only do the Liberty have revenge on their side here, but they have also been coming up huge after a straight-up loss with a 23-8 ATS mark, and an even better 22-6 ATS off three days rest. I'll go with New york in this one.
