Premium Pick

The Phoenix Mercury are about to put a cap on their best season ever. They have amassed a 27-5 record on the season, and will be the odds-on favorite to win it all. The Mercury may have nothing to play for, but their is something about a 14-game home winning streak that would be a big factor come the playoffs to make it 15 straight going in. Los Angeles has underachieved for the entire season, and have not been in Phoenix's league in their last two against them, with both resulting in 20+ point losses. The Sparks' inconsistent play has left them at 8-22 ATS in their last 30 games when following a win, and they are 0-5 ATS in their last five on no rest. The Mercury are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 vs. a losing team, and will have enough in the tank to keep the home record in tact and get the cover. Take Phoenix.
