The team with the worse record here is favored by five points. And I don't think it's enough. This is a big revenge situation. On June 6, the Mystics strolled in here and laid a 12-point beat down on the Sun, who were favored by 7.5 points. It was an ugly start for the season for Connecticut and they have been looking forward to this shot at redemption all season long. "I think they wanted it more than we did," Sun guard Erin Phillips said after that contest. The Mystics have been outscored on average on the road this season while Connecticut has won their home games by five points per game on average. Washington has covered five of their last six games but that's a bad omen as this team is 9-24 ATS after covering four of their last five games. They are also 2-10 ATS the past two seasons after a win by six or fewer points. And, back to the revenge motif. The Sun are 7-1 ATS this season revenging a loss.
