The WNBA season has been full of unpredictability to this point, so we’re goign to give our WNBA Free Pick for Tuesday’s batch of games. The Phoenix Mercury were firing on all cylinders during the month of July. However, the team is just 5-5 in their last 10 games and has experienced difficulties shooting from the field. Alyssa Thomas is the player who drives the Mercury as the point forward, but even she’s prone to bad shooting games. Tuesday, they prepare to take on Kelsey Plum and the Los Angeles Sparks.
But which side is poised for a favorable outcome? The Mercury comes in as 3.5-point favorites against a Los Angeles team that hasn’t fared well at home this season. The Sparks are 16-19 ATS overall for the season, including an abysmal 5-12 ATS record at home. The Mercury have won both matchups against the Sparks this season, but are 1-1 ATS. Phoenix is fully healthy and is looking to find better chemistry. -3.5 against a lowly Sparks team at home could be right where the Mercury pick up some steam ahead of what they hope to be a long playoff battle.
