Washington Mystics at Chicago Sky odds, picks and predictions

The Washington Mystics (8-22) and Chicago Sky (11-18) meet Wednesday at Wintrust Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mystics vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.
Season series: Tied 1-1
The Mystics have won their past 2 games, while covering in 3 in a row. Washington is looking for a season-high 3rd consecutive victory. The Under has cashed in the past 3 outings, too.
Although the Sky have dropped 3 in a row, Chicago is a solid 3-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 4 outings. The Under and Over have alternated in each of the past 9 games dating back to July 10.
Chicago rookie Angel Reese has been unreal lately, posting 20 or more rebounds in 3 consecutive outings. She is the 1st player in WNBA history to record 20 or more rebounds in 3 straight games. She had a career-best 22 boards against Las Vegas last time out, and she is averaging a ridiculous 14.3 points, 20.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocked shots per game in the past 3 outings.
This is the 1st meeting in Chicago. The Sky won the 1st meeting in D.C. on June 6, a 79-71 win as a 3-point favorite, while cashing the Under (156). In the 2nd meeting, Washington edged Chicago 83-81 as a 2.5-point underdog as the Over (158.5) connected.

Mystics 80, Sky 75
While Chicago (+118) has been the better team this season, WASHINGTON (-144) is red-hot lately, and searching for its 3rd consecutive victory.
The Mystics are catching the Sky at the right time, as Chicago has dropped 3 in a row despite the fact Reese has been piling up the rebounds lately. In fact, the Sky have won just twice in the 8 outings since July 11. Back the visitors.
If you’re a little more adventurous, forget about the moneyline and take WASHINGTON -2.5 (-108) on the road.
The Mystics have won 5 of the past 6 meetings, too, while going 4-1 ATS in the past 5 in the series. Washington has covered 3 in a row since Aug. 18, and it is 15-5 ATS in the past 20 games.
On the flip side, while the Sky is 3-1 ATS in the past 4 contests, they’re just 2-5 ATS in the past 7 games at home.
UNDER 158.5 (-110) is worth a look, but go lightly.
The Under has hit in 5 of the past 6 meetings, although the Over hit in the most recent battle on June 14.
The total has gone low in 3 straight for the Mystics, while going 5-2 across the previous 7 games.
