Minnesota Lynx vs Connecticut Sun Prediction

I think highly of the Connecticut Sun and wouldn’t be surprised if they steal one of these first two Games. The Sun have won 6 of the last 8 Games against the Lynx. The problem is, the Suns are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 Games as an underdog. The Lynx are the hottest team in the field with just 2 losses since July 17 and their offense is on another level right now. I’m not excited to step in front of the Lynx as long as the line is reasonable. I’ll lay the somewhat soft number with the Lynx in Game 1.
