Phoenix Mercury vs New York Liberty Prediction

I have no idea which Phoenix Mercury team is going to show up from Game to Game. We do know the Mercury will have a great crowd as the Liberty are in town and this is just their second home Game since July 11. The New York Liberty are coming off a bad loss to the Sun. With all that said, the Liberty are the more consistent team, and they’ve lost back to back Games just once this season. I could see the Mercury playing up to their comPetition and winning outright, but it’s easier to trust the Liberty. I’ll lay the points.
