Who wins?
Like I did on the first page, I’ll remind you again that this is a betting column. If I was simply predicting who I think would win the championship, I would pick the Lynx. Taking the odds into account, however, picking them simply doesn’t give enough value. If I was putting down my money, I would have to go with Washington and Seattle. The Mystics are more equipped to win right now, and with +600 odds, its worth taking a shot on them despite some of the questions surrounding them. The Storm would need a few things to go their way in terms of lucky breaks, but being able to win $1000 on a $100 bet is far too tempting to turn down.
