The two-time defending champion Las Vegas Aces are even money to make it three in a row ahead of what sportsbooks say will be the most heavily bet WNBA season ever.
The Aces are even-money title favorites at ESPN BET and sportsbooks around the nation. They’re followed by the New York Liberty (+245), and the Seattle Storm (+900) have the third-shortest championship odds.
The Aces’ A’ja Wilson (+110) is the betting favorite to win the regular-season MVP, followed by the Liberty’s Breanna Stewart (+650) and Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark (+900).
The arrival of Clark has fueled lopsided betting on the long-shot Fever and a significant year-over-year spike of interest on the WNBA overall at sportsbooks. Caesars Sportsbook reported a 385% year-over-year increase in the number of preseason bets placed on the WNBA. A lot of those bets have Clark and the Fever. Only the Aces have attracted more bets to win the title than the Fever at Caesars.
