Liberty Remain Betting Favorites to Begin Second Half of WNBA Season
Now that the All-Star break has come and gone, the second half of the WNBA’s regular season gets underway on Tuesday. The focus will soon shift to the playoff picture for the final months of the 2025 campaign.
The Minnesota Lynx might stand alone atop the latest WNBA standings, but the New York Liberty remain the betting favorites to win this year’s championship at the BetMGM online sportsbook. The Liberty defeated the Lynx in last year’s WNBA Finals for their first title.
New York is now trading at +140 to win the championship, translating to an implied probability of 41.67% to go back-to-back. The Liberty, who started with a +200 value when the market opened, have received 9.6% of all championship bets and 11% of the handle at BetMGM.
The Liberty began the year with a 9-0 record, which was tied for the fourth-best undefeated start in WNBA history. They have gone 6-6 since then, a stretch that coincides with Jonquel Jones being sidelined with an injury. Jones is expected to return after the break.
Minnesota also started 9-0 this year and has maintained that momentum. The Lynx are 20-4 coming out of the break, which includes a 12-0 clip at home. They have gone from +400 to +200 (33.33% implied probability) in the WNBA championship odds market, receiving 14% of bets and 11.4% of the handle.
The biggest risers in this market have been the Phoenix Mercury, who are now +600 to win it all after starting with a +4000 price tag. They are currently the No. 3 seed in the updated WNBA playoff picture.
Despite a 12-11 record at the break, the Indiana Fever are the only other team listed better than 20/1 to claim the title. They are +700 due to the betting action, having received 41.3% of bets and 59.6% of the handle.
The Las Vegas Aces (+2000), Seattle Storm (+2000), and Atlanta Dream (+2200) round out the teams better than 80/1. Las Vegas opened at +400, while Seattle started at +900. Atlanta has climbed from its starting price tag of +4000.
