Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Aces have been maintaining a solid front-runner status. Starting with opening odds of +130, their current odds have strengthened to -350, indicating a high likelihood of clinching the championship. This positivity has been reflected in their betting trend, capturing 16.9% of tickets and a staggering 55.7% of the handle to lead the league. The Aces are the clear favorites, according to both bettors and oddsmakers.

The New York Liberty has seen a mixed journey thus far. They started the season with odds of +150, which then expanded to +250 last week, and have now further increased to +300. The Liberty’s betting trends depict a similar story, claiming 13.4% of tickets and 11.6% of the handle.

The Washington Mystics face an uphill battle. The team’s opening odds were relatively low at +1200 but dramatically ballooned to +5000. Bettors are showing concern, as the Mystics hold only 13.0% of tickets and a meager 7.4% of the handle.

The Phoenix Mercury is another team with the odds stacked heavily against them. The Mercury started with odds of +2500, skyrocketing to a staggering +50000. Despite these daunting odds, the Mercury still accounts for 10.3% of tickets and 6.0% of the handle, proving some bettors got on this train early and are throwing a flier at the outlandish odds.
