New York Liberty Face Uphill Battle Defending WNBA Title
The New York Liberty, reigning WNBA champions, face an uphill battle in defending their title. They've lost more players than they've gained during the offseason, which could impact their chances. Meanwhile, bookmakers have installed them as favorites to win the 2025 championship with +225 odds.
Five teams have emerged as strong contenders, with odds under +1000. The Indiana Fever, despite losing key players, have confident odds at +250. The Minnesota Lynx and Phoenix Mercury, both with odds of 400 and 800 respectively, round out the top five. However, no public odds for teams under +1000 were found for the 2025 championship.
The Las Vegas Aces, who lost Kelsey Plum, may have their odds set too high at 300. This could present an opportunity for bettors, as their chances might be undervalued.
The WNBA championship race is heating up, with the Liberty, Fever, Lynx, Mercury, and Aces leading the pack. The Liberty's offseason moves could affect their title defense, while the Fever's confidence and the Aces' potential undervaluation make for an intriguing 2025 season.
