The WNBA season is just past its midpoint, and MVP odds are on the move.
At BetMGM, Las Vegas star A’ja Wilson opened as the betting favorite at +175 to win the award. By late May, those odds had shortened to +100.
But now?
Now, the Aces superstar is a massive favorite to win the award, as she is averaging 27.2 points and 11.9 rebounds per game.
Let’s dive into the odds at BetMGM as of July 18.
WNBA MVP ODDS:
A’ja Wilson, Aces: -5000 (bet $10 to win $10.20 total)
Alyssa Thomas, Sun: +8000 (bet $10 to win $810 total)
Sabrina Ionescu, Liberty: +8000 (bet $10 to win $810 total)
Caitlin Clark, Fever: +9000 (bet $10 to win $910 total)
Breanna Stewart, Liberty: +12500 (bet $10 to win $1,260 total)
Despite Wilson essentially already securing the award in oddsmakers’ eyes, on a recent episode of “The Herd,” Colin Cowherd explained the impact Caitlin Clark has had so far on the league.
“If you want to see the Caitlin Clark effect, here it is,” he said. “Bad team, small market, and [Indiana is] worth more than the Los Angeles Sparks, the Dallas, Atlanta and Washington teams, and almost equal to a team in Chicago.
“Caitlin Clark, to some degree, is saving the WNBA. … It’s an incredibly harsh reality.”
Clark is averaging 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game.
