The Aces enter the playoffs with -145 odds to win the WNBA title. Being the odds-on favorite is typically a good thing, but the Aces have seen their odds drop significantly over the course the past month.
Prior to the Commissioner's Cup on Aug. 15, the Aces were -420 favorites to win the championship. Since that game, their cross-country rivals, the New York Liberty, have closed the gap. The Liberty, over that same span, have moved from +320 to +145 as we enter the postseason.
The team to watch out for? According to Mataya, the Dallas Wings could be a sleeper to watch out for in the playoffs. Check out his explanation below.
