Phoenix Mercury (+300)

Our first surprise on the odds table is right here. Though the Mercury made the semifinals last season, that shouldn’t distract you that they trudged to a 16-18 record in the regular season. Vegas clearly thinks that Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner are enough to make this team a legit contender, but its worth noting that in the WNBA General Manager voting the Mercury didn’t finish in the top four of teams other GM’s thought would win the championship. The team did finished in the top three in effective field goal percentage, true shooting percentage and offensive pace, but clearly this team’s title window is closing.
