00:00Here are the odds to win a WNBA championship.

00:02The Liberty, the reigning champs, the favorites at plus 170.

00:05The best team in the league, though, the only team with 20 wins.

00:09That's the Minnesota Lynx at 2-1.

00:11Of course, these two teams battled it out in an awesome five-game set that saw overtime

00:16and that decisive winner-take-all game five last year.

00:21The Liberty edging out the Lynx to win that WNBA title.

00:25J-Y, I ask you the question like this, as we see the Mercury behind the Indiana Fever,

00:30not all that far behind either at plus 750.

00:33What is more likely, a championship rematch between the Liberty and the Lynx

00:37or another team entering the fold in the WNBA finals?

00:42I'm going to take a stab with the Phoenix Mercury making the WNBA finals.

00:46When you look at the play of Alyssa Thomas, now really regarded as a,

00:51rightfully soaring, top three, top four player in the world,

00:54getting obviously Satu Sable as well as a free agent to go along with the

00:58walking bucket, Kalia Copper.

01:00And then getting DeWana Bonner, who's going to be motivated.

01:03She did play at Phoenix.

01:04Her fiancé, Alyssa Thomas, is there.

01:05So they're going to be good.

01:06That's going to be an interesting thing.

01:08Also, you've got to look at the fact that they have the easiest strength of

01:11schedule, Ben, the rest of the way.

01:13What's key with the Liberty and the Mercury, the number is four.

01:16They have to play each other, I do believe, four times the rest of the way.

01:21Liberty has one of the easiest schedules as well, third easiest schedule,

01:2323 games left to play.

01:26We'll see when John Quill Jones gets back.

01:28If John Quill Jones is healthy, they're the best team in the WNBA,

01:32in my opinion, because also getting that addition of Natasha Cloud,

01:35Leon Afibic in her second year, they should be much better.
