NWSL MVP Tracker: Rodman is in the top 10, but can she catch Banda and Chawinga?

With the NWSL regular season winding down, the race for the MVP award is heating up.

Currently, the top three candidates are Ifeoma Onumonu, Rachel Daly, and Bethany Balcer. Onumonu is the leading scorer in the league with 16 goals, while Daly has 12 goals and 7 assists. Balcer has 11 goals and 6 assists.

However, there is another player who is making a late push for the award: Mallory Pugh. Pugh has been on fire lately, scoring 5 goals in her last 4 games. She now has 9 goals and 5 assists on the season.

If Pugh can continue her hot streak, she could make a serious run at the MVP award.

Here is a look at the top 10 candidates for the NWSL MVP award, according to the latest odds from DraftKings Sportsbook:

1. Ifeoma Onumonu (+150)
2. Rachel Daly (+220)
3. Bethany Balcer (+250)
4. Mallory Pugh (+300)
5. Trinity Rodman (+450)
6. Ashley Hatch (+600)
7. Sophia Smith (+700)
8. Rose Lavelle (+800)
9. Kristie Mewis (+1000)
10. Sam Kerr (+1200)

Rodman is a long shot to win the MVP award, but she has been one of the most impressive players in the league this season. The 19-year-old has scored 8 goals and added 3 assists in 19 games.

If Rodman can continue to produce at a high level, she could make a run at the top 3. However, she will need to catch Banda and Chawinga, who have been two of the most dominant players in the league this season.
