The 2023 ESPY Awards is set to be aired on Wednesday, July 12. Is it always one day after the MLB All Star Game. There are some terrific awards shows that take place throughout the year. But this is an event that features the biggest names and stories in the sports world.
There will be a star-studded cast that shows up to the awards show on Wednesday night. And there will be some terrific trophies handed out. Making your predictions in this awards is now a popular thing to do. And there are some great betting options out there as well.
Here is a look at some of the ESPY Awards odds. And some of the people that might end up taking those awards home.
Best Male Athlete
The ESPYs Awards 2023 are going to hand out some terrific awards, and there are some loaded candidates in most categories. One of the highlights of the show is the award for the best male athlete. And the odds are pretty tight after the betting favorite.
Male Athlete | Odds |
Patrick Mahomes | -150 |
Lionel Messi | +400 |
Aaron Judge | +450 |
Nikola Jokic | +500 |
Patrick Mahomes is the betting favorite for this award at -150, and he is expected to take this award home. Lionel Messi is next on the list at +400, followed by Aaron Judge (+450) and Nikola Jokic (+500)
People that are making ESPY Awards predictions on Wednesday night are going to be looking to pick the winner of this category.
Best Female Athlete
Another of the most popular ESPY Awards predictions to make is in the category of best female athlete. While there is a pretty big betting favorite in the male category. That isn’t the case when it comes to the women’s side of things.
Here are the odds that are currently out for the best female athlete:
Female Athlete | Odds |
Iga Swiatek | +175 |
A’ja Wilson | +225 |
Sophia Smith | +300 |
Mikaela Shiffrin | +425 |
It’s going to be hard to predict many of the ESPYs awards winners, and that will be the case with this category as well. Taking Shiffrin at +425 is going to come with the best payout. But that would also be a pretty big upset, according to the odds.
There aren’t as many big names on the female side as the men’s side of things. But all four of these athletes are still deserving of being considered for this award.
Best Play Odds
There are some very interesting categories or awards handed out at the ESPY Awards 2023, and one of those is the best play of the year. It’s hard to put together the list of nominees for the best play of the year as there are millions of plays that take place in the world of sports.
This is going to be one of the most highly anticipated awards that are handed out every single year. And there are some big names on the list of odds.
Here are the current odds to win the best play odds:
Best Play | Odds |
Justin Jefferson | +175 |
Michael Block | +225 |
Trinity Thomas | +300 |
Ally Lemos | +400 |
The catch by Justin Jefferson is expected to be the winner of this award, and that would make sense since the NFL is clearly the most popular sport. If that play doesn’t win, though, you can expect to see Michael Block and his run at the US Open get some serious consideration.
The other two plays that are being considered for this award are going to be pretty big underdogs on Wednesday night, but there are still betting options available. While there are other unique awards handed out, this category is going to be fun to follow.
