Aaron Judge (NY Yankees): During his MVP season in 2024, Judge got off to a slow start, but that was not the case in 2025 as he was hitting over .400 entering June. While Judge is no longer over the .400 mark, he is still hitting .325 with a 1.121 OPS, 49 home runs, and 105 RBIs. An IL stint due to a flexor strain caused Judge's odds in this market to slip a bit, but since his return, he has remained in a heated battle with Raleigh for the award, while also trying to lead his team to a division title over the Blue Jays.
Cal Raleigh (SEA Mariners): The American League home run leader is not the reigning MVP; it is actually the Seattle Mariners' backstop. In a career high 154 games, Cal Raleigh has blasted 58 home runs and driven in 121 RBIs, while boasting a 160 wRC+. Raleigh's overall hitting statistics have dropped off slightly compared to the first half of the season, but in September, he has a 1.034 OPS and a .355 ISO, which has helped the Mariners climb into first place in the AL West.

Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers): Taking away the MVP award from Shohei Ohtani is going to be a challenge for any NL player for the foreseeable future. In his first season with the Dodgers, Ohtani became the first-ever player to join the 50-50 club, and to make matters even better for his chances this season, he is back on the mound as well. Unsurprisingly, Ohtani has been dominant at the dish again this season, hitting .282 with 53 home runs and a 171 wRC+. While his numbers on the mound have not been as dominant, Ohtani has once again made history with another 50-50 season that includes 50 home runs and 50 strikeouts.
Kyle Schwarber (PHI Phillies): Kyle Schwarber has made himself a lot of money this season. In a contract year, the Phillies slugger has launched 54 home runs and picked up 130 RBIs. In his age-32 season, Schwarber is also on pace for a new career high in wRC+, wOBA, and WAR, which has helped the Phillies stay in pursuit of the #1 seed in the National League.
Juan Soto (NY Mets): In one of the most talked-about offseason moves, Juan Soto traded in his pinstripes for a Mets jersey. While the young superstar would have the second-lowest batting average of his career if the season ended today, he has made up for it in other areas. Not only has he reached 42 home runs and 104 RBIs, but he has also stolen a career-high 36 bases, which is 24 more than his previous career high.

MLB MVP Betting Trends & Notes
Outside of Barry Bonds, who has seven, no player has won more than three MVPs in their career. Shohei Ohtani does have the chance to surpass three if he wins one more in his career.
The New York Yankees have produced the most MVP winners, with 22 in the franchise's history, including Aaron Judge in 2024.
The last player to win consecutive MVP awards in their respective league was Miguel Cabrera, who won in 2012 and 2013. Shohei Ohtani won consecutive MVPs in 2023 and 2024, but won one in each league.
In the franchise's history, the Kansas City Royals have only had one MVP winner, George Brett. That could change soon, as Bobby Witt Jr. came in second in MVP voting in 2024.
