*Odds as of July 28, 2025
Current Favorites
Cal Raleigh (SEA Mariners): The American League home run leader is not the reigning MVP; it is actually the Seattle Mariners' backstop. In 103 games, Cal Raleigh has already blasted 41 home runs and driven in 86 RBIs, while boasting a 171 wRC+. While it seemed like those numbers would still not be enough to overtake Judge on the odds board, an injury to the Yankees captain has allowed Raleigh to become the new favorite.
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 .342 with a 1.160 OPS, 37 home runs, and 88 RBIs. For as good as those numbers are, a flexor strain has caused Judge to be placed on the 10-day IL, and in turn has caused him to slip into second on the odds board.
Tarik Skubal (DET Tigers): You would have to go back to 2014 for the last time a full-time pitcher won the MVP award. The AL race certainly seems like it will be a battle between Raleigh and Judge down the stretch, but Tarik Skubal is certainly doing everything he can to stay in the race. In 21 starts, the Tigers' ace has a 10-3 record, accompanied by 171 strikeouts, a 2.09 ERA, a 1.92 FIP, and a 2.38 SIERA.

Odds as of July 28, 2025
Current Favorites
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 started the 2025 season strong at the dish with a .275 batting average, 38 home runs, and 170 wRC+.
Pete Crow-Armstrong (CHI Cubs): Athleticism and defensive ability were never a problem for the Cubs' young center-fielder. The ultimate question with Crow-Armstrong was whether his bat would ever come around, and so far this season, that answer has been a resounding yes. Crow-Armstrong is not only hitting .269 with a 137 wRC+, but he has also recorded 27 home runs and 29 stolen bases.
Kyle Schwarber (PHI Phillies): Kyle Schwarber has made himself a lot of money this season. In a contract year, the Phillies slugger has launched 36 home runs and picked up 84 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 a contested race in the NL East.

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.
