Aaron Judge (NY Yankees): Coming off a season in which he secured his second MVP award, Aaron Judge returns this season looking to offset his struggles in the World Series. Judge has proven he can lead the Yankees during the regular season, and he will have even more pressure on him this season with Juan Soto no longer on the team. Health remains of the utmost importance for the Yankees captain, as he's won two MVPs and hit 52+ home runs in the three seasons he's played at least 155 games.

Bobby Witt Jr. (KC Royals): In three MLB seasons, Bobby Witt has finished 7th or higher in MVP voting in two of them, as he finished second behind Judge last year. The Royals young superstar may just be scratching the surface of his potential, and if that's the case, the league could be in trouble, as Witt hit .332 with 32 home runs and 31 stolen bases last season.

Yordan Alvarez (HOU Astros): If the Astros are going to continue their high level of success, it is going to fall on Yordan Alvarez. Houston traded away Kyle Tucker this off-season, and whether Alex Bregman returns is still up in the air. With that, Alvarez will need to have an MVP-type season to keep the Astros' offense at an above-league-average level.

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 expected to start pitching again at some point in the year.

Juan Soto (NY Mets): In the biggest free agency decision of the off-season, Juan Soto decided to head across the bridge and trade in his pinstripes. After reaching the World Series with the Yankees, Soto will look to lead another NY franchise to the promised land this season. While he won't have an MVP hitting behind him this season, Soto should still be able to produce elite numbers in 2025, as he .288 with a career-high 41 home runs while driving in 109 RBIs.

Fernando Tatis Jr. (SD Padres): Tatis Jr. was on the fast track to being the face of baseball, and while that was derailed, he produced a great season in 2024. In 102 games, Tatis Jr. hit .276 with a .833 OPS and 21 home runs. If he can stay healthy this season, those numbers should certainly spike in 2025, especially if he can tap into the player he was during the playoffs.

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.
