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. During his MVP last season in 2024, Judge got off to a slow start, but that has not been the case in 2025 as he is hitting .409 with a 1.274 OPS and 14 home runs.
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. To start the 2025 season, Witt Jr. boasts a .898 OPS with a 147 wRC+.
Alex Bregman (BOS Red Sox): Bregman was one of the last big free agent names off the market, and he has proven to be an excellent decision for the Red Sox. Since taking over as the Red Sox third baseman, Bregman is hitting .311 with a .951 OPS, 163 wRC+, and nine home runs.

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. Unsurprisingly, Ohtani has started the 2025 season strong at the dish with a .308 batting average and 186 wRC+.
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. Well, so far, the player we saw in the postseason in 2024 has carried over into this season as he is hitting .320 with a .939 OPS and 163 wRC+.
Kyle Tucker (CHI Cubs): Over the past few seasons, Kyle Tucker proved he was a legitimate candidate to win MVP. Well, after a few years of chasing the award in the AL, Tucker is now in pursuit of it in the NL after being acquired by the Cubs this offseason. While Chicago traded some exciting future pieces, Tucker has proven to be worth it. As the season enters the middle of May, the smooth swinging lefty has managed a 152 wRC+ and .910 OPS.

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.
