The cool breeze in the air means a few things, including the Fall Classic. With the World Series underway, MLB bettors can place futures on the series MVP. While some futures markets like exactas, seeding, and outright winners have been on the board for most of the season, one market that is always late to hit the boards is the World Series MVP.
This market can provide a lot of value when betting early or when taking chances throughout the series, but it can also bring a lot of risk. Down below, we'll keep bettors updated on all odds movements from the start of the postseason until the final World Series game.

*odds as of October 30, 2024
Freddie Freeman (Los Angeles Dodgers): Having a hero-esque moment can go a long way in winning the World Series MVP. Well, Freeman got his moment in game one, hitting a walk-off grand slam off Nestor Cortes. The Dodgers were down to their final out of the game, and after the Yankees decided to intentionally walk Mookie Betts to get to Freeman, it only took him one pitch to make them regret that decision. Freeman followed up his game one heroics with home runs in games two, three, and four, as the Dodgers would have to lose the series at this point for Freeman not to take home this award.
Anthony Volpe (New York Yankees): Through the first three games, Volpe was having a quiet series, and after a base running error in game four, this award seemed like a pipe dream for the young shortstop. However, Volpe would get the chance to redeem himself, and he capitalized by hitting a grand slam that changed all the momentum in the game and possibly the series.
Giancarlo Stanton (New York Yankees): The Yankees offense had been practically nonexistent prior to game four, but one of the only players to have success has been Stanton. In four games, Stanton is 4-17 with two extra-base hits and three RBIs. New York needs a miracle to complete a comeback in this series, and if they are able to do it, Stanton and his power will likely play a big factor.
