With Major League Baseball’s first full day of regular season games less than 24 hours away, it’s time to get your futures bets in for 2024.
Let’s take a look at the Most Valuable Player odds in both the American and National League, where most major sportsbooks are largely aligned.
A pair of Yankees can be found at the top of the odds board in the AL, while a young superstar outfielder is looking to repeat in the NL.
2024 AL MVP odds
| Player | Odds |
|---|---|
| Aaron Judge | +550 |
| Juan Soto | +600 |
| Julio Rodriguez | +1000 |
| Corey Seager | +1000 |
| Yordan Alvarez | 11/1 |
| Adley Rutschman | 16/1 |
| Bobby Witt Jr. | 16/1 |
| Gunnar Henderson | 18/1 |
| Kyle Tucker | 18/1 |
| Vladimir Guerrero Jr. | 18/1 |
With Shohei Ohtani in the Senior Circuit, Aaron Judge is now the de-facto MVP favorite in the AL.
After winning the 2022 AL MVP unanimously, Judge finished outside of the top 10 in the 2023 voting after playing in just 106 games thanks to a toe injury.
Judge is trailed by new teammate Juan Soto, who has finished top 10 in the NL MVP four times but has yet to take home the hardware.
A trio of AL West players – Rangers shortstop Corey Seager, Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez and Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez – round out the top five of BetMGM’s odds board.
| Player | Odds |
|---|---|
| Ronald Acuna Jr. | +525 |
| Mookie Betts | +600 |
| Shohei Ohtani | +900 |
| Fernando Tatis Jr. | +1000 |
| Freddie Freeman | 11/1 |
| Bryce Harper | 12/1 |
| Matt Olson | 14/1 |
| Corbin Carroll | 20/1 |
| Trea Turner | 22/1 |
| Francisco Lindor | 25/1 |
In the NL, sddsmakers have made it clear: The award is Ronald Acuna Jr.’s to lose.
Acuna is looking to become the first player to win two straight NL MVP awards since Albert Pujols in 2008-09.
He’ll have plenty of competition out west.
