AL Rookie of the Year Odds Movement Timeline
- June 7 – Kevin McGonigle moves to the top of the AL ROY market as the odds-on favorite (-107 average price). Munetaka Murakami (+470), Travis Bazzana (+570), and Samuel Basallo (+660) form the second tier behind McGonigle, with all three still priced short enough to be considered primary challengers.
- May 11 – White Sox 1B Munetaka Murakami has become the +188 favorite, on average, followed closely by Tiger SS/3B Kevin McGonigle (+210).
- February 24 – Yesavage has faded a little as we approach opening day, but his AL ROY have only slid to +370. He’s now being chased by a trio of players at +600: new teammate Kazuma Okamoto, the White Sox’s Munetaka Murakami, and the Royals’ Carter Jensen
- December 3 – Fresh off a fantastic debut in the 2025 MLB Playoffs, the Blue Jays’ Trey Yesavage (+190) has opened as a big favorite to win the AL Rookie of the Year award in 2026. Just behind him on the odds table are Tigers shortstop Kevin McGonigle (+550) and Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo (+700).

NL Rookie of the Year Odds
JJ Wetherholt is commanding the market as the NL favorite, sitting at +130 on average. But the race is tighter at the top than a one-name board: Sal Stewart is close behind at +200, while Nolan McLean (+460) and Konnor Griffin (+700) round out the next tier of legitimate challengers.
Beyond the top two, the implied probabilities drop sharply. Ryan Waldschmidt is a consensus +4000, Carson Benge averages +4500 with a range from +4000 to +5500, and Logan Henderson sits around +5000. Moises Ballesteros carries notable bookmaker disagreement, ranging from +3500 at Caesars to +6600 at BetMGM, while TJ Rumfield and AJ Ewing profile as deeper speculative options in the +5750 to +6033 average range.
