2019 American League MVP Odds

Top Contenders

• [Oct 3] Trout remains the odds-on favorite despite missing the final portion of the season; sportsbooks are giving Bregman a fighting chance, though.
• [Sept 2] Trout is still in clear control of the award, sporting -1000 odds
• [August 23] If not for Mike Trout, Boston’s Rafael Devers would be the talk of the American League. But not even a 20-for-37 streak with 12 extra-base hits could bring him within a country mile of Trout.
• [August 2] Trout’s AL MVP odds have reached a season-best -1000; DJ LeMahieu is the closest competitor at +800 odds
• [July 9] Trout is still the odds-on favorite to win AL MVP, but JD Martinez is picking up steam. His odds have improved from +10000 to +3300 over the past seven days.
• [March 4] Mookie Betts has finished in the top six in AL MVP voting in each of the last three seasons, and finally won the award in 2018 after leading the league in batting average and slugging percentage while also supplying his regular Gold Glove-level defense in right field.

2019 National League MVP Odds

Top Contenders

• [Oct 2] A sluggish finish brought Bellinger (-200) back to the pack a little. Yelich (+175) is still considered a potential winner despite missing the last month of the year.
• [Sept 2] Bellinger’s NL MVP odds are the shortest they’ve been all season, as he’s listed at -325
• [August 23] The Dodgers’ Cody Bellinger has become even bigger chalk, thanks in part to Yelich missing big chunks for time with back problems.
• [August 2] Despite currently having more home runs as well as a better AVG, SLG, and OPS, Christian Yelich still trails Cody Bellinger in odds to win the NL MVP.
• [July 9] NL hit king Ketel Marte has most valuable player odds for the first time all season. Is he a bona fide MVP candidate at +1800?
• [March 4] The Phillies are banking on Harper rediscovering his MVP form from 2015. The Las Vegas native blasted a career-high 42 home runs that season and led the league in homers, runs, on base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS, and OPS+.
