These players include Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels. Keep an eye on these players as their chances improve over the next few weeks.

NL MVP Odds

The National League Most Valuable Player award is an annual honor awarded to one player a year; winners are determined through voting by members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. The current NL MVP contenders are Ronald Acuña Jr. of the Atlanta Braves (overwhelming favorite), Pete Alonso of the New York Mets and Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

AL Cy Young Odds

Shane McClanahan, a top-tier pitcher of the Tampa Bay Rays is this season’s front-runner for the American League Cy Young Award. He’s up against Gerrit Cole of the New York Yankees, Shohei Ohtani, Joe Ryan of the Minnesota Twins and Kevin Gausman of the Toronto Blue Jays, which are all amazingly skilled MLB pitchers. .

NL Cy Young Odds

There are a few NL Cy Young candidates that could win the award this year. Some of the favorites include the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Zac Gallen, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw,  the Pittsburgh Pirates’ Mitch Keller and the Chicago Cubs’ Justin Steele.

Spencer Strider is the current favorite and he’s been one of the best pitchers in baseball this year. If he can keep up this performance, he’s almost a lock to win the NL Cy Young award.
