* odds as of 3/27/2024

Shohei Ohtani (大谷翔平) or Ronald Acuña Jr.: Who will be the top player for 2024?

Last season, Ohtani very memorably earned unanimous AL MVP honors as the Angels’ — and all of baseball’s — most popular, two-way player.

Behind him in the voting were Texas’ Seager and Marcus Semien.

Ohtani famously signed with the Dodgers in the offseason, and now his odds to win the 2024 MVP are fourth on the oddsboard at +950 — but this time, on the NL side.

Speaking of the NL, last year’s MVP from the National League was Acuna.

Like Ohtani, the Braves right-fielder got the unanimous vote. Behind Acuna were Ohtani’s new Dodgers teammates Betts and Freeman.

When it comes to the MVP races, according to FOX Sports MLB analyst Ben Verlander, Seager could make a push in the AL.

“Am I excited for a full season of Corey Seager. His numbers from last year are video game numbers. In 119 games — listen to these numbers: .327, with 33 homers, 96 RBIs, an OPS over 1.000 and 42 doubles … oh, and a World Series champion.

“Give me 150 plus games this year, and watch what these numbers turn into.”
