We’re about a week away from the start of the MLB postseason, and the MVP races are effectively over.

In the AL, Aaron Judge is the odds-on favorite at -4000. At the beginning of August, he was -900 to win the award.

The Bronx Bomber has hit for .323 with 138 RBI and 55 home runs.

Complementing his extraordinary year, Judge recently became the fastest player to 300 home runs. On August 25, he hit his 50th homer for the New York Yankees in the 2024 season.

As of Sept. 22, Judge has hit 55 home runs on the season.

Yankees’ Aaron Judge hits 300th home run: is he the frontrunner for AL MVP?

Let’s check out the AL MVP odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of Sept. 23.

American League MVP Odds

Aaron Judge, New York Yankees: -4000 (bet $10 to win $10.25 total)

Bobby Witt Jr., Kansas City Royals: +1100 (bet $10 to win $120 total)

Juan Soto, New York Yankees: +5000 (bet $10 to win $510 total)

Gunnar Henderson, Baltimore Orioles: +5000 (bet $10 to win $510 total)

Shohei Ohtani founds 50/50 club, Is he the greatest baseball player ever?

In the NL, Shohei Ohtani will likely be named MVP. However, at most books, that market is off the board.

Let’s take a look at the lines as of Sept. 16 at DraftKings before sportsbooks closed NL MVP betting.

National League MVP Odds:

Shohei Ohtani, Los Angeles Dodgers: -2500 (bet $10 to win $10.40 total)

Francisco Lindor, New York Mets: +900 (bet $10 to win $100 total)

Marcell Ozuna, Atlanta Braves: +7500 (bet $10 to win $760 total)

Bryce Harper, Philadelphia Phillies: +10000 (bet $10 to win $1,010 total)

Ketel Marte, Arizona Diamondbacks: +10000 (bet $10 to win $1,010 total)

The Dodgers’ megastar has a .301 batting average, 53 homers and 123 RBI. On August 3, he became the first player this season to join the 30/30 club when he notched three steals against the Oakland A’s.

He is the third-fastest player in MLB history to reach that milestone, when factoring number of games played.

Eric Davis reached the mark in 90 games in 1987 and Alex Rodriguez accomplished the feat in 107 games in 1998.

In an even more extraordinary turn of events, Ohtani made more history on Sept. 19.

He became the first MLB player to post a 50/50 season. And this season will mark the first time the two-way extraordinaire has ever scratched the MLB postseason.
