American League Favorites
Mookie Betts place his stamp on being among the greatest players in baseball (some would assert he is THE best) by winning the American League MVP award in 2018. Betts struck .346 with 32 home runs and 80 RBIs to take the honors. He opens at No. 2 on the oddsboard with +550 odds to repeat. Miguel Cabrera (2012-13) and Frank Thomas (1993-94) are the only players to go back to back since Roger Maris in 1960 and 1961.
Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is next on the list at +700 chances. Like Betts last year, Judge will probably confront the debate that he’s not the only MVP-caliber participant in an insanely powerful Yankees lineup. Of course, it also remains to be seen when Judge can remain healthy for the complete season. The 26-year-old in California played just 112 games this past year. Judge is a career .273 hitter who is hitting a home run every 12.5 at-bats. My biggest difficulty with Judge is that he strikes every 2.5 at-bats.
Alex Bregman is fourth on the list in +900. Bregman was as good as anyone in MLB from June through the end of the season last year. Like most of the Astros, he had a little World Series hangover at the beginning of the season and had worked himself into MVP talks by September.
