Update MLB MVP Odds and Two Great Longshot Picks
Matt Dominique | May 6, 2025
About 1/5 of the season is in the books and there are surprises all over the place. The Mets and Cubs are dominating their divisions in the National League and the Tigers, Mariners and A’s are surprisingly good in the AL.
Of course, the season is a long one and there are well over 100 games left to be played. Much of what you see right now will no longer exist come September.
This may be a good time to bet some player award props however. There are some great deals on the board. Young phenom Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Cubs is a standout player that still has long odds that pay out well. PCA, as he is affectionately called, is +5500 at BetUS.com to win NL MVP despite hitting 9 home runs, 26 RBI and a .271 batting average. He is on pace to hit for 45 longballs this year.
Pundits and bettors alike have already crowned Aaron Judge MVP in the AL. At -1100 odds to win the award, the next closest players is Bobby Witt Jr at +1000. Judge is hitting an outlandish .414 batting average and has 11 dingers on the year. He has also driven in 33 runs and is on pace to break his own personal best 133 RBI from last season.
Longshot Picks
We are throwing a hundo on PCA with the Cubs at +5500 and we are doing the same for Kyle Schwarber with the Phillies at +8000 via BetOnline.ag. Schwarber has a 40-game on-base streak and has hit for 11 home runs already.
