Updated MLB MVP Odds: Aaron Judge, Paul Goldschmidt Extend Early Leads

Jun 28, 2022 - 12:21 PM

MLB futures bets offer some of the highest payouts but also present a significant risk because of the length of the season. Hot streaks, cold streaks, injuries, and team performance all play a factor, and MLB futures bets are typically a rollercoaster.

In the American League, Aaron Judge maintains his early MVP lead. After appearing as EVEN on the BettingPros Consensus odds last week, he’s now down to a -118 consensus. He’s still EVEN at FanDuel Sportsbook, but DraftKings Sportsbook has moved him down to -130. Shohei Ohtani closed the gap somewhat thanks to a strong week, and he has moved down from a +500 consensus to +350. But the AL is Judge’s race to lose right now.

Paul Goldschmidt moved from +175 BettingPros Consensus down to +140 this week. Injuries to Manny Machado and Mookie Betts have shrunk the field somewhat, but it’s unclear how much time Machado, who has not been placed on the injured list, will miss. Pete Alonso is also in the mix at +500.

Let’s take a look at the current 2022 MLB MVP Odds across the various sportsbooks.

What are Player Futures?

Player futures refer to any player-based wager for a future event or a result. These bets often do not pay out until weeks or even months from when they are originally placed. Most player futures are built around a specific statistic, where bettors determine whether that player will come in above or below the oddsmakers’ total. They often open with odds at -110 but are adjusted based on where the majority of bets are placed.
