Potential <strong>MVP<\/strong> candidates are also starting to emerge in each league, and odds have been updated to reflect these races. Let\u2019s take a look at the updated odds to win the MVP Award in the American League.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mike-trout-angels-300\"><strong>Mike Trout (Angels) +300<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It is no surprise to see <strong>Mike Trout<\/strong> as the favorite to win the 2018 <strong>American League MVP<\/strong> award. Trout is widely considered the best player in this generation, and is putting up numbers that have never been seen before. The Angels superstar has gotten on base at a .461 clip, and also has belted 24 home runs. The Angels might not play a role in the playoff race, but Trout is on pace to have a season that will shatter many records. This award appears to be his to lose at the moment.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mookie-betts-red-sox-350\"><strong>Mookie Betts (Red Sox) +350<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Boston Red Sox<\/strong> are loaded with talent, but <strong>Mookie Betts<\/strong> has been the brightest star in 2018. Betts could quite possibly win the batting title this season in the American League, and has also belted 25 home runs for the Red Sox. Betts is the table setter for the team with the best record in baseball. If the season ended today, he would garner a ton of votes.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"jose-altuve-astros-700\"><strong>Jose Altuve (Astros) +700<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The reigning <strong>MVP<\/strong> in the American League continues to put up eye popping numbers in 2018. The diminutive <strong>Altuve<\/strong> once again leads the <strong>American League<\/strong> in batting average, hitting .342 for the Houston Astros. Altuve has plenty of support in the <strong>Houston<\/strong> lineup, but he continues to be the leader of that team. Altuve has a great shot of winning the award for the second consecutive year.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"aaron-judge-yankees-1000\"><strong>Aaron Judge (Yankees) +1000<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Yankees<\/strong> slugger was the runner up for this award in 2017, but will have another shot at it this season. <strong>Judge<\/strong> leads a deadly Yankees lineup with 21 home runs to go along with his 54 runs batted in. The outfielder has also shown great improvements defensively this season, and appears to be one of the best players in baseball. Judge looks to lead the Yankees to the <strong>World Series<\/strong> this season.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"manny-machado-orioles-1200\"><strong>Manny Machado (Orioles) +1200<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Orioles<\/strong> shortstop has been nothing short of amazing so far in 2018. Machado leads the Orioles in nearly every offensive category, and continues to prove his worth to a playoff team. Machado will almost certainly be traded at the trade deadline, and that team will be getting an <strong>MVP<\/strong> candidate. Machado has all of the tools, and deserves a shot to play for a contending team.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"giancarlo-stanton-yankees-1400\"><strong>Giancarlo Stanton (Yankees) +1400<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The 2017 <strong>National League MVP<\/strong> has struggled a little bit in his first season in the American League. <strong>Stanton<\/strong> has still connected for 19 home runs for the Yankees, but is striking out an alarming rate. If Stanton can return to his 2017 form, the Yankees will be the clear team to beat in the American League, and he will be an MVP contender.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"j-d-martinez-red-sox-1600\"><strong>J.D. Martinez (Red Sox) +1600<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Martinez<\/strong> joined the <strong>Red<\/strong> <strong>Sox<\/strong> this winter as a free agent, and he has been worth every dollar that he is getting paid. Martinez leads the American League with his 25 home runs and 64 runs batted in. The Red Sox outfielder has been the best slugger in baseball since the second half of 2017. Martinez has been overshadowed a bit by the stellar play of Mookie Betts, but he has had a great first half of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Take a look at the betting odds to win the American League Most Valuable Player award.","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2652,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[463],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
