Despite his continued stellar performance, Guerrero remains in an uphill battle on the odds to win the AL MVP award against Shohei Ohtani, who leads the way as the heavy -3000 favourite at sports betting sites. That’s not to say I don’t think Tatis is an elite player. He’ll likely win an MVP at some point. I just don’t think it will be this year on a third-place team when he has missed 20-plus games and has 20-plus errors at shortstop. Entering Wednesday, the Padres were just 1 ¹/₂ games ahead of the Reds for the second wild card. The Padres’ odds to make the playoffs are Yes -132/No 106 at FanDuel this week. I just don’t see how Tatis should be -300. If I were booking this market, I’d lower the number and write more bets on Tatis. We're still mired in a lockout awaiting resolution on a new collective bargaining agreement between Major nets over under League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association, but that doesn't mean we can't look at the early MLB MVP race. People like winners. People back winners. Both of last season8217;s MVPs 8211; Milwaukee8217;s Christian Yelich (NL) and Boston8217;s Mookie Betts (AL) 8211; played for playoff teams. Eight of the last 10 NL MVPs were on teams that participated in the postseason. The race for the NFL's MVP award appears to be a two-man race between Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers, and it grew a lot closer after Sunday's results.
