"Aaron Judge has opened as the favorite to repeat as AL MVP in 2025 after an excellent season, posting an average of .355 and 35 home runs at the All-Star break."
"Cal Raleigh has significantly closed the gap in MVP odds, moving from 100-1 to +325, making him a strong contender following an impressive breakout season."
"Judge's short odds throughout the season, peaking at -1,000, limited bettor interest despite his stellar performance, whereas Raleigh's rising odds attracted significant early bettors."
"Raleigh’s 33% share of the AL MVP handle represents BetMGM's largest liability, and his engaging persona could further enhance his MVP narrative."
