www.oddsshark.com/mlb/mlb-betting-al-nl-mvp-award-oddsAMERICAN LEAGUE MVP ODDS Jose Altuve has separated himself from both Josh Donaldson and Mike Trout at the top of the AL MVP odds list as he continues to mash the baseball at an unprecedented level in today’s game. Altuve’s batting average now sits at a ridiculous .360 – 48 points higher than his career mark. He has also pounded 19 home runs, an incredible number for a man of Altuve’s 5’6” stature. Josh Donaldson, the defending AL MVP, continues to rack up numbers with the Blue Jays and currently sits third in WAR. The third basemen set a historic pace prior to the all-star break and will need to continue that trend if he has any hope of repeating as MVP. I do, however, love his odds at the 5/1 number offered by Bovada. Although he leads the league in WAR Trout’s offense has cooled significantly and he will have to have a ridiculous hot streak to regain ground in the MVP race. Playing for the bottom-feeding LA Angels does not help the center fielder’s odds as team success seemed to be what pushed Donaldson ahead of Trout in last year’s AL MVP race. The Red Sox still have three players with their hats in the ring with the young Mookie Betts having the best odds to take home the hardware at +900. David Ortiz and Xander Bogaerts both trail Betts at +1000 but all three are well behind the lead pack of Altuve, Trout and Donaldson. Odds as of August 3 at Bovada Jose Altuve (HOU) +150 Mike Trout (LAA) +300 Josh Donaldson (TOR) +500 Manny Machado (BAL) +700 Mookie Betts (BOS) +900 Robinson Cano (SEA) +1000 David Ortiz (BOS) +1000 Xander Bogaerts (BOS) +1000

They like giving it to the overachiever, sorta like Pedroia, just much better numbers |

Mookie Betts absolutely has to be the MVP front runner right now. The Astros on getting into the playoffs. No way has L2 vase season but not good that he's going to win MVP away from guys who have put up equal numbers on playoff teams.

Toronto is nowhere near the postseason without Donaldson If you factor in the Tulo and Batista injuries, they would be in a lotta trouble But I have no problem with any of the 3 to be honest, Mookie is my boy |

Youre discounting Donaldson sir Its probably a two person race with mookie and donaldson But Trout is still the best |

Altuve and Trout and have much better years. |

The thing with Betts is that his numbers in July and August keep improving. You can make a case for him, if they don't have him in the lineup, they might be a little lower in the standings.

If we are talking who will win vs who should win..it will probably be Donaldson.
He will end up with the most homers between the candidates. Playing in a 1st place team in a competitive division. Yeah there are plenty of nerds who lean towards the new aged nerdy stats but by in large the writers are a Homerun happy group.

So if I understand this correctly, Jose Altuve is not an MVP candidate because Houston is not a playoff team. Even though they're a game back of the second WC and 2 back of Boston?

Ellsbury should have won the MVP in 2011..but the collapse and just missing the WC probably what robbed him of it Not saying its right..just how it is. Guys can win w/o making the playoffs obviously..but its still a big unfair factor |

Unless he has this collapse in September. |
