Shohei Ohtani (大谷 翔平, Ōtani Shōhei, born July 5, 1994), nicknamed "Shotime",[2] is a Japanese professional baseball pitcher, designated hitter and outfielder for the Los Angeles Angels of Major League Baseball (MLB).
The favorite is Shohei Ohtani, and his odds are +425 at BetMGM. Aaron Judge (+550), Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (+800) and Mookie Betts (+900) are the only other players at shorter than 10-to-1 odds.
That means there are some juicy odds available. In a one-game sample, practically any hitter can win MVP with one big swing of the bat.
You'll need to pick the winning team. Yahoo Sportsbook's Sam Cooper likes the American League, which does seem to have the better lineup and has won eight straight and 20 of the last 24. I can ride with that.
