The Major League Baseball Triple Crown is one of the rarest individual achievements in sports.
The last player to capture it was Miguel Cabrera in 2012, who snapped a 45-year drought dating back to Carl Yastrzemski in 1967.
This historical context highlights just how incredible Yordan Alvarez’s current season is. Alvarez is currently leading the American League in batting average, home runs, and RBIs. Furthermore, he leads all of MLB in average and homers, while sitting third overall in RBIs.
Not since Mickey Mantle in 1956 has a player won the "entire" Triple Crown by leading both leagues combined. With history on the line, the oddsmakers at BetOnline Sports & Casino have posted markets on whether Alvarez can pull off this historic feat.

Will Yordan Alvarez win the “entire” Triple Crown?
