Make no mistake about it, Atlanta Braves Ronald Acuna Jr is a massive -800 favorite to be named National League Most Valuable Player (MVP). This means he's pretty much a "lock" but the risk will be substantial. You will need to bet $80 to win $10 with the slightest possibility he won't be named MVP. That $80 is returned. You profit $10 for every $80 bet.
Barring a miracle, only Freddie Freeman has a shot at this thing with payout odds of +425. One would bet $10 to win $42.50. Should he win, you get back your $10 plus $42.50.
Ronald Acuna Jr -800
Freddie Freeman +425
Matt Olson +2500
Mookie Betts +2500
Acuna Jr currently owns a .340 batting average. He has 26 home runs this season.
As this goes to press, the Braves have a commanding 9 1/2-game lead over the Phillies. Nine of the Braves hitters have double-digit home runs. It should come as no surprise that Atlanta has two candidates for MVP, Matt Olson being the other at 25-1 odds.
BetOnline is also offering odds on the National League Cy Young with Zac Gallen and Blake Snell co-favorites with payout potentials between $25 and $30 for every $10 bet.
Zac Gallen +250
Blake Snell +275
Justin Steele +475
Logan Webb +500
Spencer Strider +500
Corbin Burnes +1200
Zack Wheeler +2000
Jesus Luzardo +5000
