Braves' star outfielder Ronald Acuna, Jr. is one of the favorites to capture the 2020 National League MVP Award. (AP) Who will win the National League Most Valuable Player Award?The Los Angeles Dodgers have made the World Series in two of the last three seasons, which included losses to Houston in 2017 and Boston in 2018. The Dodgers are still the class of the National League and bolstered their lineup by acquiring 2018 American League MVP Mookie Betts from the Red Sox in the offseason. Betts put up similar numbers to his MVP campaign last season, finishing with 29 home runs and 80 runs batted in, although his average slipped to .295. Betts is the favorite to win the MVP at +550 betting odds (Bet $100 to win $550), while trying to become the third different Dodger to capture the NL MVP since 2014. Betts will be featured in a powerful Dodgers' lineup alongside Cody Bellinger, who took home the Most Valuable Player honor in 2019. Bellinger drilled 47 home runs, batted .305, and drove in 115 runs, which all ranked in the top seven of the National League. Bellinger is listed at +700 odds or 7/1 to win the MVP honor for a second straight season, as the last NL player to capture the award in consecutive years was Albert Pujols in 2008 and 2009 with the Cardinals.

Angels' star Mike Trout is fresh off his third Most Valuable Player award and is favored again in 2020. (AP) Who will win the American League Most Valuable Player Award?For the third time in his illustrious career, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout hoisted the American League Most Valuable Player honor. Trout became the first three-time winner of the award since Alex Rodriguez picked up his third MVP in 2007. The Angels' star knocked out a career-high 45 home runs and scored over 100 runs for the seventh time in the last eight seasons. Trout is the favorite once again to win the award at +275 (Bet $100 to win $275). Rodriguez was the last New York Yankees' player to be named American League Most Valuable player as slugger Aaron Judge is listed at 10/1 (or +1000) betting odds for this award. Judge was limited to 102 regular season games in which he hit 27 home runs (compared to 52 homers in 2017), while driving in only two runs in nine postseason games for the Yankees in 2019. Judge is dealing with a fractured rib, as his return to the lineup is unclear. Cleveland Indians' shortstop Francisco Lindor is also sitting at 10/1 MVP odds coming off another solid season in which he hit 32 home runs and drove in 74 runs. The top player who switched teams in the offseason in the American League is Angels' third baseman Anthony Rendon (14/1). The former Nationals' standout had a career season in 2019 by drilling 34 home runs and picking up 126 RBI's in helping Washington to its first ever World Series title. AL MVP Odds
