MLB MVP Odds & Favorites 2025: Judge Returns From IL and Becomes Favorite Again
Aaron Judge made his return following an elbow injury, which also led to his prompt ascension again up the MLB MVP odds after Cal Raleigh briefly led in the American League when the Yankees slugger was on the IL.
- There was initially concern tied to Judge's injury, but he ended up being out two weeks, though the masher will only be featured in New York's DH spot at least short term
- Raleigh is still mounting a challenge after once being listed longer than +10000, though he's the only real challenger to Judge in the American League
- Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani is sprinting away in the NL
- The Dodgers are still taking a cautious approach with him on the mound, but he keeps getting deeper into games while showcasing his two-way dominance yet again
- Pete Crow-Armstrong and Kyle Schwarber are also producing top-tier seasons, but their lengthy odds in second and third show just how much Ohtani continues to assert himself
