Latest MLB Awards Betting Odds for MVP, Cy Young, More Ahead of 2026 Season Led by Judge, Ohtani

On Thursday, 30 MLB teams will begin their quest for a World Series title, and star players will look to add some individual hardware to their collection on the way.

Ahead of MLB Opening Day, here's a look at the betting odds for the MVP and Cy Young awards, via FanDuel Sportsbook:

AL MVP Odds

• Aaron Judge (+185)
• Bobby Witt Jr. (+450)
• Cal Raleigh (+700)
• Julio Rodriguez (+1200)

NL MVP Odds

• Shohei Ohtani (-140)
• Juan Soto (+700)
• Ronald Acuña Jr. (+1100)
• Fernando Tatis Jr. (+1900)

AL Cy Young Odds

• Tarik Skubal (+240)
• Garrett Crochet (+350)
• Hunter Brown (+1200)
• Cole Ragans (+1200)

NL Cy Young Odds

• Paul Skenes (+240)
• Yoshinobu Yamamoto (+500)
• Cristopher Sanchez (+650)
• Chris Sale (+900)

New York Yankees star Aaron Judge has won back-to-back MVP trophies, and he'll look to make it three in a row this year. He would be the first player in American League history to win the award three times in a row, and the first MLB player to win three MVPs in a row in the same league since Barry Bonds.

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani has won three consecutive MVPs and has won it in the National League in back-to-back seasons. Those in the NL will have to step it up this year to challenge Ohtani for the award, because he hasn't had much competition for it recently.

Last year's Cy Young award winners, Pittsburgh Pirates star Paul Skenes and Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, are once again favorites this year, and it wouldn't be surprising to see either win it in 2026.

Of course, there's always the chance for a player to have a breakout year and take home the coveted trophy.
