AL MVP Odds: Mike Trout Dominating Early on FanDuel Sportsbook

Past the first month of the season and the American League MVP favorite is a familiar face. Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (+180) is holding steady as the AL MVP favorite.

But a preseason longshot has emerged in Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (+850). And just like the National League MVP race, the AL has a pitcher as a top challenger for Most Valuable Player. Trout's teammate Shohei Ohtani (+850) has belted 9 home runs while batting DH and pitching for the Angels.

Mike Trout leads the majors with a .398 batting average, .514 on base percentage, 1.275 OPS and 2.1 WAR. He's smacked 8 home runs, and his slugging percentage of .761 is second in the majors behind Buxton (.805), who is batting .379 with 9 home runs.
