AL MVP Odds Favor Angels Stars Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout into Mid-May on FanDuel Sportsbook

The three leading favorites to win the American League MVP award at the start of the season are maintaining their position into mid-May. Two Los Angeles Angles teammates and past Most Valuable Player winners are now on top after three-time AL MVP Mike Trout (+440) moved up this week to join 2021 MVP Shohei Ohtani (+220). Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (+480) is still a leading contender, and Aaron Judge (+700) has made a huge surge this week as his Yankees continue a hot 15-2 run.

Trout has nine HRs and is among the AL leaders batting .337 with a league-best 25 runs scored, 69 total bases and .726 slugging percentage. Judge is now hitting .289 and leads the AL with 10 home runs and second in the AL with 68 total bases and .613 slugging.

Ohtani has raised his average to 258 with 6 HRs. He's doubled his RBI total the past 12 days to 21 RBIs and has scored 24 runs, but his pitching and popularity keeps him on top as Shohei has 41 K's in 26.1 innings and sports a 3.08 ERA. Guerrero is batting .286 with 7 HRs. Jose Ramirez is batting .297 with 7 HRs, league-high 30 RBIs and third in the AL with 66 total bases and a .595 slugging.
