2024 MLB MVP odds: Betts, Soto favorites; Witt closing in

Updated Apr. 12, 2024 3:19 p.m. ET

The MLB season is off and swinging, and Mookie Betts and Juan Soto remain the favorites to win MVP for each league.

After a historic start this season which saw him lead the league in all batting categories, Betts has continued his consistency at the plate. He's batting .364 with 11 RBIs, five homeruns and a league-leading OPS of 1.234.

Betts' odds of winning the National League MVP sit at +400, just ahead of reigning MVP Ronald Acuna Jr. who has the second-best odds at +600.

Acuna has had a slower start to the season, batting only .233 and has yet to hit a homerun.

Despite this, the Atlanta Braves have continued to thrive, with statistically the best offense in the MLB, as they wait for Acuna to regain his MVP form.

Kansas City Royals' lock up superstar Bobby Witt Jr. with $288.7M extension

Over in the AL, the New York Yankees' outfielder Juan Soto remains the favorite to win the MVP at +330.

With Aaron Judge having a slow start to the season, Soto has picked up the slack, leading the Yankees to a league-best 10-3 record after starting the season batting .360 with 12 RBIs.

Making a giant jump up the oddsboard is Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr.

Witt's odds moved to +700 from +1400 and he's now second on the AL MVP oddsboard and ahead of Judge.

In his third season, Witt is batting .358 and has been the focal point of the Royals lineup, who are currently on a seven-game winning-streak.

When it comes to the MVP races, according to FOX Sports MLB analyst Ben Verlander, Seager could make a push in the AL.

"I'm excited for a full season of Corey Seager. His numbers from last year are video game numbers. In 119 games — listen to these numbers: .327, with 33 homers, 96 RBIs, an OPS over 1.000 and 42 doubles … oh, and a World Series champion.

"Give me 150 plus games this year, and watch what these numbers turn into."
