MLB odds: Shohei Ohtani, Juan Soto and Aaron Judge lead MVP futures, best bets

MLB is back! With the first pitch of Opening Day on the horizon, here is a look at the MVP futures for both the NL and AL.

APRIL 6, 2022

Checks back into lineup Albies (general soreness) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Albies was scratched ahead of Sunday's game against the Red Sox with general soreness, but the 25-year-old is apparently feeling well enough a day later to give it a go. Manager Brian Snitker has given all of Albies, Dansby Swanson and Eddie Rosario looks out of the leadoff role this spring, but it's unclear which of the three is on track to head into the regular season as Atlanta's table setter.

Scratched with general soreness Albies was scratched from Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox with general soreness, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Albies was penciled in to serve as the designated hitter Sunday, but he'll instead take the day off to rest up. The 25-year-old is expected to be back in the lineup for the final exhibition games of spring Monday and Tuesday, so there doesn't appear to be much concern regarding the soreness.

Racks up three hits Albies went 3-for-4 with an RBI double in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks. He was also caught stealing once.

Impact Albies opened the scoring the third inning when he doubled home Freddie Freeman for his 101st RBI of the season. Albies also picked up a pair of singles and is 8-for-21 during his current five-game hitting streak. He's slashing .259/.313/.492 with 30 home runs and 17 stolen bases (in 21 attempts) over 646 plate appearances this season.

Homers again Wednesday Albies went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 9-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Albies had a sacrifice fly in the first to give Atlanta a quick 1-0 lead and then later followed up a double by Freddie Freeman with a two-run homer in the fifth to extend the lead to 6-1. The long ball was his 30th of the year and put him at 100 RBI for the season as he became the first-ever Atlanta second baseman to hit 30 long balls in a season. Albies does have seven home runs this month but is slashing just .230/.263/.527 with 14 RBI, 12 runs scored and 4:16 BB:K over 17 games.

Connects on homer No. 29 Albies went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-1 win against Arizona.

Impact Albies launched a solo shot off Arizona starter Luke Weaver to give Atlanta an early four-run lead it wouldn't relinquish. The long ball is the 24-year-old's sixth of September as more than one third of his 16 hits this month have left the yard, though Albies is batting a mediocre .225 across 70 September at-bats.

Powers team to victory Albies went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Marlins.

Impact After homering in each of his first four games of September, Albies endured a 1-for-19 dry spell at the dish over the subsequent four contests before getting back on track Sunday. Two batters after Albies connected on his solo shot in the seventh inning, Freddie Freeman left the yard and joined teammate Adam Duvall (34) as members of the 30-home run club. Albies (28), Austin Riley (29) and Dansby Swanson (26) will all have shots at reaching that benchmark over the final three weeks of the season.
