The 2025 MLB regular season is over, and MLB odds for MVP and other awards markets are off the board.
Cal Raleigh surged into favorite status ahead of the final week and clubbed his 60th home run. But, Aaron Judge finished with another absurd season, slashing .331/.457/.688 with 53 home runs and a 204 wRC+. It's not quite at the level of his previous two MVP seasons (2022, 2024), but it's not far off.
Raleigh had one of the best all-around seasons by a catcher and posted just the 10th 60-homer season in MLB history (not the 10th person to do it, but the 10th period). He was also elite behind the plate, while Judge was shakier in the field.
The Yankees finished with the better record, but the Mariners won the AL West and secured a higher playoff seed. If allowed to guess today, I think Judge wins it.

MLB MVP odds explained
Most sportsbooks will display odds in the American format as listed above. When Goldschmidt ran away with the MVP award in 2022 his odds had a minus (-) sign ahead of the number for a large part of the season.
- Paul Goldschmidt -6000
That means that a bettor in August had to wager $6,000 to win $100 by betting on Goldy to win MVP. Before the season starts, almost every player will have a plus (+) sign ahead of their odds.
- Shohei Ohtani +200
That means a bettor would have profited $200 for a $100 wager on Ohtani before the season started.
If American odds aren't your thing, simply use a tool like our odds converter to switch the odds to decimal or fractional format. Most online sportsbooks also give you the option to change the odds format that you see.
