Nick Kurtz remains the runaway favorite to win AL Rookie of the Year, with only Roman Anthony drawing odds at 20/1 or shorter among his pursuers.
MLB odds are much tighter in the NL Rookie of the Year race, though, with Atlanta Braves catcher Drake Baldwin around even money and both Cade Horton and Isaac Collins shorter than 10/1 with a month to play.
Let’s take a look at the latest MLB Rookie of the Year odds.

Past Rookie of the Year winners
Previous AL RoY winners
Although all players have an equal chance of winning the AL Rookie of the Year Award, the honor has been claimed disproportionately by outfielders since its inception in 1949. Outfielders have 24 victories compared to 17 for pitchers and 17 for shortstops. Catchers are bringing up the rear with just two ROY victories over the past 72 years.

Previous NL RoY winners
No franchise has won more Rookie of the Year awards than the Dodgers. "The Blue Crew" have claimed 18 RoY trophies dating back to the club's early days in Brooklyn.
However, unlike the AL — where the West has been the recent home of the top rookies — the NL East has housed five of the last 12 RoYs, with a mix of outfielders, infielders, starting pitchers, and even a reliever.
