AL Rookie of the Year odds analysis
Two weeks ago, we highlighted Nick Kurtz as a potential long shot to challenge teammate Jacob Wilson in the AL Rookie of the Year race. Kurtz was listed at +5000, and now he's no longer than +650.
Through June 14, Kurtz had five home runs. He then proceeded to hit five more in six games. The batting average still isn't there, but he's starting to harness his light-tower power more often. Kurtz has now gone yard 12 times in 47 MLB games.
Wilson is batting .339 through 81 games, so he's going to be very difficult to catch. Still, Kurtz is looking better and better.

NL Rookie of the Year odds analysis
After weeks of Drake Baldwin hovering as the default favorite, we have a new top dog in Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski.
The 6-foot-7 starter has started his career by allowing just three hits over 16 innings, surrendering two runs while striking out 19.
While Misiorowski finally gave up a hit in his second outing, he also walked just one batter over six innings compared to the four free passes he handed out in his debut.
Milwaukee's right-hander followed up that appearance with five scoreless innings against Pittsburgh, improving to 3-0 and moving from +190 to -180 in NL ROY 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.
