MLB MVP Ladder 7.0: Matt Olson makes a run at teammate Ronald Acuña Jr. in the NL
Throughout the 2023 MLB season, BetFTW is keeping track of the Cy Young and MVP award leaders in the American League and National League.
Like Shohei Ohtani in the AL, Ronald Acuña Jr. has been the season-long favorite to win the NL MVP from the very first ladder we put together.
However, while the distance between his betting odds and those of No. 2 Freddie Freeman continues to increase, it’s not nearly as large as the gap in the AL, which begs the question, can Freeman (or anyone else) catch Acuña?
The only stat where Acuña has a significant advantage over the field is his 51 stolen bases, which is a huge number. But Freeman is now batting at a slightly higher average while also putting some distance in how many more RBI he has. If that continues, this race could turn into a race.
Until then, here’s where things stand today, with odds from DraftKings.
