“Uncover the Dark Horses: Surprising Contenders for the 2025 AL and NL MVP and Cy Young Awards That Could Shift the Game!”

_____________________________

There is no point in betting this award if Ohtani pitches and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has suggested he’ll be on the mound by May. Shohei won his third MVP in four years last season. He led the NL in batting WAR, home runs (54), RBI (130), and runs (134). All by a considerable margin, too. Ohtani stole the second-most bases in the league last year (59), which is insane. 

I.e., the only way Shohei doesn’t win the 2025 NL MVP is if he gets hurt. That’s not a “handicapping angle”, though. With that in mind, the only longshot bet worth placing is Brewers OF Christian Yelich. He is a two-time batting champion, three-time All-Star, and the 2018 NL MVP.
