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

Last season, Yelich slashed .315/.406/.504 with 11 home runs, 42 RBI, and 21 stolen bases in 73 games. If that was extrapolated across 150+ games, and Shohei didn’t exist, Yelich could have the numbers to win his second NL MVP. Again, barring injury, Ohtani wins this award. But, 120-to-1 ain’t bad for Yelich, who should have top-10 odds.

I’m firing a single bullet on Gilbert. He is the fourth-betting favorite to win the 2025 AL Cy Young, but he should be the favorite. Despite a 9-12 record last season, Gilbert had career-bests in innings pitched, WAR, fastball velocity, and K-BB%, which is the essence of pitching. He led the AL in contact and swinging-strike rates post-All-Star break last year, per FanGraphs.
