Baseball betting favorites for 2014 MVP. There are a few MLB betting favorites to win the World Series, but individual performance is also rewarded in the form of the National League and American League Most Valuable Player awards. Last year’s NL MVP Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates has good odds of repeating like his AL counterpart Miguel Cabrera did in 2012 and 2013. Cabrera himself has a good chance of pulling threepeat, but neither he nor McCutchen are in the lead at the moment. McCutchen is in fact trailing Troy Tulowitzki and Giancarlo Stanton (formerly known as Mike).

Even though Cabrera has better offensive stats which have helped his team, the Detroit Tigers, become a favorite to win the World Series, baseball betting oddsmakers favor Dodgers outfielder Mike Trout to win the AL MVP award. Will this be the year that Trout adds MVP to his list of titles, which includes Millville Meteor, Prince Fish, God’s Gift and King Fish 2.0? On the other hand, if both he and Cabrera failed to capture the honor this year -unlikely as that is- there are plenty of ballplayers of Latino descent who could take up the Mantle from the Venezuelan Cabrera, including compatriot Victor Martinez, Dominicans Nelson Cruz, Edwin Encarnacion, and Melky Cabrera (not related to Miguel), Dominican/Israeli Jose Bautista, Cubans Jose Abreu and Alexei Ramirez, and Dominican/Americans Robinson Cano and Albert Pujols.
