2023 MLB MVP odds: AL & NL predictions, picks and favorites

Even with a 162-game schedule, baseball never ceases to surprise, especially when it comes to the MVP award.

In 2018, virtually no one expected Christian Yelich to burst onto the scene with 25 home runs during the second half of the season en route to the National League MVP.

Or that 33-year-old first baseman José Abreu could string together a 22-game hitting streak and capture the 2020 American League MVP honor.
