2022 MLB All-Star MVP Percentage of Handle

Currently, Shohei Ohtani to win the MVP leads the percentage of the handle at 19%. He's followed by Juan Soto, who has 14% of the handle at much higher odds. After Soto, Aaron Judge is getting 10% of the handle on the American League side, followed by Julio Rodriguez and Rafael Devers, who are both getting 10% of the handle. Other than Juan Soto, the NL isn't getting much love for the MVP award. Ronald Acuna Jr. is getting 5% of the handle while Austin Riley is getting 4% of the handle to win the award. Lastly, Freddie Freeman, Paul Goldschmidt, and Corey Seager are getting 3% of the handle. So while Oddsmakers like the National League slightly, bettors are banking on the American League to win.

2022 MLB All-Star MVP Percentage of Bets

Not only does Ohtani have 19% of the handle, but he also has 13% of the bets being placed on him. Ohtani will likely hit and pitch, and therefore, has the most potential to win the award because he'll just do more than any other player in the game. Soto is currently getting 8% of the bets after winning the Home Run Derby last season. He's followed in the same order as above. Aaron Judge and Julio Rodriguez are getting 7% of the bets while Rafael Devers, Freddie Freeman, and Corey Seager are getting 5% of the bets. Acuna Jr. and Goldschmidt have 4% of the bets while Riley only has 3% of the bets, however, the handle is greater for Riley than Freeman, Goldschmidt, and Seager.

2022 MLB All-Star MVP Picks

Ohtani will ultimately be given the opportunity to do the most. He'll hit at the top of the order and get to pitch in an inning. Therefore, everyone loves to bet on Ohtani due to the opportunity. But if you don't think Ohtani will do much with his bat, you can look at Aaron Judge, who will be hitting against lefty Clayton Kershaw in the first inning. Judge has crushed lefties throughout the season and could have another opportunity to do the same tonight. Yes, I know it's Clayton Kershaw. But that's how this entire All-Star game will be. Someone has to step up! I would take Judge on the AL side at +600.

On the NL side, I think Juan Soto could have the most exciting All-Star break of his career. He's coming off a Home Run Derby win and can now take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy the Derby without thinking about his contract or a trade. If not Soto, Paul Goldschmidt can make a real impact. He's hitting .330 on the season and over .440 against lefties. If he gets a chance to hit against Shane McClanahan or another lefty, Goldschmidt could make a real impact in this game. He's a left-handed killer. But I'll take Soto here. He's already getting a lot of the handle and bets, so it's not that intriguing, but it still makes sense.
