Ronald Acuna Jr. has been the betting favorite to win NL MVP for the majority of the 2023 MLB season, but now there's a new man atop the list of odds.

That player is none other than Mookie Betts, who is coming off a three-game series against his former team, the Boston Red Sox, that saw him go 7-for-15 with five runs scored, four RBI and a dinger. He's now batting .464 in the month of August.

Let's take a look at the full list of updated odds.

Mookie Betts has taken over as the -130 betting favorite. That means his implied probability of winning NL MVP is 56.52%. You would have to bet $130 on him to win the award to profit $100 if he's able to achieve the feat.
