Betting favorites to win 2023 MLB World Series MVP
Bryce Harper odds to win 2023 MLB World Series MVP
Harper is the betting favorite; not only is he potentially the biggest star left in the playoffs. Harper has also had a solid playoff performance-wise and is undoubtedly the team leader for the Phillies.
In six playoff games this postseason, Harper has batted .368 with 3 home runs, 5 RBIs, and 7 walks, leading to a ridiculous .538 on-base percentage.
If the Phillies win the World Series, Harper will be hard to beat for the 2023 MLB World Series MVP award.
Yordan Alvarez odds to win 2023 MLB World Series MVP
How about this for a stat line: 4 games played and 4 home runs for Alvarez in the playoffs.
The slugger is a big-time producer in the middle of the Astros' lineup, so if Houston wins another World Series, it would not shock anyone to see Alvarez bring home the 2023 MLB World Series MVP.
Corey Seager odds to win 2023 MLB World Series MVP
The All-Star shortstop for the Rangers has been raking this postseason while his Rangers team has made quick work of the opposition.
Seager is hitting .429 with an insane 11 walks this postseason in just five games. His on-base percentage leads all players in the playoff by over 50 points at .675. Seager is literally getting on base somehow in two out of every three plate appearances.
If he keeps that up, not only will the Rangers be a tough out, but he will have a great chance to win the 2023 MLB World Series MVP.
2023 MLB World Series MVP Longshots
Justin Verlander odds to win 2023 MLB World Series MVP
It is tough for a starting pitcher to win a World Series MVP as they will likely only pitch in two games, maybe three if they go on short rest or are used as a reliever in Game 7.
That means the starting pitcher would have to have two incredible starts even to have a chance. Don't put anything past the ageless wonder Justin Verlander, who, at this point, is only adding to his legacy and guaranteeing his status as a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
Nick Castellanos odds to win the 2023 MLB World Series MVP
The hottest bat in baseball right now is unquestionably swung by Nick Castellanos, who powered the Phillies past the Braves to the NLCS.
Castellanos hit 2 home runs in Games 3 and 4, ensuring his Phillies would advance. If he stays this hot, not only will the Phillies win a World Series, he would surely be the no-doubt 2023 MLB World Series MVP.
Corbin Carroll odds to win 2023 MLB World Series MVP
The top choice of any Diamondback for odds to win the 2023 MLB World Series MVP, his chances are only hurt by the fact that his team's odds are fourth out of four to win the World Series.
If Arizona wins the World Series, it would have a lot to do with Carroll, who has batted .565 in the playoffs, with 2 home runs, and scored 6 runs himself.
2023 MLB World Series MVP prediction: Bryce Harper slugs his way to an MVP
The choice here is simple: Harper still has pretty good odds value-wise and is the top choice of players to win the 2023 MLB World Series MVP award. If the Phillies go on to win the World Series after coming up short in the finals last year, Harper will be the man to lead the way.
The 30-year-old perennial All-Star once was questioned for his performance in the playoffs after having only average performances during his time in Washington. He has proved doubters wrong with his performance last postseason and is following it up with perhaps an even better one this year.
Harper is averaging a home run every other game right now, and if the Phillies win it all and Harper keeps up his pace, he could have double-digit home runs by the time the Phillies bring home the Commissioner's Trophy.
