Who will take home the major individual awards this MLB season?
It probably won't come as a surprise that last year's unanimous AL and NL MVPs are the favorites to win the hardware once again this season. The New York Yankees' Aaron Judge, who led the majors in both home runs and RBI, and the Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani, coming off MLB's first 50/50 season, opened the season as the prohibitive favorites. Things remain that way through the end of May.
Pittsburgh Pirates' Paul Skenes is the current favorite to win the NL Cy Young after winning last season's NL Rookie of the Year. Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Dodgers sits in second. Meanwhile, Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers, who got all 30 first-place votes last season to capture the AL award, is currently the favorite to repeat, ahead of several pitchers, including Garrett Crochet of the Boston Red Sox, Hunter Brown of the Houston Astros and Max Fried of the Yankees.
The race for both Rookie of the Year awards likely will be tight again this season, with several prospects in the hunt -- including shortstop Jacob Wilson of the Athletics and hot-hitting catcher Drake Baldwin of the Atlanta Braves. First baseman Jac Caglianone of the Kansas City Royals, expected to debut with the team on June 3, has now surged to second in the AL odds at 15-1.
