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, although the odds have tightened in the NL as a trio of players chase Ohtani.
Pittsburgh Pirates' Paul Skenes is the favorite to win the NL Cy Young after winning last season's NL Rookie of the Year. Meanwhile, Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers, who got all 30 first-place votes last season to capture the AL award, is only the second-favorite to repeat, just behind current favorite Garrett Crochet of the Boston Red Sox.
The race for both Rookie of the Year awards likely will be tight again this season, with several prospects in the hunt -- including the AL's Kristian Campbell, who signed an eight-year extension with the Red Sox at the beginning of the season, and the NL's Roki Sasaki, who chose the Dodgers from among several suitors after being posted from the Japanese NPL.
