MLB Opening Day is here. Twenty-eight teams are ready to play their first games of the season this week, but it's never too early to look at who the favorites are in both MVP races.
Unsurprisingly, reigning NL MVP Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. is the early favorite to win the award again after a superb 2023 season. New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is the favorite in the AL after his third straight season with at least 35 home runs.
MLB has a long season with 162 games for each team to play in total, so these rankings are early and much can still change.
