2025 MLB All-Star Game MVP Odds: Can Ohtani, Judge Win For First Time?

2025 MLB All-Star Game MVP Odds: Can Ohtani, Judge Win For First Time?

Fox Sports4 hours ago
MLB All-Star Game MVP isn't as prestigious as regular-season MVP — but it's still a nice accolade for the trophy case.
The Midsummer Classic is set for Tuesday at Truist Park in Atlanta. Will the two biggest names in the sport finally bring home their first piece of hardware from the All-Star showcase (8 p.m. ET, FOX)? Let's check out the odds at Fanduel Sportsbook as of July 14.
2025 All-Star Game MVP
Shohei Ohtani: +550 (bet $10 to win $65 total)
Aaron Judge: +750 (bet $10 to win $85 total)
Ronald Acuna Jr.: +1100 (bet $10 to win $120 total)
Cal Raleigh: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)
Pete Crow-Armstrong: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)
Fernando Tatis Jr.: +1800 (bet $10 to win $190 total)
Freddie Freeman: +2300 (bet $10 to win $240 total)
Manny Machado: +2300 (bet $10 to win $240 total)
Ketel Marte: +2300 (bet $10 to win $240 total)
Bobby Witt Jr.: +2700 (bet $10 to win $280 total)
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.: +2700 (bet $10 to win $280 total)
If you look at the most recent winners of the All-Star Game MVP, there are some names that might shock both true baseball and casual fans.
Last year it was Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran. The year before, it was Rockies catcher Elias Diaz.
Both Duran and Diaz were making their All-Star debuts and have not made it back to the game.
Prior to those two, Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton won in 2022 and Blue Jays slugger Vladdy Guerrero Jr. won in 2021, both star names.
There are two superstars, however, that have yet to win ASG MVP: Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge.
Ohtani, a five-time All-Star, won AL MVP in 2021 and 2023, and NL MVP last season. Judge, a seven-time All-Star, won AL MVP in 2022 and 2024.
Last season, Ohtani hit a three-run homer, while Judge went 0-for-2. However, the AL won the game, creating a blockade from Ohtani likely winning MVP.

WNBA Legend Lisa Leslie Had Two Words for Angel Reese on Monday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky moved up to 10th place in the league standings after Saturday's upset win over the 18-4 Minnesota Lynx.

Advertisement Chicago was able to overcome MVP frontrunner Napheesa Collier's 26-point, eight-rebound, five-assist, three-steal, and three-block performance thanks to a well-rounded effort. Veteran guard Ariel Atkins led the way for the Sky with a game-high 27 points. Second-year post players Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso also played incredibly well, with Reese chipping in 19 points, 11 rebounds and four assists for her eighth-straight double-double. Cardoso also added 17 points and 15 rebounds in her return to the starting lineup. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5).Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Reese has enjoyed two historic WNBA seasons thus far, as she is already a two-time All-Star with numerous rebounding and double-double records to her name. This has allowed her to form relationships with legendary players like Lisa Leslie, a Hall of Fame center. Advertisement On Sunday, Reese made a post on Instagram just a day after the team's big win over the Lynx. Leslie responded to her post with a few simple words for the WNBA's rising star. "Pretty Baller❤️," Leslie wrote.

Raiders Hit With Harsh Reality Regarding Status in AFC West

Raiders Hit With Harsh Reality Regarding Status in AFC West originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Las Vegas Raiders won just four games during the 2024 NFL season under head coach Antonio Pierce and general manager Tom Telesco. Owner Mark Davis opted to part ways with these two and replace them during the offseason. Advertisement Bleacher Report's Moe Moton commended Davis and his decision-makers for this move and pointed out that the team made several key upgrades ahead of the 2025 NFL season. "The Silver and Black significantly upgraded their coaching staff, hiring head coach Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly," Moton wrote. "They traded for two-time Pro Bowl quarterback Geno Smith. The team also drafted top running back Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 overall pick." Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith (7) and running back Ashton Jeanty (2).Candice Ward-Imagn Images The Raiders still play in arguably the toughest division in the NFL, however. Moton predicted the last-place team in each of the league's eight divisions, and he chose Las Vegas for the AFC West. Advertisement "With those additions, Las Vegas can hang with some of the top teams across the league," Moton wrote. "That said, the Raiders must make up more ground between their roster and legitimate playoff-contending clubs. The Raiders could win seven or eight games, yet still finish last in the AFC West." This may be a disappointing outcome for Raider Nation, which has only experienced two playoff appearances and zero postseason victories in the last two decades. However, there are key reasons for this prediction, as Moton pointed out. "Las Vegas has two rookie receivers in Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton Jr., who may have to take on prominent roles as complementary playmakers to All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers and wideout Jakobi Meyers. The coaching staff must also sort out the starters at both guard positions," Moton wrote. While the team has issues offensively, the Raiders also enter the 2025 campaign with question marks on their defense. Advertisement "The Raiders have a mostly unproven secondary," Moton pointed out. "They don't have a sure-fire starter at cornerback. Safety Isaiah Pola-Mao has to make more impact plays this year than he did as a first-year starter in 2024." Fortunately, the Silver and Black will have a chance to defy these notions in Week 1, when they travel to take on the New England Patriots. The Raiders have a more favorable schedule than in years past, so 2025 could be a season they make noise.

Ryan Clark Makes Honest Assessment of Raiders OC Chip Kelly Before Training Camp

Ryan Clark Makes Honest Assessment of Raiders OC Chip Kelly Before Training Camp originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Las Vegas Raiders are entering the 2025 NFL season with plenty of moving pieces. New head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek completely revamped the roster this offseason in their first year at the helm. Advertisement They also put together an All-Star lineup of coordinators, position coaches and front office members, so the future of the Silver and Black finally looks promising. Raider Nation did have concerns, however, about new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. Kelly has been widely accepted as a bright offensive mind at the college level. But his short-term success with the Philadelphia Eagles, followed by utter failure with the San Francisco 49ers, has caused a bit of uncertainty heading into the year. Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Cairns/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Fortunately, it seems like Kelly has changed his ways and should be the man for the job in Las Vegas. ESPN commentator and Super Bowl champion safety Ryan Clark was asked on "The Mina Kimes Show" last week about whether he was a believer in Kelly. Advertisement "Yes, I am. He changed," Clark said. "In a day and age where what he started in college football is what everybody does. He had three pros on the outside [at Ohio State] ... There were times where, I'm obviously sitting in the stadium when they're playing Notre Dame, who's beat up up front, and he's like, 'You know what? We're gonna go 12 [personnel]. We're gonna run the football. We're gonna find ways to use 21 [personnel], and even though I have all these people on the outside, this is where I can win.'" This is a promising revelation for the Raiders, as they had arguably the worst offense in the league last season. Las Vegas' rushing attack ranked 32nd with just 79.8 yards per game, and their 18.2 points per contest were among the worst in the NFL as well. Las Vegas made several key upgrades on offense in terms of personnel as well, with quarterback Geno Smith now under center and rookie Ashton Jeanty expected to revive the backfield. There are question marks surrounding the team's wide receiver corps, given that two rookies are expected to contribute heavily. However, 2024 All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers and 1,000-yard receiver Jakobi Meyers should eat up the bulk of the targets.
