October 21, 2025
Other notable contenders for postseason honors include Teoscar Hernandez, with four home runs and 11 RBIs, and Blake Snell, known for his dominant pitching with 28 strikeouts in three postseason starts.
George Springer from the Blue Jays is also at +1000, highlighted by a crucial 3-run home run in Game 7 of the ALCS that helped Toronto secure the series.
Last year's World Series MVP was Freddie Freeman of the Dodgers, who has odds at +1000, supported by his performance of four home runs and 12 RBIs in the previous Fall Classic.
Freddie Freeman's previous success raises the question of whether he can repeat as MVP this year.
Shohei Ohtani is the favorite to win the 2025 World Series MVP, opening at +170, thanks to his outstanding postseason performance including a dominant NLCS MVP showing.
Ohtani's postseason highlights include striking out 10 batters over six scoreless innings and hitting three solo home runs in Game 4 of the NLCS.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the ALCS MVP from the Blue Jays, is the second favorite at +600, with notable series statistics including nine hits, six runs, and three home runs.
