Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Trout, Harper are MLB MVP betting favorites on latest prop odds

Mike Trout and Bryce Harper are the favorites to win their respective league’s MVP awards at the sportsbooks with the 2018 MLB season two months old.

Mike Trout is a two-time winner of the AL MVP Award, earning that honor in both 2014 and 2016. Trout is favored to add another MVP Award to his trophy case in 2018.

The Los Angeles Angels star is a +300 favorite on the odds to win the AL MVP award at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Widely considered the best positional player in baseball, Trout is once again putting together a fantastic season at the plate with a .303 batting average, 35 RBI, and an AL-leading 18 home runs and .448 on base percentage (stats heading into Tuesday’s action).

Trout also leads the majors in the Wins Against Replacement (WAR) stat, scoring a 4.9 in that category.

The main reason Mike Trout hasn’t run away with the award is the play of Boston’s Mookie Betts. Betts leads the American League in batting average at .359 and runs scored with 52 and ranks second in the AL in home runs (17), on base percentage (.437) and WAR (4.1). It also won’t hurt Betts’ chances that his Boston Red Sox are in line to have one of the best records in baseball. If these two superstars stay healthy, the vote could be very tight down the stretch.

Other potential contenders on the AL MVP odds include Jose Altuve (+700), Aaron Judge (+1000), Manny Machado (+1200), Giancarlo Stanton (+1400), J.D. Martinez (+1600), and Andrelton Simmons (+1600)

National League MVP Betting Lines

On the odds to win the NL MVP award the race seems a lot more wide open as there aren’t any clear favorites to come out on top. The favorites on the betting board are Bryce Harper (+400), Nolan Arenado (+400) and Freddie Freeman (+600).

Harper won the award in 2015 and is the leader in the National League in home runs with 16 and walks with 46. But with a batting average of just .228, Harper will likely need to get that number up if he hopes to win the NL MVP Award for a second time.

While the American League MVP race looks like a favorable one to bet the chalk, the National League could be the spot to take a stab on a longshot. Worthy options on the NL MVP odds include Kris Bryant (+1000), Scooter Gennett (+1200), Brandon Belt (+1400), Joey Votto (+2000), Charlie Blackmon (+2000), Nick Markakis (+2000), Ozzie Albies (+2000) and Travis Shaw (+2000).

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Jon Gruden: I Get A Ton Of Calls From Players Who Are "Dying To Come And Play Here"

Imagen
The Thursday night game is Raiders-49ers, which, I’d rather die. But pregame, we get a sitdown interview with Jon Gruden (who you thought couldn’t nuke his roster any further after the trade deadline passed, but that didn’t take into account his chasing players into retirement ), conducted by his “good friend” Howie… Read more...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Ranking Jon Gruden’s best quotes in his Raiders return, from Khalil Mack to Tom Cruise

Imagen
Jon Gruden’s return to coaching hasn’t been smooth, but he’s given us a few quotes to enjoy — especially about Khalil Mack. When the Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden in January, they weren’t just getting a coach — they were getting a character and the show that comes with it. After nine years as an ESPN personality, Gruden’s return to coaching has brought with it hilarious quotes on a weekly basis. And that’d be a lot more fun for Oakland if it was paired with some wins, but so far the Gruden era has mostly been losses and a skunked up locker room . Judging by his record-breaking contract , the Raiders are probably going to have Gruden around for a while, and that means we’ll have some fun press conferences along the way. So far, these are the best quotes from Gruden since his 2018 return to Oakland and it’s a list we’ll keep updating as he keeps talking: 8. Let’s throw the game back to 1998 The quote: From a meeting with reporters at the 2018 NFL Combine: “I’m trying to thro...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Rams-Raiders betting lines and point spread updates for MNF

Imagen
The Rams paid their franchise player, while the Raiders traded theirs. That and the return of Jon Gruden highlight this Week 1 MNF matchup. The NFL opens the 2018 regular season with its annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and the late game will feature a high profile return. The Oakland Raiders host the Los Angeles Rams in Jon Gruden’s first game as a head coach since 2008. It marks his first game coaching the Raiders since a 2002 playoff appearance. The Westgate SuperBook had one of the first lines for this game and opened the Rams as 1.5 point favorites. You could get this as low as a pick ‘em in April , but the line has changed with bettors hitting the Rams heavily. Sportsbooks are sitting at either four points or 4.5 points, according to Odds Shark . The point total is set at 49.5. This game features resolution for a pair for a pair of players given the franchise tag. The Rams agreed to terms making Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in the league . Shor...
