Stay Away From Tarik Skubal’s WBC Tournament MVP Odds
While the United States has the superior starting pitching staff with names like Paul Skenes, Tarik Skubal, and Logan Webb, Skubal is only making one start against Great Britain. That’s why bettors should stay away from Skubal’s +1200 MVP odds and instead go for a hitter that will have impact on every game.
WBC Tournament MVP Odds
- Aaron Judge (USA) +750
- Shohei Ohtani (JPN) +1100
- Tarik Skubal (USA) +1200
- Bobby Witt Jr. (USA) +1600
- Paul Skenes (USA) +1600
- Bryce Harper (USA) +1700
- Gunnar Henderson (USA) +1700
- Kyle Schwarber (USA) +1700
- Logan Webb (USA) +2000
- Juan Soto (DOM) +2200
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (DOM) +2200
- Byron Buxton (USA) +3000
- Cal Raleigh (USA) +3000
- Munetaka Murakami (JPN) +3000
- Roman Anthony (USA) +3000
- Ronald Acuna Jr. (VEN) +3000
- Seiya Suzuki (JPN) +3000
- Yoshinobu Yamamoto (JPN) +3000
- Julio Rodriguez (DOM) +3500
- Kazuma Okamoto (JPN) +3500
Aaron Judge is the unsurprising favorite for tournament MVP (+750) as the best hitter on the favored team, but American players consume eight of the top nine spots. That creates value at legal MLB betting sites for top Dominican bats like Juan Soto and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. at +2200 odds.
