In a remarkable turnaround, Mookie Betts is now the odds-on favorite to be named National League MVP at sportsbooks around the nation.
Betts\' odds were sitting at 35-1 on Aug. 17, but he has gone on a tear since, leading MLB with 22 hits, a .550 batting average and a 1.531 OPS.
The run moved Betts past Ronald Acuna, Jr., who had long been the NL MVP favorite.
Betts is -135 at Caesars Sportsbook, followed by Acuna at +120 and the Dodgers\' Freddie Freeman at +900. It\'s the first time Acuna hasn\'t been the favorite since April 8, when San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto had shorter odds.
