Smell that it is the air? Oh yeah, folks, it’s Spring Training season. That means there is no better time to lock in some AL MVP bets before it gets too late.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some may want to place their bets as close to the season as possible. But those people are cowards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m not a coward, and neither are you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So come along for the ride as I show you three AL MVP bets you must make.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Three AL MVP Bets You Need To Lock In<\/h2>\n

Julio Rodriguez, +700<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sweet, Sweet J-Rod. The reigning AL Rookie of the Year, Julio Rodriguez exploded onto the scene last year, slashing a cool .284\/.345\/.509 with 28 home runs, 75 RBI, and 25 stolen bases in 132 games during 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some will peg him with the potential for a sophomore slump, but I beg to differ. After playing through a wrist injury all last season, Rodriguez should be healthy for 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rodriguez is already undoubtedly one of the five most explosive players in baseball. And now, with a lineup that boasts some more protection with the addition of Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez, he should see even more opportunities to do damage and put up ever more eye-popping numbers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
