Mets’ Jacob deGrom favored to win NL MVP at multiple sportsbooks

Jacob deGrom has undergone a stellar season thus far, and at the moment, is seemingly on track to win the National League MVP.

If you’re not a baseball fan, I’ll just tell you this: a 0.56 ERA through 10 starts is absolutely fantastic. Actually, it’s the lowest ERA through the first 10 starts of a season since “earned runs” became an official, recognized statistic back in 1913.

And just so you know, allowing four total earned runs while recording five RBIs through 10 starts is additionally sensational.

This is the success Mets ace Jacob deGrom has garnered thus far in the 2021 MLB season. Opposing batters are looking silly, fans are in awe, and evidently, sportsbooks are noticing — deGrom is the favorite to win the National League MVP Award at multiple books.

Here are the odds for deGrom to earn the prestigious honor at six legal online sportsbooks (Jacob is favored at all of them):

• DraftKings Sportsbook: +200
• FanDuel Sportsbook: +200
• PointsBet: +175

• William Hill Sportsbook: +200

The biggest bang for your buck would obviously be at DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbook, BetMGM, and William Hill Sportsbook, given those are the books with the longest odds for deGrom to win the award.
