National League:

2. Juan Soto +210
3. Walker Buehler +2800
Los Angeles Angels' Shohei Ohtani -- the 24-year-old from Japan who had a 152 OPS+ at the plate and a 126 ERA+ on the mound in 104 games -- is the favorite on the American League side. Atlanta Braves' outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr is the favorite for the National League.

3. Corey Kluber +650
National League:
1. Jacob deGrom -700
2. Aaron Nola +500
3. Max Scherzer +500
Blake Snell of the Tampa Bay Rays is the AL favorite. Snell had a 7.5 WAR (per Baseball-Reference) and a 0.974 WHIP. New York Mets' righty Jacob deGrom, unsurprisingly, is the NL favorite. DeGrom was not among the three finalists for NL MVP, but perhaps he should've been.
