Last year, he started the season with 5\/2, or +250, odds. Here are his odds for this season and the six prior:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2020: +100<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2019: +250<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2018: +125<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2017: +130<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2016: +150<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2015: +300<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2014: +500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>National League newcomer, Mookie Betts, is a 5\/1 favorite to bring an MVP award to L.A. for the second straight season. Last year&#8217;s winner, Cody Bellinger, has 8\/1 odds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gerrit Cole and Jacob DeGrom top the board for Cy Young odds, and Aaron Judge is the favorite to lead the league in home runs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can access MVP, Cy Young and home run odds, which are subject to change, throughout the offseason at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/record.commission.bz\/_ejy4onLiLhHT2Fu8bIPGIGNd7ZgqdRLk\/1\/\">SportsBetting<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the sportsbook has set odds on Pete Rose being reinstated by Major League Baseball following the submission of a recent 20-page petition. The odds of reinstatement are 5\/1, or&nbsp;+500, while the chances of it not happening are 1\/10.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>AL
