NL MVP race: Takeaways and best bets

Ronald Acuna Jr., Atlanta Braves (+150)

Acuna continues to be the best bet to win this award. If he can stay healthy, he does a little bit of everything on the field and is one of the more well-rounded players in the Major Leagues. Through 41 games, Acuna is hitting .344 with 12 doubles, nine home runs and 25 RBI. He has also swiped 17 bases already, taking advantage of the larger bases introduced this season.

Paul Goldschmidt, St. Louis Cardinals (+2500)

Goldy is the reigning winner of the NL MVP Award, and he has started this season showing off why that was. He is hitting .319 with 16 doubles, and seven home runs through 41 games. Goldschmidt has added 23 RBI with a .403 OBP to his campaign. If he can get some support from his teammates, he is already playing at the MVP-caliber level that brought him the award last year and represents good value at +2500.
