Seattle Mariners' star catcher and 2025 Home Run Derby champion, Cal Raleigh, is now the AL betting favorite to win MVP above Aaron Judge.

With Judge’s playing future up in the air, Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is now a -145 AL MVP favorite at FanDuel Sportsbook over the Yankees’ slugger, who dropped to +115. The Bombers’ right fielder will be placed on the injured list and miss at least 10 days, but the team appears to have avoided the worst, according to Boone.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is dominating at the plate this season, putting numbers that rival New York Yankees legend Babe Ruth.

Seattle’s Cal Raleigh won his first All-Star Home Run Derby after leading the big leagues in long balls going into the break, defeating Tampa Bay’s Junior Caminero 18-15 in the final round Monday night.
