Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has been tabbed as the MVP favorite for the upcoming World Baseball Classic, per betonline.ag
The WBC runs March 4-17 and Judge is one of several Yankees involved.
Judge, the three-time AL MVP winner, is the betting favorite for MVP, followed by Shohei Ohtani, Tarik Skubal, Harper, Kyle Schwarber and Paul Skenes. Juan Soto and Vlad Guerrero Jr. are the next highest non-Ohtani and U.S. players on the list.
Daisuke Matzuzaka won the award in 2006 and 2009 for Japan, Robinson Cano won it in 2013 for the Dominican Republic and oft-traveled pitcher Marcus Stroman won it for the U.S. in 2017.
