Once again, online gambling punters will find a wide variety of odds regarding baseball's MVP and Cy Young awards at Sportsbook.com. Odds on Major League Baseball's end of season MVP and Cy Young Awards are always a popular bet online. As the playoffs now start and players focus on team efforts, a few standouts will pick up some personal trophies, too.

As far as the National league is concerned, oddsmakers are placing the Atlanta Braves' Andrew Jones at 5-8 followed by the St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols at 13-10 for the NL MVP title.

Also, the Cardinals have another star in the spot light, pitcher Chris Carpenter is favored at 5-9 for the Cy Young award. Also, Dontrelle Willis of the Marlins is being posted at 7-5 odds of winning the award.

In the American League, David Ortiz is again in the running for the AL MVP after losing out last year to Vladimir Guerrero. Ortiz has 2-1 odds, but the clear favorite is Yankees Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod) at 5-13.

In the West AL division, Los Angeles pitcher Bartolo Colon has odds at 1-2, placing him as the AL's favorite for the Cy Young award with a league leading 21 wins. Yankees closer Mariano Rivera is second at 8-5. Rivera had another strong season with 43 saves.

At the end of the season, many online gambling players feel that it usually comes down to the Red Sox and Yankees. We know this because of the out pouring of wagering on the two teams.
