Soto, Alvarez Favorites to Lead Majors in RBI at +750

Many players who are in the running for MVP, most home runs and hits are also at the top of the odds board when it comes to RBI. Any contender needs his teammates to get on board so he can cash in runs. Last season, Matt Olson led the league with 139 RBI which was the highest total in a dozen years. Usually a player needs to be around 120 RBI in a season to have a shot at leading the majors and last year only 3 players reached the 110 mark. We’ll take a took at some of the contenders and an ‘out of nowhere’ pick who could surprise at long odds.

Top Picks

Yordan Alvarez, Houston Astros (+750)

Over the course of his career, Yordan Alvarez averaged 128 RBI over a 162-game pace. In

482 games he’s compiled 380 RBI. Since entering the league the Astros slugger has been one

of the most productive hitters in baseball. It doesn’t hurt that his team has one of the deepest

rosters in the game. His biggest obstacle, staying healthy. In the last 3 seasons, he’s missed

an average of 31 games. For Alvarez to take this title he’ll have to set a career mark not only in

RBI but alo games played.

Aaron Judge, New York Yankees (+900)

After his MVP season in 2022 injuries plagued Aaron Judge last season yet he still managed to

post 75 RBI in 106 games, which works out to about 114 for a full 162-game pace. Biggest

thing for Judge is he has to play at least 150 games to have a legitimate shot. He has said

during the off-season he’ll have to manage his toe injury from last year making this a risky play.

The addition of Juan Soto should help as the slugger likely will hit in front of Judge. And Soto

can get on base often, not just with his bat. He’s led the majors the last 3 seasons in walks

drawn. That’s great news for Judge.

Matt Olson, Atlanta Braves (+950)

After leading the majors in RBI last season with 139 it’s a bit surprising to see Matt Olson with

the seventh best odds. The Braves led baseball in scoring and their lineup hasn’t changed

much. No player has gone back-to-back since 2015-2016 (Nolan Arenado) but for Olson to

have a shot his biggest challenge may come from his own teammates. Atlanta has the deepest

lineup in the league including MVP front runner Ronald Acuna Jr. who could take away potential

RBI from Olson. Still, he should be in contention to repeat.

A Real Longshot With A Shot

Alex Bregman, Houston Astros (+10000)

Alex BregmanThere’s not much to suggest Alex Bregman has a shot at this considering he’s

only gone over 100 RBI twice in his career back in 2018 and 2019. But he has eclipsed the 90

RBI mark the previous two seasons hitting on a very deep Astros lineup. Here’s why he may be

worth taking a shot. The third baseman will be an unrestricted free agent and will be looking for

a big payday on perhaps his last contract. With Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez hitting ahead of

him, maybe he can cash in at big odds.
