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\u2019ll take a took at some of the contenders and an \u2018out of nowhere\u2019 pick who could surprise at long odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Top Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yordan Alvarez, Houston Astros (+750)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the course of his career, Yordan Alvarez averaged 128 RBI over a 162-game pace. In<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>482 games he\u2019s compiled 380 RBI. Since entering the league the Astros slugger has been one<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>of the most productive hitters in baseball. It doesn\u2019t hurt that his team has one of the deepest<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>rosters in the game. His biggest obstacle, staying healthy. In the last 3 seasons, he\u2019s missed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>an average of 31 games. For Alvarez to take this title he\u2019ll have to set a career mark not only in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RBI but alo games played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Aaron Judge, New York Yankees (+900)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After his MVP season in 2022 injuries plagued Aaron Judge last season yet he still managed to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>post 75 RBI in 106 games, which works out to about 114 for a full 162-game pace. Biggest<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>thing for Judge is he has to play at least 150 games to have a legitimate shot. He has said<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>during the off-season he\u2019ll have to manage his toe injury from last year making this a risky play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The addition of Juan Soto should help as the slugger likely will hit in front of Judge. And Soto<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>can get on base often, not just with his bat. He\u2019s led the majors the last 3 seasons in walks<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>drawn. That\u2019s great news for Judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Matt Olson, Atlanta Braves (+950)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After leading the majors in RBI last season with 139 it&#8217;s a bit surprising to see Matt Olson with<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the seventh best odds. The Braves led baseball in scoring and their lineup hasn\u2019t changed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>much. No player has gone back-to-back since 2015-2016 (Nolan Arenado) but for Olson to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>have a shot his biggest challenge may come from his own teammates. Atlanta has the deepest<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>lineup in the league including MVP front runner Ronald Acuna Jr. who could take away potential<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RBI from Olson. Still, he should be in contention to repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Real Longshot With A Shot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alex Bregman, Houston Astros (+10000)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex BregmanThere\u2019s not much to suggest Alex Bregman has a shot at this considering he\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>only gone over 100 RBI twice in his career back in 2018 and 2019. But he has eclipsed the 90<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RBI mark the previous two seasons hitting on a very deep Astros lineup. Here\u2019s why he may be<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>worth taking a shot. The third baseman will be an unrestricted free agent and will be looking for<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a big payday on perhaps his last contract. With Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez hitting ahead of<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>him, maybe he can cash in at big odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Most RBI in MLB in 2024 Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yordan Alvarez +750<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Juan Soto +750<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shohei Ohtani +800<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pete Alonso +850<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron Judge +900<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Austin Riley +900<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matt Olson +950<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vladimir Guerrero Jr. +1400<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kyle Tucker +2000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rafael Devers +2200<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fernando Tatis Jr. +2200<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manny Machado +2500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freddie Freeman +2500<br>Bryce Harper +2800<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many players who are in the running for MVP, most home runs and hits are also at the top of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":24766,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[136],"tags":[149],"class_list":["post-24765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-mlb"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24765"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24765\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24767,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24765\/revisions\/24767"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
