One of the betting games you can play in the upcoming baseball tournament is the MLB futures bets. These are mostly played in the entire MLB showdown, either gambling for the best team or players. Below are the top ten most influential MLB players to look out for this season. 

Mike Trout 

Mike Trout has been playing for the Los Angeles Angels since 2011. In his entire MLB career, he was considered as a strong contender for the All-Star and MVP awards in2012. Trout carries an incredible MLB record as the best hitter. During the last four seasons, Trout recorded 146 home runs and 87 stolen bases. 

Mookie Betts

Mookie Betts is currently holding a right fielder position for the Los Angeles Dodgers. This is his second year with the Dodgers after joining in 2019. He reigned as MVP in 2018 when he’s still with the Boston Red Sox. Mookie Betts will be a huge Dodgers gain if he plays great in the upcoming MLB season. 

Christian Yelich 

2018 was a great year for Christian Yelich to show MLB fans that he can slay in the baseball field. Yelich has been playing as an outfielder for the Milwaukee Brewers since 2018. Last season, his Wins Above Replacement (WAR) reached a 7.1 rating, which comprises 40 stolen bases and 69 home runs. 

Cody Bellinger 

Cody Bellinger joined the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2017 as a first baseman. He had the most impressive WAR last MLB season, tallying a career-high rating of 9.0. Also, as he took the rookie role with the Dodgers upon joining, Bellinger left all the fans in awe after recording 15 stolen bases and 47 home runs. 

Alex Bregman

Along with his impressive performance last year, he was able to complete 41 home runs with 1.015 OPS. If he exceeds that record in the upcoming season, his futures bet odds value might increase overwhelmingly. 

Gerrit Cole 

The New York Yankees aren’t getting left behind as Gerrit Cole takes the top spot for the best MLB players in the field this season. Positioned as a pitcher, Cole ended last season with a 6.9 WAR.
