Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had his long-awaited MLB explosion last season, and now appears as the heavy favorite in betting.
According to the bookmaker Basrtool Sportsbook, the 23-year-old slugger has sensational numbers that were second only to Japan’s Shohei Ohtani in the American League. Now, he commands the list of players that are most likely to finish the regular round at the head of the towed with +725.
In addition, the Toronto team player is also the top favorite to win the American League MVP award, according to the same bookmaker.
Being the favorite of bettors in various offensive categories should not be a surprise for the Dominican since this is a player who in 2022 should finish establishing himself as a Superstar of the Major Leagues. In addition, he is part of a lineup full of good hitters, who are sure to give him many opportunities to bring runs to the plate during the regular round.
As for Rafael Devers, he is in the second position of this list with a +1100, which is largely due to the fact that he will now form with Trevor Story one of the most fearsome pairs in MLB.
Mike Trout, who returns to action with the Angels after overcoming his physical problems, completes the Top 3 of players that are most likely to lead MLB with +1200.
Reviewing the first ten positions, other Latinos that appear are: José Abreu (+1300), Juan Soto (+1300), Fernando Tatís Jr. (1,300), Yordan Álvarez (1,300), and Salvador Pérez (+1500).

Vladimir Guerrero’s son did not stop batting throughout the regular round of 2021 so as to end up registering impressive numbers that allowed him to break important records for a player of his age.
“Vladdy” finished last season with a .311 average and an OBP of .401, with 48 home runs and 111 RBIs.
We’re talking about a young player who represents the present and future of Major League Baseball, and his performance will be key in the Blue Jays’ aspirations to fight for the pennant of the ever-contested American League East Division.
