26 Feb
Summary
- Stephen Vogt won the AL Manager of the Year award twice.
- Dan Wilson of the Mariners is the current favorite.
- Alex Cora is a strong contender at +700 odds.
Stephen Vogt, who clinched the AL Manager of the Year award for two consecutive seasons, has established a formidable benchmark. As the 2026 Major League Baseball season is set to commence on March 25, attention turns to the Manager of the Year odds.
Dan Wilson of the Seattle Mariners emerges as the early favorite, having finished third in last year's voting. Vogt and Schneider are tied at +650, reflecting their past successes.
Several managers of teams expected to contend for the playoffs are also in the running. These include Alex Cora of the Boston Red Sox and AJ Hinch of the Detroit Tigers, with Cora having placed fourth and fifth in previous voting.
Joe Espada of the Houston Astros is listed at +2500, presenting a potential longshot bet for those who believe the team might exceed expectations. Aaron Boone of the New York Yankees, often under scrutiny, could also be a value pick at +2200 if the Yankees dominate their division.
Alex Cora is specifically backed at +700, with the expectation that the Red Sox will have another strong performance in Boston, supported by the voters' evident respect for him.
