Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber enters the 2026 MLB All-Star Game as the betting favorite to take home the MVP award.
Schwarber secured the MVP trophy in last year’s All-Star Game, hitting three home runs on as many swings to lift the National League team to a win in the first tiebreaking swing-off in MLB history. Schwarber became the first DH to win the award and the second player in Phillies history to do so.

Who Will Win the All-Star Game MVP in 2026?
Schwarber enters the All-Star Game as the betting favorite to win the MVP award in front of his home fans at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. His +1200 odds suggest an implied probability of 7.69%.
It’s clear that Schwarber deserves a boost in this environment. He performed well in last night’s Home Run Derby, losing to St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker in the finals. The crowd gave Schwarber some extra juice as a power hitter.
As of the All-Star break, Schwarber paces all MLB players with 32 home runs. He is at -165 in the latest MLB home run leader odds market at BetMGM after entering the year at +800.
Schwarber is in great form entering this game, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he won the MVP award for the second year in a row.
However, I see no reason to back the betting favorite in a volatile market, especially when Schwarber is a designated hitter and can only impress voters at the plate.
As a result, I’d prefer to target strong two-way players instead.
For the American League, Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. stands out at +2500 in his first year as an All-Star starter. He’s the best shortstop in the sport, leading all AL players with a fWAR of 4.6.
The only player with a higher fWAR than Witt is Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, who is also someone I’d target in this market at +2500. He’s emerged as a legitimate MVP challenger to Shohei Ohtani, so I could see him rising to the occasion in this spot for the National League squad.
