Online sportsbook Bovada has released new odds on which baseball players are favorites to win MVP and Cy Young awards this season. Early? Sure. But that's kinda the point. So when Willin Rosario is running away with the NL MVP in September, you can brag about betting on him when the odds were 33-to-1.

A few thoughts here:
• Whether any of them besides Verlander have a chance, it's neat to see four Detroit Tigers starters on the list. If you're a fan from another AL Central city, feel free to replace "neat" with another word of your choosing.
• That's cute that Josh Hamilton is on the AL MVP list.
• Anybody else think Yu Darvish should be No. 1 fave instead of Buchholz? People outside of Toronto, I mean. We know what they think.
• Speaking of Toronto: Is R.A. Dickey on the list just as a courtesy to the reigning winner? Or as a trolling of Blue Jays fans? Anybody taking that 100-to-1 bet?
• Who's betting on John Buck for NL MVP? Show yourselves!
Baseball is back. Don't miss anything.
