2024 MLB odds: Braves' Ronald Acuna Jr. favored to lead MLB in hits

Reigning 2023 hits leader and National League MVP Ronald Acuna Jr. sits atop the hits leader oddsboard heading into the MLB regular season.

Acuna is coming off a historic year in which he was unanimously named NL MVP after he became the first player in MLB history to record 40-plus home runs and 70-plus stolen bases in the same season.

Including the 40-70 season, Acuna also led the MLB in hits (217), runs (149), stolen bases (73), on-base percentage (.416) and OPS (1.012). These accomplishments earned him the top spot on MLB Network’s top 100 list.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez follows Acuna in the odds after having an outstanding 2023.

For the second consecutive year, Arraez was named one of MLB’s batting champions with a batting average of .354 and 203 hits to his name.

Arraez is just ahead of Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman on the board.

Freeman is not a new name to the list, as he most recently won the title in 2022 (199) and finished second to Acuna in 2023 with 211 hits.

Here are the latest odds from FanDuel heading into the regular season.
