Gambling: Dodgers' Gavin Lux Favored to Win NL Rookie of the Year Award

The National League Rookie of the Year Award isn't named for Jackie Robinson for nothing, pally. And the Dodgers' franchise hasn't been responsible for a record 18 ROY winners by some stroke of luck.

A stroke of the bat -- or 600 of them -- sure. Two hundred or 300 innings? Yes. And according to the oddsmakers at SportsBetting, Los Angeles is primed to add another trinket to the display case in 2020.

And the award goes to ... Gavin Lux. Or at least that's the thinking as of March 3. L.A.'s second baseman is listed at +350, subject to change. Colorado rookie Brendan Rodgers and San Diego's MacKenzie Gore are next (at +800). Odds for Dodgers' Brusdar Graterol (+5000), Josiah Gray (+6600) and Dustin May (+1000) are listed as well.

The Tigers' Michael Kopech is favored to win the American League award (+300). Detroit's Casey Mize is next (+450), followed by Luis Robert of the White Sox (+600).
