Status quo mostly remains intact atop the AL and NL Rookie of the Year odds boards, though some players have shuffled up.
In particular, Jacob Wilson and Zac Veen are garnering attention in the season's second week.
Here's a look at the MLB odds and who are considered the best options to win their respective ROY awards.

AL Rookie of the Year odds analysis
Kristian Campbell continues to impress for the Boston Red Sox, batting .364/.476/.667 with two home runs, 10 runs scored, and a stolen base through 10 games. Boston has been smart, easing him into the offense by routinely slotting him in the bottom half of the lineup, but that might not last much longer if he maintains his solid play.
But it's not enough yet to give him the keys to the kingdom. While neither Jasson Dominguez nor Cam Smith have found real grooves, Athletics infielder Jacob Wilson is showing everyone why he was a first-round pick (sixth overall) in 2023.
The 23-year-old Wilson is batting .366 and simply puts everything into play. While he has yet to draw a single walk, he's also only struck out TWICE in 41 plate appearances (4.9%). To put that into perspective, only Luis Arraez finished with a better strikeout rate among qualified hitters in 2024. Wilson doesn't boast much power, but he's already hit two home runs, which suggests at least a little more pop than Arraez.
Books are taking notice, as he's gone from as high as +1200 last week to no longer than +550 now.

NL Rookie of the Year odds analysis
The National League remains entirely up for grabs. If anyone has a good run of games, it might be enough to claim favorite status. Could that be Colorado Rockies outfielder Zac Veen? When Veen was drafted ninth overall in 2020, he was highly touted as a power-speed combo with an emphasis on SPEED. This guy can run wild and perhaps Coors Field will boost his power.
But when was the last time a Rockies hitting prospect really broke out? Even useful pieces like Ezequiel Tovar haven't set the world on fire with offense, and Brendan Rodgers was a total bust despite being considered one of baseball's best prospects for years.
Veen's hit very well in a small sample to start the season at Triple-A, though. He's hitting .387/.472/.677 with a home run and a stolen base in eight games while only striking out in 16.2% of his plate appearances. Again, that's a very small sample size, but he has massive upside if he can put it all together, and while DraftKings may have over-adjusted his line, FanDuel still has him at 20/1, which could evaporate as soon as tonight.

Past Rookie of the Year winners
Previous AL RoY winners
Although all players have an equal chance of winning the AL Rookie of the Year Award, the honor has been claimed disproportionately by outfielders since its inception in 1949. Outfielders have 24 victories compared to 17 for pitchers and 17 for shortstops. Catchers are bringing up the rear with just two ROY victories over the past 72 years.

Previous NL RoY winners
No franchise has won more Rookie of the Year awards than the Dodgers. "The Blue Crew" have claimed 18 RoY trophies dating back to the club's early days in Brooklyn.
However, unlike the AL — where the West has been the recent home of the top rookies — the NL East has housed five of the last 12 RoYs, with a mix of outfielders, infielders, starting pitchers, and even a reliever.
