• Bichette is currently listed on the Kansas City Royals 10-Day IL

• Aaron Judge leads the league in Batting Average, Slugger Percentage, and in OPS

With the MLB slowly transitioning into a pitchers league over the past few years, being able to make contact at a consistent rate is vital as it gives your offense a major edge against the rest of the competition. That makes the race for the Hits leader title one of the more exciting ones in the league as it shows who has been able to be a consistent source of offensive production for their team and combat against the best arms in the league on a nightly basis.

MLB Hits Leader Predictions

After suffering an injury on September 6th, Bo Bichette’s absence has allowed Trea Turner to close the gap between the two as the Philadelphia Phillies batter is just two Hits behind the current leader for the most Hits in the league. His consistency has helped him remain in contention as Turner has made contact in seven straight games while averaging over two Hits per game. Should Bichette struggle to round back into form, then expect Turner to win the title.

As for Aaron Judge, the reigning AL MVP is making a valiant effort to claw out of his hole as the New York Yankees batter still leads the league in Batting Average, Slugger Percentage, and in OPS. Unfortunately for Judge, time is not on his side as he is currently 18 Hits back from Bichette for first with less than 15 games remaining in the regular season. Barring an injury to Turner and Bichette, expect Judge to fall just short of winning the Hits leader title.

MLB Hits Leader - My Pick

Freddie Freeman (+2000) at BetMGM

Like Judge, Freddie Freeman will also come up just short of winning the award as an injury he suffered earlier in the year shelved him for too long for him to be able to remain in contention for the title. While the Hits leader award is out of his reach, Freeman will need to continue to play at a very high level as his production will play a key role in the Los Angeles Dodgers ability to win the NL West division title and make another run at the World Series.

How to Bet on the MLB Hits Leader

For a season long bet, limiting the amount of negative variance is key. When betting on the MLB Hits leader, it’s important to look at who excels at making contact at a consistent rate and who has a history of avoiding prolonged cold stretches of play.

A player's availability is also a massive factor to consider when making a season long wager as you want the player you bet on to make as many appearances at the plate as possible to maximize on his chances of winning. Avoid betting on players who have a history of missing some time every year, as well as players who are expected to miss the start of this season.

How to Read MLB Hits Leader Odds

Before making any type of wager, it’s important to know how the listed odds work. If you bet $100 on Freddie Freeman to lead the league in Hits at his preseason odds of +2000, then you would profit $2,000 if he wins his second Hits leader title.

If you wait to see if he gets out to a sizable lead and his updated odds are listed with a minus sign in front of them (-135 for example), then you would need to wager $135 to profit $100. Always line shop between multiple sportsbooks before placing a wager as the odds for the same market can widely vary between each app.

MLB Hits Leader History

The MLB Hits leader title has seen plenty of stars hoist the award over the past few years with the Kansas City Royals Bobby Witt Jr the latest to claim the prestigious hitters title. While Home Runs hog the spotlight, being able to make contact at a consistent rate is more vital than ever before as pitchers continue to add more tools to their disposal to make life harder on batters.

Should Witt Jr carry over his momentum into this season and win his second straight award, then he would be the first player to do so since Trea Turner did it in 2020-2021. As for who has the most Hits in a regular season, Ichiro Suzuki holds the record after generating 262 Hits in his 2004 campaign.
