Fellow A's rookie Nick Kurtz, who had odds longer than +4000 in mid-June, is now the overwhelming 2025 AL Rookie of the Year favorite. Wilson, meanwhile, was placed on the injured list with a fractured right forearm on Tuesday. This thing is a runaway.

Coming off of a historic game on Friday night in which he became the first Major League Baseball rookie to hit four home runs, the general public has been introduced to Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz. This is following the 22-year-old Kurtz being named the AL Player of the Week. The betting market has taken notice as well.

The Rookie of the Year favorite tied multiple single-game, all-time records for home runs and total bases in a game.
