The Atlanta Braves have the best record in baseball and are the betting favorites in the latest World Series odds. 
While the team as a whole is as deep and balanced as you'll find, a big reason for their success has been the play of 25-year-old outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr., who is also the runaway favorite to win the 2023 NL MVP Award according to recent MLB odds.
A power-speed combo, Acuna has missed a lot of time due to injuries over the last two seasons but is finally living up to his sky-high potential. As a result, there are...

The Atlanta Braves have the best record in baseball and are the betting favorites in the latest World Series odds. 
While the team as a whole is as deep and balanced as you'll find, a big reason for their success has been the play of 25-year-old outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr., who is also the runaway favorite to win the 2023 NL MVP Award according to recent MLB odds.
A power-speed combo, Acuna has missed a lot of time due to injuries over the last two seasons but is finally living up to his sky-high potential. As a result, there are markets offering the option to bet on his chances to join the elusive 40-40 club. What was, as recently as two weeks ago, projected as a long shot, Acuna's odds to hit the 40-40 have tightened considerably.
Let's take a closer look at Acuna's season so far and whether he has a realistic shot at one of baseball's rarest accomplishments.

Just how rare is a 40-40 season?
Before we look at Acuna's season specifically, it's important to dive into just how infrequent this accomplishment has been over the years. For example, Mike Trout — a player almost universally considered the best baseball's had to offer over the last 10-plus years — has stolen 40 bases and hit 40 homers, but never in the same season.
Here is the complete list of players who have recorded both in a single campaign: Year
Player
Home runs
Stolen bases 2006
Alfonso Soriano
46
41 1998
Alex Rodriguez
42
46 1996
Barry Bonds

40 1988
Jose Canseco

40 That's it. Four players in the history of the game have done it. Some, like Trout, have had 40-homer seasons and 40-steals seasons in intervening years. And others have come agonizingly close with Matt Kemp's 2011 season being the most notable in relatively recent memory. Kemp, the former Los Angeles Dodgers star, stole exactly 40 bases that year and hit 39 long balls. Kemp even went yard in his final game that season to cut the deficit to a single dinger.
Outside the inner circle of four who have joined the 40-40 club, there have only been 10 instances where a player has notched 40 in one category and 35 or more in the other during one season: Willie Mays, Bobby Bonds (twice), Eric Davis, Howard Johnson, Barry Bonds, Vladimir Guerrero, Soriano, Carlos Beltran, Kemp, and, yes, Acuna. In 2019, his second season in the majors, Acuna clobbered 41 home runs and swiped 37 bases. Best MLB bonuses

Acuna hit the ground running and has already stolen an NL-leading 39 bases through 83 games. Only Oakland A's outfielder Esteury Ruiz has more stolen bases across MLB with 42 but he's only gone deep once.
Some of that added success can be attributed to the larger bags introduced to MLB this season as well as rules related to pitchers only being able to throw over to first base twice per at-bat without successfully picking a runner off. 
He will almost certainly cross the 40-steals milestone off...
