00:03National League MVP race, if there still is one, Shohei Otani joining the 40-40 club

00:10over the weekend at minus 2300.

00:12Francisco Lindor does have the second best price for the Mets, Craig, at 5-1.

00:17Obviously, the odds say this is over, but the reason it could be a conversation is because

00:23Shohei Otani is a designated hitter.

00:26We have never seen a non-positional player win an MVP, but in your mind, is the race

00:32already done?

00:33Yeah, it's over.

00:35I think you saw most of the books take down Caitlin Clark's odds to win Rookie of the

00:39Year, and I think you're going to see the Otani MVP odds get shut down pretty soon here.

00:44I mean, 50 home runs, 50 stolen bases, Ben, I mean, that's just unheard of.

00:49I mean, it's never happened in Major League Baseball, so that's going to happen for him.

00:52The good thing about Lindor is it's given him some nice attention and some pub because

00:55he's a really good player, Hall of Fame trajectory, but Otani's the MVP, open and shut case.
