00:00let's hit the mvp market in the american league peter we're uh wide open you know i mean like
00:04with judge going out like this thing is anybody's and we saw nick kurtz hit a couple of home runs
00:09i think this guy's gonna get super hot he's in the mix ben rice is in the mix bobby witt
00:14is not
00:15even the favorite anymore it's jordan alvarez this is an incredible race it's an incredible race and
00:20when you take judge out just like you would take let's say shohei otani out in the national league
00:25it really becomes anybody's game but when i look at those current odds i find myself questioning
00:31who on that odds list is going to be on a really good team and what i mean by that
00:36is
00:37normally the mvp voters are at least going to lean towards a team in the playoff hunt or a team
00:43you
00:43know winning their own division and i look at the houston astros and i see them in fourth place in
00:48their division i look at the royals and bobby witt jr and see them in last place and arguably the
00:53worst
00:53division in all of major league baseball i look at ben rice he's on a great yankees team but he's
00:58falling behind in the war leaderboards because his defense isn't even close to on par and
01:04offensively he still lags a little bit behind yordan alvarez and then i look at nick kurtz again
01:09in third place in the american league west i look at julio rodriguez he could potentially be on an
01:14american league west winning mariners team however he just lags behind offensively than a lot of these
01:21guys so who do you really key in on it's really tough to know so when there's not a clear
01:27-cut
01:27answer i'm gonna go with the leader in the clubhouse and i think those odds are slightly
01:31wrong i think it absolutely should be bobby witt jr's award right now yordan alvarez is putting
01:36up prolific prolific offensive numbers but he plays a bad left field in dh right bobby witt jr is the
01:43best
01:43defender in all of sports and i don't even think bobby witt jr has gotten fully going offensively yet
01:49so for me the pick would be bobby witt jr especially if he is not the favorite however
01:54at those odds it's just not that appetizing of a price so right now i'm waiting but if he needed
02:00a pick right now it would definitely be bobby witt jr
02:02you
