00:00Looking at the American League MVP odds, too, George, I cannot.
00:05But I mean, Alvarez is minus 110.
00:08Like, so there's no judge.
00:10And it feels like this market has no idea what to do with itself.
00:13So is he really at this point?
00:16Should he be this price?
00:19I think it's I don't think we're giving enough to my namesake, Nick Kurtz, who's really over the last month
00:23is hitting.
00:23I mean, I know people are going to downgrade him a little bit because, you know, he plays in Sacramento
00:28and over the games in Vegas where he took advantage of that as well.
00:31And I get it.
00:32It's sort of like the old Colorado Rockies, right, with Todd Hilton and Larry Walker, Bichette.
00:38We would downgrade them a little bit because they played in the in Coors Field.
00:41So I think the same thing with Nick Kurtz here.
00:43But I think Nick Kurtz will give him a run.
00:45The problem is going to be with those two guys, either one making the playoffs, probably not.
00:50You know, I think that kind of, I think that opens it up for somebody maybe to come from behind
00:54in the field there to win it there.
00:56Witt's got the same problem.
00:57Don't think they're making the playoffs if he plays better.
00:59I don't think Ben Rice has that cachet yet to win it for the Yankees.
01:03So I don't think it'll be him.
01:05Right now, I think I would give it to Alvarez as well.
01:07But I don't think Nick Kurtz is getting enough love here.
01:09And I think, you know, given a couple of weeks, he may have passed Alvarez as far as that favor
01:13is concerned.
01:13But the fact that neither one's going to make the playoffs or unlikely to make the playoffs, in my mind,
01:18hurts them both a little bit.
