00:00It does appear that the MVP in the National League is sort of an open and shut case. I've made
00:04my statement here. I think it's ridiculous, but okay, fine. P. Crow Armstrong is minus 1100 to
00:12currently win the National League MVP. Shohei Ohtani is plus 650, this despite pitching and
00:19hitting in Major League Baseball. And, you know, Ohtani did not end up with 200 innings or even
00:25150 innings this season, but he was great when he was on the mound. But at this point,
00:32I can't sit here, Tom, and say, you know, invest that 100 to win you back 650 on Ohtani. It
00:38just
00:38seems like the odds makers have made up their mind here. It really has. And it really seems that way.
00:45You know, what Ohtani does is absolutely unbelievable. And, you know, we alluded to it
00:50earlier in the show. Some of it's just timing. And what you mentioned really, you know, stuck
00:56with me. It's like if Ohtani had just pitched this way in July, August, September, we'd be having a
01:01different conversation, right? Like last year, he started the year not pitching. He came back
01:06and it was absolutely unbelievable. If he had a sub, what was it? A sub one ERA, like a 0
01:10.83 ERA
01:11through X amount of first starts. If he had that now, we'd be having a completely different
01:15conversation. And if Pete Crow Armstrong was this on fire to start the season, but cooled
01:20off as he started the season very slow, we'd be in a different world. It'd be Ohtani minus
01:2410,000, not just minus 1100. So I think Pete Crow Armstrong will win just because of where
01:31we are in the ebbs and flows of the MLB season.
