Your guess is as good as mine so let’s just guess.
If you thought this year’s AL MVP race was going to be close, let me introduce you to the National League MVP race.
26-year old Yelich has been red hot all season, leading the NL in OPS (1.000), WAR (7.4), slugging percentage (.598), total bases (343). A tough act to follow, unless you’re Nolan Arenado, who let the entire National League in home runs with 38, and is fresh off of a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger win.
Oh, and lest we forget Matt Carpenter, with his 5.3 bWAR that’s tied for first among players and leading players with an OPS+ of 162.
Moral of the story: at this point, it’s anyone’s race. Who do you think could seal the deal for the MVP title?
