The AL and NL Most Valuable Player Awards show is about to start on MLB Network. In the AL, Jose Altuve, Mookie Betts, and Mike Trout vie for the award. In the NL, Kris Bryant, rookie Corey Seager, and Daniel Murphy are up for the trophy.
My guess is that Bryant will win the NL Award easily. Trout should also win the award easily in the AL, but there seems to be some consensus that Betts will win. If you average together fWAR and bWAR, Trout comes out at 10 WAR, Betts at 8.7. Trout wins the offensive side of WAR easily, while Betts comes out on top on the defensive side. I would pick Trout, but we’ll see how the voters go.
The voters over the last decade seem to be moving away from the traditional stats, but the AL Cy Young vote yesterday made the writers look like they were back sliding. We’ll see if that is true with this vote as well.
