00:05 Soto and Judge are now the favorites over on Fandle to win the MVP,
00:08 followed by Bobby Wood Jr.
00:10 But naturally, it's truthfully Soto carried them during this time.
00:15 But this is a heck of a list for American League MVP.
00:18 And honestly, I don't think that this is settled yet.
00:19 >> No, there's still gonna be a lot of jockeying for position here,
00:24 especially if the Astros can put together any sort of serious run.
00:28 I think Kyle Tucker is someone to very much take seriously.
00:31 Anytime you have teammates at the top of the board,
00:33 you're worried they're gonna kind of split the vote.
00:36 But with the Yankees, it's interesting for a team that's playing so well and
00:41 doing so well, those two guys really stand out offensively
00:46 as the guys who are carrying them.
00:48 And with Judge, it's more so the power department.
00:51 He's getting on base too, whereas Soto's been a little bit more complete.
00:54 So it'll be really interesting to see how that continues.
00:58 But especially with some of the other players on that roster,
01:01 there's certainly injury concerns, already dealing with some injuries.
01:05 So will they be able to keep it up remains to be seen.
01:07 And if they don't, and if the Orioles pass them, that could sort of pave the way for
01:12 Gunnar Henderson to get up there and above them.
01:14 But yeah, Aaron Judge catching fire, we know what that means.
01:18 He's gonna go off, and Soto's really been doing it all year as the steady hand.
01:21 So I would think between those two, he has a little bit of the upper hand in that
01:25 regard, but it's gonna be a really fascinating race, not only for MVP, but
01:30 obviously in that division.
01:32 And I think the rest of the summer is obviously gonna tell us a lot about that.
