AL MVP Race

If the Jays win the divison and Astros don't Donaldson wins the MVP save for any sort of super hot streak starting today to end the season. If Astros win the division then Altuve probably wins unless he falls of some sort of cliff

Why does winning the division have anything to do with how dominant a players' performance over a regular season.

Dustin Pedroia won the AL MVP back in 2008, and Jose Altuve is by far having a better season this year.

Trout & Donny didn't exist in 08.

Trout & Donny didn't exist in 08.

 

Yeah, but Grady Sizemore went 30/30 and was far more valuable.

Youkilis and Sizemore were pretty good in 08. Not Trout or JD level obviously.

As well, could have made the case for Longoria if he played in 150-160 games that season, especially with Tampa making the postseason for the first time. In 122 games, he posted a 5.6 WAR.

Don't ask me ask the people voting

When it comes to the Red Sox voters just love to vote for them. I can honestly see Ortiz winning it just cause

[Brownie19]

Of course Buck goes right to Edwin and Ortiz because rbi's matter. Funny thing is they probably both have a great shot at winning it.

[Jonn]

If the Astros miss the playoffs Betts takes it.

[Plat]

Altuve clear front runner right now...Donaldson has hit a wall.
