00:00 I think it's still too early to say it's a four-player race.
00:05 I mean, we still are just in May and anything can happen.
00:08 And so certainly Rushman or anyone else outside of that can
00:11 jump in but to me Tucker is the jump here where all of a sudden
00:15 his numbers by the way are going to look as good or better than
00:18 anyone else on this list.
00:20 It's just that his team has not played.
00:21 Well, his team is not played.
00:24 Well, and I mean that'll probably be the issue in the end,
00:27 right is is there going to be teams?
00:29 I mean, there are a couple teams in the American League who
00:32 could do like the Yankees could win a hundred games.
00:36 The Orioles could win 95 games, you know, we'll see what ends
00:40 up happening there.
00:41 I mean to me it feels like this is just the season of the
00:44 Orioles like me and maybe that is my own perspective shading
00:48 it in the American League, but I think in the end they will
00:51 be the story.
00:52 They just called up another one of their kids yesterday Kyle
00:54 Stowers.
00:55 So I feel like getting some the good plus money on on Gunnar
01:00 Henderson on Rutschman is is an a pretty interesting way to
01:04 bet these markets because I just feel like in the end the Orioles
01:08 are going to be getting multiple awards at the end of the
01:11 season.
01:11 Maybe and maybe I'll be wrong.
01:13 I mean particularly if the Yankees win a hundred games and
01:15 I'll definitely be wrong, but that is just sort of my feeling
01:18 leading into it.
01:19 All right, let's take a look at the National League MVP where
01:21 Mookie Betts is as big a favorite in May as you're ever
01:23 going to see plus 165.
01:25 Otani is three and a half to one DH only with Betts in play
01:29 kind of hard to see that happening to be honest with you.
01:31 Then you have Contreras of Milwaukee's had a great year
01:34 Tatis 12 to 1.
01:36 I still think Harper is in the mix here at 12 to 1 as well.
01:39 And I look it is not been an Acuna season like we saw last
01:43 year.
01:44 So he's gone from about four or five to one to 25 to one and
01:48 I suppose he could pick it up at any time.
01:49 Although there's been no indication of that as of yet.
01:52 Yeah, I look if you're going to make one bet on this market
01:56 surrounding the canoe Junior and it's not particularly close
01:58 Ronald Acuna Junior could wake up tomorrow Craig and in a
02:03 week he could hit five home runs steal three.
02:07 I get just like we know beyond a shadow of a doubt if he's
02:09 not injured.
02:10 He is one of the five best players have behind William
02:14 Contreras and National League MVP.
02:16 I mean, come on like let's be let's be let's be a rational
02:20 market there.
02:20 They're really how could William Contreras win NL MVP.
02:24 He just like he is ineligible.
02:26 I'm sorry.
02:27 It's just no no no disrespect to the Contreras family, but
02:30 you're not going to happen.
02:32 Yeah.
02:32 (upbeat music)
