00:00Now the individual races Donnie following the 4th of July weekend and a
00:07long holiday weekend at that. Aaron Judge still remains the hefty odds-on
00:11favorite to win the AL MVP award if he is even healthy for a majority of the
00:16home stretch in second half of this season he is going to win that MVP award
00:21in my estimation minus 280 well in front of Gunnar Henderson who is having a
00:25great season for Baltimore but still behind Aaron Judge. Tarek Skubal putting
00:30on display yesterday why he is the front-runner for the AL Cy Young Award
00:3513 strikeouts and a Tigers 5-1 victory over the Reds to complete the sweep and
00:40as we shared Donnie breaking down that game Skubal plus 110 Baltimore's Corbin
00:46Burns at plus 230 separated by just over a dollar a large drop-off to Seth Lugo
00:52of the Royals at 14-1 seems to be a two-guy race for the American League
00:56Cy Young hardware. Yeah we're getting separators right now and rightfully so
01:00Tarek Skubal fresh off another dominating performance yesterday you
01:04know he's going to get that bump but also we'll take a look at the Baltimore
01:07Orioles now a few games in first place lead over the New York Yankees in the
01:12AL East Burns is every bit as deserving and this just might come down to once
01:16again who's going to get those extra starts at the end of the season Skubal
01:20still a young pitcher Major League Baseball we don't think Detroit is
01:23going to make the playoffs so in that final three weeks of the season when
01:26they're de facto just playing out the string are you going to allow him to get
01:30those final couple starts here to try to win that award you're gonna say look hey
01:34those awards are gonna come you did enough work here over the summer we're
01:37gonna shut you down for those finals two weeks when Corbin Burns might be
01:40pitching in the final weekend of the of the Major League Baseball season Ben in
01:44enough to win maybe the pennant or become a first-place team entering into
01:48the playoffs and win the AL East that's something keep an eye on getting back to
01:51the MVP race it is Aaron judges to lose right now also that minus 250 is now
01:56turned into a minus 300 price on Aaron judge so it looks like all you're
02:00betting right now in the American League and that MVP races are you thinking that
02:04Aaron judge is going to be healthy what I mean healthy is he could go in an IEL
02:07stint for a week maybe two weeks and still get away with it but you just
02:10can't have that devastating injury that's going to hamper his numbers so if
02:14you're gonna take a flyer on let's just say Gunnar Henderson you're basically
02:17just betting that Aaron judge is going to get hurt at this point because judge
02:21is having a phenomenal season and if the season ended right now it's Aaron judge
02:25in a runaway
