00:00Most would think, well, who was the MVP last year?
00:02Well, it's Aaron Judge.
00:03Who's the favorite this year?
00:04It's not Aaron Judge.
00:05How about that?
00:06It's Bobby Wood Jr. at a plus 280 price.
00:09A lot of people on this network were saying,
00:11like, oh, Aaron Judge is always gonna be
00:13that MVP favorite here at the Fans of the Sportsbook.
00:15Not the case here.
00:16Do you agree Bobby Wood Jr. should be the favorite
00:18for the AL MVP, or should it be Aaron Judge?
00:23Well, Aaron Judge will always have to be
00:26in a conversation, provided he plays enough games, right?
00:29I mean, that's gonna be it.
00:30Now, are we gonna see a huge drop-off
00:33with Soto not batting behind him?
00:36Ah, that we'll find out here
00:39if guys are not willing to pitch to him.
00:41But listen, as long as he plays enough games
00:45and he's got the possibility of hitting, you know,
00:4850-plus home runs in a year, driving in 120-plus RBI,
00:52yes, he's gonna hit 300.
00:54I mean, the problem is, is he gonna play enough games?
00:57Is he gonna run into a wall
00:59and stub his toe again?
01:00Lot of question marks there for him.
01:02But the one thing we know about Bobby Wood
01:05is that he is, from a WRC-plus,
01:08from a stolen base perspective,
01:10singles, doubles, even the home runs,
01:12different kind of player, but smaller market.
01:15I think it's judges to lose,
01:17but it wouldn't shock me at all
01:19if Bobby Wood Jr. is your MVP.
01:23Not gonna be doing a double-take here in the AL MVP race.
01:26Maybe Joe Friese can do some work here behind the scenes,
01:28but I'm just like scanning the board quickly.
01:30And I'd have to go far to find Mike Trout at 16-1.
01:34There's no way he was hovering around 16-1
01:36at the beginning of spring training.
01:38Like, I know he's having a decent spring training
01:39and we're anticipating him being healthy
01:41and maybe there's a shot, but Trout now at 16-1
01:43because he's one of those players I was trying to look down,
01:45like, oh, I wonder where he can get him.
01:4750-1, 60-1, 70-1, he's 16-1.
01:49And I don't think he opened up at, let's just say,
01:52when the odds came out for the Fanville betting here.
01:54He did, so I'm getting, that's crazy.
01:57I like Trout, 16-1, no shot.
01:5960-1, give me it, because you know as well as I do,
02:02he's gonna slide in the second base
02:04after hitting seven home runs
02:05in the first two weeks of the season
02:07and be out for six more weeks at this point.
02:08I can't bet that.
02:09But if we are looking down the board,
02:11and down the board, I mean,
02:12after Bobby Woods Jr. and Aaron Judge,
02:14who has your attention, Joe, in this odds market
02:17here at the Fanville Sportsbook?
02:20Well, I think Vlad Guerrero is real interesting, isn't he,
02:22since it is a contract year in the American League East
02:27and he's a guy that's certainly gonna have
02:29some motivation here.
02:31He's a guy that can certainly be an RBI leader.
02:34He can be even a hits leader.
02:37I mean, there is, he has got all the talent in the world,
02:40provided that he can stay in that lineup.
02:43But I love guys that have motivation here.
02:46And this organization, he'd love nothing more
02:48to stick it to them and make their life miserable.
02:50Because if you didn't sign him to this point,
02:53if he has an MVP caliber year here,
02:56well, he's gonna love that.
02:58I think he's worth a shot at that price here.
03:01Why not?
