00:00On the AL MVP odds, keep in mind people, it's April the 6th right now.
00:04Nobody's separated themselves from the pack where they have 35 home runs.
00:07The next closest guy has three home runs, like we're talking in 1917
00:10with Babe Ruth and the rest of the American League.
00:12Take a look at these numbers on Aaron Judge to win the MVP.
00:16We take a look, right.
00:17Aaron Judge, minus 115, is the biggest first week MVP favorite in DK sports history.
00:22That's a bonus prize there, Tom.
00:24Why?
00:25Because today, right now, on the FanDuel Sportsbook,
00:27Aaron Judge to win this award, minus 175.
00:35Minus 175 is an insane price when we are nine games into the season,
00:40eight games into the season.
00:42And we have to remember, this is, you know, something we've discussed.
00:45It's not as if the season ends on September 30th or whatever it is, October 1st,
00:50and you win the award.
00:51The awards are not announced until the winter meetings at the beginning of December.
00:56You were locking up a minus 155 or minus 175 price for a judge until December.
01:02And I said this to Joe Ranieri yesterday on InGameLive,
01:05because we talked about this market as well.
01:07We can find an Aaron Judge prop today that is minus 175,
01:12and you can cash that bet today or tomorrow and have that amount.
01:17Why do not bet on that?
01:18Do not keep this locked up for the next eight months at a minus 175 price.
01:22That is insane.
01:24Like it's like nobody like roots against like you.
01:26The expectations are a judge is going to be there right in the end,
01:29but it's not about that.
01:30It's a long baseball season.
01:32He takes a pitch off of the forearm or off of the wrist there,
01:35and this is three to four weeks.
01:36He can't win the award at that point.
01:38People are going to pass him by, and that's what we look at.
01:39Unless he runs out to a, I have a 15 home run lead by the time I get injured,
01:43and I'll see you in the next three weeks at this point.
01:45Minus 175 through roughly one week of the season is insane.
01:50Now, also, we could talk about insanity being
01:51Shohei Ohtani at a plus 125 price in the National League.
01:54Have we ever saw, Tom, the leaders in the clubhouse this far ahead,
01:59this early in the season is pure insanity.
02:02No, and even if a player like Judge does miss three weeks,
02:05and then we'd be comparing him to Bobby Witt or Gunnar Henderson,
02:08at this point, this is what would happen.
02:09They're going to say, Judge played fewer games, but his OPS is higher.
02:13His war is higher.
02:14His this is, oh, Bobby Witt does this more.
02:16Bobby Witt does that more.
02:17So now we're leaving things up to,
02:18I'm not going to say chance,
02:20but now we're leaving up a market until December that you have minus odds on?
02:24No.
