00:00The knock on Otani I would have thought in winning this award would be a being a
00:12DH because you don't get any bonus points for fielding. The reality with
00:21Otani is due to the rest of the field it does not matter because last year's
00:30race highlighted Ronald Acuna jr. and Mookie Betts and Acuna the preseason
00:37favorite is out with a torn ACL and Mookie Betts his injury that's going to
00:42sideline him for weeks is going to allow Otani to make up any gap that would have

01:47if they're projected to finish with the better record still at this point and
01:50also do they have the better record entirely because of Bryce Harper or is
01:55that maybe more to do with the pitching at the end of the day what we're looking
01:58at right now for me is Shohei Otani feeling runaway style and that minus
02:06110 is a number that's only I feel only going to get away from us because while
02:13I believe that minus 110 in June on an MVP can be a strong number it's not the
02:23strongest MVP number that's Aaron judges minus 130 and I think that Aaron judge
02:29is having an otherworldly season anybody does because he is
