00:00The national league mvp odds entering 2025 for most of last year

00:06Did shohei otani win it last year? He did right never mind. Don't even take that back

00:10Shohei otani won nl mvp a season ago

00:14It wasn't even a starting pitcher for the la dodger shohei otani who has won

00:29In the nl is booked as your national league mvp favorite at plus

00:35155 brs outside. Oh

00:39What do you got

00:43What happened

00:48Hey, all right, so hey look i'm like in this band just quit the show at this point

00:52No big deal mvp odds. Maybe he's upset about shohei otani's plus 155 price, but let's get to the crux of the argument here

00:59plus

01:01155 right plus 155 for shohei otani

01:04All you're doing right now is betting in that market that shohei otani is going to stay active for the season. That's it

01:10That's all the bet is if shohei otani plays and he pitches somewhat

01:15Average to what we know he can do and does his average at the plate?

01:18He is going to win the mvp because nobody else can do what he can do ben period

01:24Brs. He took the words right out of my mouth. Even as I was frozen probably looking something like show

01:31That for just a second. My question was going to be outside of an injury if shohei otani even starts

01:3810 games on the mound this year could anything keep him from winning the award termed most valuable player

01:45More than likely not it feels like a cheat code because it is a cheat code at major league baseball

01:52It is a cheat code and rightfully so because mvp is most valuable player a guy that can pitch and hit

01:57It's not like the guys are saying. Hey, you know what?

01:58They're gonna give me the sixth inning long relief when we're down eight runs

02:02I'm that type of pitcher. No, you are arguably one of the best pitchers in the sport

02:07And then we go well, what can he do with the play? Oh, no, he's the best hitter in the sport

02:10You say well, okay

02:11So he pitches at an elite level and he hits at elite level like honestly like shohei otani next year. Let's just say

02:19275 at the plate

02:2130 home runs 88 rbi and on the mound

02:2510 and 7 with an era of 3 5. He's the mvp like that's not a sensational pitching year

02:31It's not a sensational hitting year, but it's the same guy doing that here

02:34So that's what when I look at that price as I was explaining the plus 155

02:38You're just betting that otani is healthy for the season and doesn't miss 60 games
