00:00rookie of the year our guy and the all-star starter at the shortstop spot Jacob Wilson of

00:06the Athletics back as the favorite plus 110 should have been the case the entirety of the time if you

00:10got Wilson at a better number when Cam Smith of the Astros moved slightly in front last week

00:15kudos to you even Nick Kurtz of the A's should have a shorter price but third bets best at plus

00:23350 Josh Hader for the Strohs favorite to win reliever of the year hasn't been a great year

01:23interesting one will be the rookies because you can have a big week that can certainly change up the

01:29let's just say the scales of change on that but for me it's up in the air the rookie is up in the air

01:34the rest of them seem pretty decent at that point but you see the price points heavy favorite on the

01:39grom heavy favorite on AJ Hinch
