Ohtani vs. Crow-Armstrong: 2026 NL MVP Odds Shift

With two months remaining in the MLB season, the National League MVP race has tightened significantly between Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani and Chicago Cubs centerfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong.

Ohtani, who was previously an astronomical favorite, has seen his odds drop to -130 against Crow-Armstrong, who leads baseball in Wins Above Replacement (WAR) at 6.5 compared to Ohtani's 6.0.

Despite recent struggles on the mound and knee discomfort, Ohtani remains the slight betting favorite. The editor suggests "voter fatigue" is less of a factor in baseball, favoring Ohtani to secure a fourth straight MVP. capturengo.com
