Witt Becomes AL MVP Favorite Following Judge’s Injury

Bobby Witt Jr. has emerged as the new AL MVP favorite following Aaron Judge’s rib injury, which will keep the Yankees star out for at least four to six weeks. Judge’s odds have dropped from +120 to +10000, while Witt’s odds are now +140. Witt is performing strongly with a .281 batting average and leading the AL with a 3.8 WAR, while Yordan Alvarez, at +160, also poses a significant challenge with a .316 batting average and 21 home runs. Judge’s injury not only impacts his MVP candidacy but also diminishes the Yankees’ chances in the AL East, reducing their odds from -225 to -145.
