  • The Sports Story You Need to See: While Rangers fans following their division competition know the AL MVP race is virtually settled with Yordan Alvarez still very much in the hunt for a Triple Crown, the NL MVP race between Shohei Ohtani and Pete Crow-Armstrong has been the talk of the ballpark lately. Ohtani was dominant on the mound during 14 starts before a knee injury took him out of the rotation, with his prolific hitting prowess still on display to boot. Meanwhile, PCA has posted the first back-to-back 30 home run and 30 stolen base seasons in Cubs history, alongside the kind of defensive performance in center field that would make new Cowboys DC Christian Parker proud. See a breakdown of where this hotly debated MVP race stands with this ESPN article.
