Shohei Ohtani still leads the MVP race despite a knee injury slowing his hitting and recent dip in stats, but his pitching remains elite with a 1.79 ERA, 20+ homers, and 60+ RBIs. Meanwhile, Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Cubs is on fire since late May, slashing over .300 with 18 homers and leading MLB in fielding value and outs above average — his fWAR now edges out Ohtani’s. Though Ohtani holds the poll lead with more points and first-place votes, Crow-Armstrong’s surge is undeniable, and the rivalry’s heat is rising as the Cubs and Dodgers prepare for their next showdown — all while Crow-Armstrong’s comments about LA fans add fuel to the fire.
