Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh has actually taken over as the American League MVP favorite with his closest rival, Aaron Judge, heading to the injured list.


Raleigh struck home runs in successive games over the weekend to extend his big league result in 41. It is currently 7 more than his profession high, and Raleigh has connected Todd Hundley (1996) for the most home runs in a season by a switch-hitting catcher.


Judge has led the MVP race most of the season, however the New york city Yankees slugger will miss out on an undetermined quantity of time due to a flexor strain. The two-time AL MVP currently paces the majors in batting average (.342 ), on-base percentage (.449) and punching percentage (.711 ).


However, Raleigh has now passed Judge for the AL RBI lead, 86 to 85, and is only one behind Arizona's Eugenio Suarez for the significant league lead.


Raleigh is now the -130 AL MVP favorite at DraftKings and is -135 at BetMGM. Judge has the second fastest odds at +100 of +105, respectively. It's still a two-player race, with the third-shortest chances coming from Detroit Tigers ace at +4000 at both books.


BetMGM reported that Raleigh is now the book's biggest liability in the AL MVP market, having actually been backed by the most overall money bet at 28.6 percent. Kansas City shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. leads with the most overall bets placed at 19.6 percent but is presently a +8000 longshot.


The space in between Raleigh and Judge could continue to widen depending upon the length of time the Yankees star is sidelined.


Judge experienced pain, recoiling on a toss throughout New york city's three-game series in Toronto recently. He remained in more pain Friday and the Yankees sent him for tests that revealed only the pressure and no damage to the ulnar collateral ligament.


"All in all, we got excellent news," manager Aaron Boone stated. "I believe everybody feared the worst."


Los Angeles Dodgers super star Shohei Ohtani remains the excessive NL favorite at -2000 at both books.
