After a week of trophies being handed out, the 2019 MLB season officially concludes Thursday with the announcements of the AL and NL Most Valuable Player awards.
This was a particularly interesting year for both prizes. Neither league had a consensus MVP favorite throughout much of the season, and as any good race does, they both lasted until the end of September.
Let's take a look at all six finalists' odds to win MVP and make a prediction on who takes the prize.
