Mookie Betts is either having a great season that's somehow just OK, or an OK season that's somehow great.
The fact that there's even a debate is a problem for the Boston Red Sox. And a growing one, at that.
Coming off a 2016 season in which he mustered an .897 OPS with 31 home runs and 26 stolen bases while playing Gold Glove defense in right field, Betts was expected to once again be an MVP contender for a Red Sox team with its eyes on the World Series.
To an extent, these expectations are being satisfied.
