Los Angeles Angels pitcher/DH Shohei Ohtani had a 2.33 ERA and an .875 OPS in 2022. New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge led the league in OPS, runs, RBIs, and broke the American League home run record with 62. In any other year, either would be the obvious choice for AL Most Valuable Player -- but they happen to have put up those numbers in the same season. While Judge is the odds-on favorite to win, would anyone really object if the vote was close -- or even if it were tied?
Judge vs. Ohtani might join other close MVP races
