Probably Elly or Chourio.

Caminero hit a bunch of homers but his overall approach still has a ton of flaws. Could see him falling off a cliff.

Ohtani definitely got out of the AL at the right time for his trophy case's sake.

2017 should've won.

2023 very likely would've won if not for the wall at Dodger Stadium.

Could easily already have 4-5 MVPs. But luck and timing obviously always plays a role in these things.

Updated odds via Fanduel:

Judge -160
Raleigh +130

Have a feeling if Raleigh had 59 homers instead of 60, those odds would be quite a bit wider. People love their round numbers.
