Crow-Armstrong's Historic 3-HR, 6-RBI Day Cements NL MVP Lead Over Ohtani

Pete Crow-Armstrong solidified his National League MVP lead with a historic performance against the Cincinnati Reds, hitting three home runs and driving in six runs in a 17-5 victory. The 24-year-old center fielder now leads all major league players in wins above replacement (WAR) at 7.9, significantly widening the gap against Shohei Ohtani, who remains sidelined from pitching due to a knee injury. Crow-Armstrong’s August surge, which includes 12 home runs and 25 RBIs, places him among an elite group of players in the last 50 years to achieve such monthly output. While Ohtani has maintained strong hitting numbers, his absence from the mound has diminished his two-way value, making Crow-Armstrong the overwhelming favorite for the award at betting odds of -1100.

Crow-Armstrong Surges to NL MVP Favorite as Ohtani Struggles with Injury

Pete Crow-Armstrong has vaulted into the NL MVP conversation and emerged as the favorite, thanks to elite defense (league-leading outs above average and top few runs saved) and a breakout season at the plate and on the bases for the Cubs. Ohtani’s lingering knee injury has sidelined him from pitching, limiting his two-way value despite solid hitting numbers, while Crow-Armstrong’s 26 HR, 71 RBI, a high on-base percentage, and 8.0 fWAR highlight his all-around impact as the Cubs ride his performance into the late-season sprint toward the award.
