Well, it looks like all roads lead to Shohei Ohtani repeating as NL MVP this season and he's going to have a decent enough sample of innings on the mound to be considered a two-way player. That would be his third MVP as a two-way player along with the MVP from last season when he was only a DH.

After sitting atop the odds board all season, Shohei Ohtani suddenly has some competition in Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber, who has been red-hot of late. Ohtani is down to -400 to win the award at FanDuel Sportsbook – the lowest he’s been in months – while Schwarber is lurking at +300.
