American League MVP Race

Front-runner: Aaron Judge, New York Yankees (152 AXE)

Next nine: Cal Raleigh, Seattle Mariners (146); Bobby Witt Jr., Kansas City Royals (137); Jose Ramirez, Cleveland Guardians (136); Jeremy Pena, Houston Astros (131); Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Toronto Blue Jays (130); Byron Buxton, Minnesota Twins (129); Julio Rodriguez, Mariners (127); Corey Seager, Texas Rangers; Randy Arozarena, Mariners; Maikel Garcia, Royals (126).

Leader trend: Despite a recent slump, Aaron Judge remains the favorite for the AL MVP. However, Cal Raleigh's power surge keeps him in close contention. Judge's OPS has dipped since the All-Star break, but his overall performance still leads the pack.

Biggest mover: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has seen a significant AXE jump, hitting .366/.443/.688 in the second half. If he continues this pace, he could make a late push for the MVP.

Keep an eye on: Cal Raleigh's power hitting. He's on pace for 60 homers, which could break records and potentially close the gap on Judge if he maintains his current form.

National League Cy Young Race

Front-runner: Paul Skenes, Pittsburgh Pirates (140.4 AXE)

Next nine: Cristopher Sanchez, Philadelphia Phillies (140.2); Zack Wheeler, Phillies (136); Andrew Abbott, Cincinnati Reds (127); Nick Pivetta, San Diego Padres (126); Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Los Angeles Dodgers (124); Nick Lodolo, Reds; Ranger Suarez, Phillies; Matthew Boyd, Chicago Cubs (123); Logan Webb, San Francisco Giants (121).

Leader trend: Paul Skenes and Cristopher Sanchez are in a tight race for the NL Cy Young. Skenes has a slight edge in AXE, but Sanchez's consistent performance and low ERA make him a strong contender.

Biggest mover: Cristopher Sanchez continues to impress with a 2.06 ERA since May, leading NL pitchers in bWAR. His ability to go deep into games has been crucial for the Phillies.

Keep an eye on: Andrew Abbott's consistency in the Reds' rotation. A strong finish could elevate his Cy Young candidacy, especially if Cincinnati secures a playoff spot.

Keep an eye on: Will Warren's steady performance for the Yankees. His consistency has been vital for New York during a challenging season.
