2026 MLB Odds: Can Ohtani Hold Off PCA In NL MVP Race?

Despite a sub-1 ERA earlier in the season, Ohtani has not pitched since July 3 due to knee discomfort and has given up multiple runs in his last four starts. Consequently, the betting odds have flipped into a coin flip, with PCA currently leading Ohtani in Wins Above Replacement (WAR) at 6.5 to 6.0. While Ohtani remains the slight favorite at -130 odds, the race is heating up as the playoffs approach. saltysenoritaaz.org
