The National League MVP race in Major League Baseball is heating up.

In the American League, Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Angels) has dominated the MVP race.

However, it’s a different story in the National League. It’s narrowed down to two players, Ronald Acuña Jr. (Atlanta Braves) and Freddie Freeman (Los Angeles Dodgers).

At the moment, Acuña Jr. has a slight lead. But Freeman is not far behind. Freeman was the MVP for Atlanta in 2020. Coincidentally, two Atlanta natives are competing for the MVP.

Acuña Jr. is batting .341 through six days. Freeman is at .337. It’s hardly a difference.

In slugging percentage, Acuña Jr. is slightly ahead of Freeman at 0.423 to 0.414.

In slugging percentage, Freeman has a slight lead, 0.589 to 0.587.

In OPS, which combines slugging and on-base percentage, Acuña Jr. has an OPS of 1.010, slightly ahead of Freeman’s 1.003.

In the home run category, Acuña Jr. has 25 to Freeman’s 23.

RBIs are a different story. Acuña Jr. has 66, while Freeman has 77. This can be attributed to the fact that Akuña Jr. is a leadoff hitter.바카라사이트

In runs scored, Acuña Jr. has 98, three more than Freeman.

In doubles, Freeman has 40 to Acuña Jr’s 27.

The stolen base category is no contest. Acuña Jr. has 52 to Freeman’s 15.

In terms of wins above replacement (bWAR), Acuña Jr. is better at 5.7 to Freeman’s 5.1.

Acuña Jr. is just 0.1 ahead of Ha-Sung Kim (San Diego Padres).

However, these records can be flipped in just a few games (excluding some things like stolen bases), so it remains to be seen who the final winner will be.
