Alex Bregman is supremely talented. He’s coming off of a 2019 season where he gave career-highs in homers, RBI, On-Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage among others.

He’s also the posting son for the humiliation Houston Astros.

Bregman, Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa have found themselves taking the most heat for Codebreaker.

So far it’s been unrivaled dominance from 2019 MVP Mike Trout when it comes to the 2020 AL MVP odds .

Since the books opened, Yankees teammates Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres have been neck-and-neck. Judge just read his biggest jump since the peculiars were posted.

But Bregman is the surprising one. He opened at +1600, bumped up to +1500, and now sits at +1414 on average.

Despite Controversy, Alex Bregman is a Rising Star

Aside from the defile of the 2017 World Series, Houston’s cheating gossip has scarred a bright and promising career.

Bregman’s profession year in 2019 underscored a steady rise over his first four seasons. Since debuting at age 22, the third baseman has quickly ascended to baseball’s superstar ranks.

Alex Bregman’s Career

Season AVG HR RBI Runs OBP SLG% Fight 2016 .264 8 34 31 .313. 478 1.8 2017 .284 19 71 88 .352. 475 3.8 2018 .286 31 103 105 .394. 532 6.9 2019 .296 41 112 122 .423. 592 8.4

As that increase has has just taken place, the lineup around Bregman has evolved, and he’s been given primary opportunities.

In 2019, Bregman was a staple in Houston’s top four. He devoted the majority of his time hitting third( 78 tournaments ), but too understood some time in the cleanup spot( 34 recreations ). The rest of his time was spent leading off or hitting second.

Mike Trout is currently -1 20 to triumph the AL MVP at @CaesarsEnt.

The actors with the next-best odds are Alex Bregman and Francisco Lindor … at 12 -1.

The one category where Bregman fell off in 2019 was doubles. In 2018 he guided all of baseball with 51. As the home run rose, that fallen to 37 last year, but the proof is there that he’s a threat to do almost anything in the box.

Bregman’s MVP Candidacy Falls on Votes

Here’s the thing. Bregman could stroll to the plate topless for all 600+ at-bats this season, proving he can do it without the wire. Even if he smack-dab 70 homers, drives in 150 and moves 50 foundations, it’s not up to him if he’s named AL MVP.

It’s the voters. And it’s safe to say they’re probably pissed.

Baseball’s voters are fickle. Need proof? Ken Griffey Jr was left off of three referendums when he was voted into the Hall of Fame. Nolan Ryan missed on six of them, and eight people didn’t voted in support of Cal Ripken Jr.

And we’re expecting them to vote in favor of naming a cheater AL MVP?

If Not Bregman, Then Who?

Bregman will likely have a fine season, but he won’t be AL MVP.

One name that has some interesting evaluate is Shohei Ohtani.

On last-place Halos Hot Stove of 2019 I manufactured 5 prognosis for 2020. I feel the same way today…

1- Rendon will be a gold glove finalist& triumph silver slugger. 2- Angels is likely to be customers at busines deadline3- Ohtani 10 wins, 20 HRs4- Trout earns 4th AL MVP5- Angels determine playoffs.

While it remains to be seen how effective he’ll be, Ohtani will be back on the mound this year. And there’s a chance the two-way star could at least have the Angels in the playoff hunting. The one drawback? He has yet to play more than 106 activities in either of his Major League seasons.

Give me your under-the-radar, dark-horse 2020 MVP candidates.

Mine are :* Matt Chapman( OAK )* Fernando Tatis Jr.( SD )* Shohei Ohtani( LAA )* Giancarlo Stanton( NYY )* Eloy Jimenez( CHW )* Yoenis Cespedes( NYM) #MLB pic.twitter.com/ LZ0Adxq06Y

Staying in the fraction, Matt Chapman is experiencing a similar path to Bregman. He’s finished in the top-1 0 in AL MVP voting each of the last two years. And if the Astros stumble and the A’s take advantage? Chapman will be at the center of it.

Buzzers or not, don’t be surprised if Houston obstructs on hitting. But there’s no way any of them take home AL MVP in 2020.
