Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh has taken over as the American League MVP favorite with his closest rival, Aaron Judge, heading to the injured list.

Trysta Krick and Jay Croucher examine the betting market for the AL MVP award, discussing why the injury to New York Yankees star Aaron Judge opens the door for both Cal Raleigh and Tarik Skubal.

Cal Raleigh's 41st homer of the season leading off the seventh inning Sunday was all the offense the Mariners could muster in a 4-1 loss to the Angels.

Cal Raleigh became the first player to hit 40 homers this season with a tiebreaking solo shot in the sixth inning of the Seattle Mariners' 7-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night. Raleigh hammered a 97 mph fastball from José Fermin (2-2) 416 feet into the right-field bleachers for his second homer in eight games since winning the Home Run Derby.

Cal Raleigh hits his 40th homer, breaks multiple records, and closes in on AL and catcher home run milestones in a historic 2025 season.
