Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani receives Cy Young and MVP prediction that makes no sense originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Los Angeles Dodgers have a bit of a different outlook with Shohei Ohtani this season, as their $700 million investment is finally pitching in full capacity.
He's been an awesome starting pitcher this season, and it would not be a surprise if he's in contention for some end-of-season awards once again. Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report is predicting that Ohtani will win the NL Cy Young award, but also somehow miss out on the NL MVP award. "Shohei Ohtani wins his first Cy Young award...
But not his fifth MVP," Miller writes. While this is meant to be a hot take, it's still an odd one. If Ohtani, who will continue to hit and likely fairly well, were to win the Cy Young award, it would be hard to imagine that he also doesn't win the MVP.
That's why this prediction makes zero sense. Shohei Ohtani receives Awards prediction that makes no sense Ohtani winning the Cy Young this year is a bold enough of a prediction, as other starting pitchers will pitch more innings than Ohtani this season. If he were to win the award, it would coincide with an elite season with an ERA below 2.
