The race for the American League MVP title has been intense with New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge and Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh being neck-to-neck this season.Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts joined the MLB Network on Monday and discussed the AL MVP race between Judge and Raleigh. When MLB analyst Greg Amsinger asked the former MVP about his thoughts on the two contenders, Betts said both Raleigh and Judge are "invaluable."Betts said that while Raleigh does a great job from behind the plate and with his hitting, Judge is one of the best hitters in the game and the other aspect of his game is his leadership, which is also invaluable."I mean, I'm not here to vote and to try and divide one way or the other, but it's really just kind of how you see it," Betts said. "There areoso many different perspectives on it, but for me, they're both Invaluable."Like, there's no way to place value on what they bring to the table, and they're both having amazing seasons."Betts' analysis impressed Amsinger:"That was so good, Mookie, because you opened my eyes."Betts, who batted .462 with two homers, 10 RBI, three doubles, three walks, seven runs scored across six games, was named the National League Player of the Week on Monday.
