## Resource

I’ve been riding with Shohei Ohtani for NL MVP all season, but it’s time for me to admit it: I was wrong. Pete Crow-Armstrong has changed my mind, and I explain why he’s now my pick for MVP. Plus, we break down a huge Yankees-Red Sox series, the Astros surviving the chaos, Tarik Skubal’s emotional return to Detroit, the 5 teams that can beat the Dodgers in October, and my latest MLB Power Rankings. Who is your NL MVP right now: PCA or Ohtani?
