Game 145 Thread: Royals vs Yankees
Witt vs Judge
Yes, this is an important battle - the New York Yankees are fighting off the Baltimore Orioles for the AL East crown, and the Kansas City Royals are fighting to close the year with a playoff spot.
But make no mistake—this is the Battle of the MVPs. Aaron Judge is, in all likelihood, going to win the award, but there’s a very small chance that Bobbby Witt Jr. could make a late run for the crown. If that’s the case, this series will loom big: Witt needs to swat some home runs in Yankee Stadium’s confines and Brady Singer and the Royals pitching needs to keep Judge quiet.
Will it happen? We’ll figure it out soon!
