The American League MVP has been in Aaron Judges name for two of the last three seasons, but he may have finally met his match. Cal Raleighs 2025 campaign is growing more unprecedented by the day, as the Mariners catcher pulled ahead of Judge as the -220 AL MVP favorite at following a two-home run effort on Wednesday. Judge is now priced at +180. Raleigh, who hit home runs No. 59 and 60 in the Mariners 9-2 drubbing of the Rockies, became the seventh player in history to hit that plateau. He is the first catcher in history to reach this mark. Its the first time that someone other than Judge has been priced with the markets shortest odds since he opened as the +310 favorite. Raleighs galvanic performance at the plate has dragged the Mariners to an AL West division title their first since their all-time record 116-win season in 2001. Aaron Judge lost his place as the AL MVP favorite for the first time in 2025 after Cal Raleigh reached 60 home runs. Getty Images While slashing .248/.361/.598, Raleigh owns 125 RBI (No. 2 overall) and reflects a WAR of 7.2 (No. 5 overall). On a coincident note, Judge was the most recent entrant to the 60 club when he broke Roger Maris record for 62 long balls in 2022. He won his first MVP that year, and slashed .311/.425/.686. But the Yankees captain hasnt dwindled whatsoever. In fact, hes considerably better. Slashing .328/.455/.681 and cranking 51 home runs of his own, he is on pace for the batting title and leads MLB with 9.3 WAR. With the Yankees also punched in for the playoffs, both clubs have four games remaining. Raleigh will get one more turkey shoot against the forlorn Rockies before hosting the Dodgers.

The plan for either players status in those games remains to be seen. If this market shift says anything to me, its two things: a) the BBWAA voters value home runs above all else, and b) youve got to hit a historic amount of them and be a catcher to even have a shot at usurping Judge these days.
