Probably has to do with the 77.4 WAR vs 45.2 WAR difference. Keep in mind Mike Trout is only 1 year older than Mookie Betts, so although he has played in more games they are nearly the same age.
That being said Mookie is great and could easily be in that conversation who is the better player currently but at this point right now Trout has accomplished more in his career and is thus more valued. I should also add that I have several of Mookie's RC cards and plan to hold onto them as I love him as a player.
