I think WAR is a conspiracy invented by someone heavily invested in Trout cards.

That's certainly what I'd Betts on it.

LOL, it's crossed my mind before. The guy is obviously a great player, but sometimes it seems like he just sneezes and his WAR goes up somehow.

That Trout is a CF and Betts is a RF is part of the difference. (Two runs worth.) Most of the difference in defensive ability these days is based in a player's range. Errors are so rare that they don't make much difference. So far this year Trout has been a better fielder than Betts. His defense has saved about three runs more than Betts' has. (To find this look for Rfield on a player's baseball-reference page.)
But also, remember that 0.6 WAR is not much of a difference, and that it's early enough in the season that our final defensive numbers will likely look very different than these.

The article isn't saying they think he's going to do it. Not even Trout's mom thinks he's going to do it. Just that he's on pace for it. Being on pace for the greatest season of all time after 40 games is hard, staying on that pace for the next 120 is much much harder. Ruth pulled it off, Trout probably won't.
But the article is celebrating Trout for managing this pace for even 40 games, which is an achievement all on its own.

Struck out swinging in first. Walked in the third. Walked in the fifth. Stole second. Stole third. Scored on sac fly. Walked in the seventh. Took third on a single. Scored on sac fly. Flawless in the field (He was the DH). So, the DH doesn’t get his bat on the ball, reaches first three times, scores twice and his WAR continues to go up. Peter, what on earth do you expect?
