Judge or Raleigh for MVP?

[bk400]

I certainly wouldn't be opposed to Judge winning, especially as he seems to putting on the gas these last few games.

I'm somewhat skeptical of the WAR stats myself, but understand that voters care. I mean, Ohtani's fWAR actually increased by 0.2 after he got torched for 4 earned runs in one inning a few starts ago.

As far as OPS+, I get conceptually what it means, but if someone can explain to me why that stat is robust, I'd appreciate it. It strikes me as one of those stats where they try to translate what balls hit at certain speeds and at certain angles would do in certain ball parks. Which kindly feels like a bunch of guys sitting around playing a Dungeons and Dragons version of a baseball season.
