<p>The <strong>Cleveland Guardians</strong> were expected to be bottom-feeders this season, yet they have a chance to win their division. And a lot of that has to do with <strong>Jose Ramirez’s </strong>stellar play throughout the campaign.</p>
<p>One of the most versatile infielders in the game, Ramirez has been lights out at the plate this season. He’s slashed <strong>.280/.350/.535 with 26 homers, </strong>106 RBIs, 14 stolen bases, and a league-leading 39 doubles.</p>
<h3>2. Shohei Ohtani</h3>

<p>Even though the <strong>Los Angeles Angels </strong>may never be a good team, they’re still must-watch television for as long as <strong>Shohei Ohtani</strong> is on the roster. He’s the most spectacular player in the game, and it’s not even close.</p>
<p>Ohtani continues to be a two-way phenom. He’s slashing<strong> .266/.358/.522 with 30 homers, 82 RBIs, and 11 stolen bases</strong> while also going <strong>11-8 with a 2.58 ERA, 1.044 WHIP, and 181 strikeouts</strong> in 23 starts on the mound.</p>
<h3>1. Aaron Judge</h3>

<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>New York Yankees </strong>may not be red-hot as they were at the start of the season, but<strong> Aaron Judge </strong>hasn’t missed a beat. He’s looking at a $300+ million contract in the offseason after betting on himself and turning down a big offer last winter.</p>
<p>Judge is nearly a lock to win AL MVP regardless of the Yankees’ major slump. He’s having the best season of his career with a slash line of <strong>.299/.401/.674, an MLB-best 53 homers, 115 RBIs, 15 stolen bases, and is also leading the league in runs (107) and walks (79). </strong>All rise!</p>
