Bryce Harper (+3000)
Bryce Harper seemed like Ohtani's main rival for the NL MVP as of the All-Star Break, but his performance dipped in July, with a batting average of just .149 and an OPS of .598. However, he's shown improvement in early August, indicating there's still a chance for the two-time NL MVP to re-enter this year's competition.
Interestingly, aside from his MVP-winning seasons in 2015 and 2021, Harper has yet to finish in the top five of NL MVP voting at any other point in his career.
