Still a HELL of a year, but Judge pretty much has it locked up at this point.

While I do agree Judge is in front, Judge has tailed off of late too with his last home run coming on Aug. 25.
Fangraphs has Judge's WAR at 9.7, Witt is at 9.6.
I do think the modern day baseball writer is different from year's past and will consider Witt's positional value over Judge's sheer numbers.
I generally agree, Witt probably needs to go off these last three weeks and have the Royals seize the division down the stretch to overtake Judge.
