Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts, teammates on the Los Angeles Dodgers, are leading the Major League Baseball (MLB) in Wins Above Replacement (WAR) rankings, holding the first and second spots respectively. Ohtani, with a batting average of .370 and over 25 extra-base hits in the first 37 games of the season, is the first Dodgers player to achieve such a feat in the expansion era. His performance has significantly improved his odds for the National League (NL) MVP, moving from +800 to +350. Betts currently leads the fWAR leaderboard with a score of 3.0, followed by Ohtani at 2.7. If they maintain their positions, they will be the first teammates to finish 1-2 in WAR since Ken Griffey Jr. and Alex Rodriguez with the 1995 Mariners.
