Judge is the favorite to win the AL Rookie of the Year Award after setting a new rookie record with 52 home runs this season. Him and Altuve — who just helped lead the Astros to a World Series victory — will likely duke it out for the AL MVP award win.

Bellinger is the favorite to win the NL Rookie of the Year after smacking a rookie record 39 homers. He didn’t make his MLB debut until April 25, the team’s 21st game of the year.
