This is an individual player award for the best overall player. It is not an award for the best player on the team that won the most games. From what I can see in the stats, that MVP is correctly allocated.

Poor Mike Trout has it hard enough that he plays on the west coast and nobody notices him (I would like to, but due to the 9-hour time difference, I haven't seen him play in YEARS), and that he is on a team that is in the most dire straits.

If the '21 Yankees had been Babe Ruth and 20+ one-legged hunchbacks and had finished 60-94, what would your call be for MVP then? By your logic, the Cy Young should always go to the pitcher with the most wins, since he's got to be on a darn good team.
