This weekend the MLB saw two top teams in the form of Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves take on each other. The two sides have dominated their division with relative ease as they look to make another postseason appearance. The two sides boosted some big names in the league which took on each other. One of these battles saw the NL MVP tussle between Ronald Acuna Jr. and Mookie Betts which recorded a hilarious moment.
Acuna Jr. and Betts have been head and shoulders above the other MVP candidates this year. The two superstars have defied expectations and logic with their performances. However, a reaction from the former Boston Red Sox man is going viral on the internet.
It has been a monumental week for the Braves slugger. Not only did he get married to his longtime fiancee Maria Laborde, but he proceeded to record history that very night. On Saturday, he broke another record. He recorded the hardest hit ball of the year as he smoked a solo home run in the third inning.
His 32nd home run of the season came off with an exit velocity of 121.2 mph. This shot stunned everyone present in the Dodger Stadium. This home run is the third-hardest-hit shot since MLB started using Statcast for ball tracking. His shot also evoked a strange reaction from Betts, which is now circling around social media.

When two big teams collide, the pressure is always huge. The Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Dodgers have established themselves as two of the league’s best teams in recent years and seem set to lock horns in the knockout phases again. This matchup between them was also seen by fans as the battle between Ronald Acuna Jr. and Mookie Betts.
So far in the three games, the Braves man has had the upper hand of his NL MVP rival. He has homered in all three games and continues to breathe fire. Meanwhile, Betts has struggled in the series and went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts on Saturday. His reaction to the home run by Acuna Jr. was caught on camera and fans soon started to flood it with hilarious reactions on Twitter. One user would write “he’ll never be that nasty” while comparing the two players. Here are a few reactions to the incident.
Will Acuna Jr. take home the MVP price remains to be seen. However, his recent performances individually have made the Braves even stronger. With the month of September underway, he would be hoping to lead his side to a record-breaking season finish and get their hands back on the Commissioner’s trophy in October.
