Bryce Harper is quietly putting together another incredible season, one in which Joe DeCamara pointed out could certainly end with his third NL MVP award.

"Bryce Harper has a higher on-base percentage than Alec Bohm and Bryce Harper has a higher slugging percentage than Alec Bohm," DeCamara said on Friday's 94WIP Morning Show.

"He's not that far off if he just has a week or two where he could enter—he actually could enter the MVP conversation. He's on the best team in baseball, he's got an on-base of .390, he's got a slugging of .544. He pulls them up just a little bit, he's right there."

Harper is slashing .281/.390/.544 with 12 home runs, nine doubles, and 37 RBI in 46 games, leading the Phillies to a MLB best 37-14 record.

Harper's .934 OPS is 11th best in Major League Baseball.

Currently, Harper has the fourth shortest NL MVP Odds on FanDuel Sports:

Mookie Betts (+170)
Shohei Ohtani (+350)
William Contreras (+750)
Bryce Harper (+1200)
