Good question.
I suspect two reasons. First, the voting took place after the regular season but before the playoffs. So, the Jays' excellent playoff run didn't factor in
Second, I think the narrative for this award favors small market, non-super star teams... i.e. which manager got "the most from the least". Pat Murphy and the Brewers check those boxes.
Ohtani and Judge repeat as NL and AL MVPs. Ohtani got all the first place votes. Not exactly a shocker 
Judge got more first place votes than Raleigh (17 to 13). They were 1st/2nd on every ballot, which makes sense given the great seasons they each had. I thought that might be a bit tighter but 4 first place votes was all the difference Judge needed. Bummer for Cal.

The argument for Cal was doing it as a catcher and switch hitter. I'm glad Judge won as a Yanks fan but Cals season was incredible and certainly worthy of winning as well. Maybe co-mvps would have been cool.
Cal should have been MVP. That's all there is to say about it.Ohtani and Judge repeat as NL and AL MVPs. Ohtani got all the first place votes. Not exactly a shocker
At least Judge had an MVP worthy season. I agree Cal should have won, but Judge would have won it easily in most seasons with those stats.
