Handicapping MLB's top contenders for MVP, Cy Young and Rookie of the Year in both leagues through 120 games.
Kirby hasn't walked a batter since Babe Ruth died and his hot July/August has helped catapult Seattle back into the wild-card picture. Besides his no-hitter on Aug. 1st, Valdez has been shaky since the end of June with a 5.65 ERA in his last seven starts including the no-no. He's still in the mix because his full season numbers are strong.
It's nearly impossible for relievers to win the Cy Young nowadays, but Bautista is forcing the issue at least a little bit. His 17.3 K/9 would be the highest in baseball history for a pitcher with at least 60 innings. He's allowed just 10 runs in 56 1/3 frames and has a league-leading 31 saves for the AL-best
. If Bautista finishes the season with 40 saves, 70 innings and the highest strikeout rate ever, he'll get a ton of votes.After an overly passive April, Henderson exploded when the weather warmed, posting an .848 OPS from May through July. He's cooled off in August, but the Orioles infielder remains one of the most important pieces in that lineup.
