MVP

Albert Pujols – Pujols leads the majors in both home runs and RBIs. He is also hitting .332. He is a freak of nature and is nearly impossible to pitch to. He’s on pace to have his best season ever, that’s scary. Pujols might be the greatest hitter to ever play the game. (Sorry Raul, injury killed ya).

Runner Up

Prince Fielder – Big Prince is leading the way for his first place Brew Crew, smashing 20 homers and driving in 74 which is good for second in the bigs.

Still in it

Hanley Ramirez – Han Ram put on for his city this month driving in 33 RBIs which was good for second behind, well duh, Pujols. In all seriousness though, Hanley is by far the best player on the Marlins, and without him they wouldn’t be 1.5 games out of first. Hitting .341 doesn’t hurt either.

Cy Young

Tim Lincecum – Lincecum is tied for third in the NL in wins (8), he’s second in ERA (2.37) and leads the majors in strikeouts (132). He really is a freak.

Runner Up

Matt Cain – San Fran might have the best one two punch in baseball. Both of these guys always give them a chance to win. Cain is 9-2 with a 2.57 ERA. The strikeout total is what really separates these teammates.

Still in it

Dan Haren – Ok, so he’s 7-5, but his ERA shows he could be 11-1. Haren leads the NL in ERA at 2.19. Now wins aren’t everything because your offense has to hit the ball too. Arizona doesn’t really do that too well.
