NLCS, ALCS MVP rankings: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. frontrunners for hardware
The two Championship Series could not be more different. The reigning World Series champion Dodgers have stifled the MLB-best Brewers in the NLCS, holding them to three runs in three games en route to a 3-0 series lead. In the ALCS, the Blue Jays and Mariners have traded body blows, with the road team winning all four games. That's a 2-2 series. The ALCS is now a best-of-three series while the Dodgers have four chances to win one game to become the first reigning champ since the 2009 Phillies to return to the World Series. With that in mind, let's take stock of the Championship Series MVP races. This is an actual award, unlike our hypothetical Wild Card Series MVPs and Division Series MVPs. With the caveat that neither series is over and a lot can change (especially in the […]
