Kershaw finishes the season with the pitching triple crown, first in wins, k's, and ERA. It will stay that way since everyone else that is close is also done for the regular season. There should be no reason he does not win the NL Cy Young
1 - Wins: 21
1 - ERA: 2.28
1 - Ks: 248
1 - WHIP: 0.98
2 - IP: 238 1/3 (only 1/3 of an inning less than the leader, Halladay)
If he does not win the Cy Young, then there is definitely something wrong

Kemp should win the NL MVP but it will probably go to Braun since he plays for a first place team. Kemp currently leads the league in HRs, Runs, and RBIs, and he is in the top 3 in BA and SB. If Dodgers stadium was like Miller Park, he will currently be a 40/40 man (currently has 37 HRs and 40 SB), and probably leading the league in BA as well; which means he would probably be the only 40/40 triple crown player in history. Playing in Dodgers stadium and the other west coast pitcher friendly parks for most of his games and with no offensive protection at all, unlike Braun, makes his feat even more amazing. Just in this series in SD alone, he had 1 HR and 2 400+ feet outs. Not only did the stadium take away 2 HR which would have been HR in any other park, it also took away two hits which lowered his BA about 3 points.
3 - BA: .324
1 - HR: 37 (keep in mind that Dodgers stadium, Petco, and ATT Park are the three most pitcher friendly parks in the NL and this is where he plays most of his game)
1 - RBI: 120 (keep in mind the Dodgers have not had people getting on base for him to drive in)
2 - SB: 40
1 - Runs: 112 (keep in mind he has nobody behind him to drive him in and he bats in the middle of lineup)
He should be the MVP, but since the Dodgers are not going to the playoffs, this will hurt him (even though it is not his fault). Going to the hitter friendly park in AZ may help him reach the 40/40 mark, being on the fifth person to ever do so.
