(AP Photo/Eric Gay)Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts could become the second player to win the MVP award in each league, and New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom is in the running for his third consecutive NL Cy Young Award.
Betts, Freddie Freeman and Manny Machado are the top finishers for NL MVP in balloting by the Baseball Writersโ Association of America.
DeGrom, Trevor Bauer and Yu Darvish are the finalists in the NL Cy Young race.
Betts, who won the 2018 AL MVP award with Boston, helped the Dodgers win the World Series last week for the first time since 1988.
Frank Robinson is the only player to win the MVP award in both leagues, accomplishing the feat in 1961 with Cincinnati and 1966 for Baltimore.
