ESPN's predictor has Happ as the clear leader (I am going to ignore Britton who won't win)
In the NL, Strasburg the clear leader there

Kershaw was on pace til he got hurt.
For the NL, I could see Arrieta sneaking past Strasburg, riding the Cubs success and the voters obviously well-familiar with him. Cueto in play as well.
For the AL, at the moment only Cole Hamels really feels like he can jump up to me. I don't see either Sox pitcher getting serious consideration for it, Porcello doesn't have the rate stats and Wright will get penalized for the various knuckleball handicaps (passed balls, ER vs Unearned, lack of respect for the knuckleball by some). Chris Sale lurking as well I suppose and can't be counted out
Time for predictions - who do people like?
I see Arrieta repeating, and since I think Toronto ends up the AL East champs I think the voters will reward Happ with the trophy
