We’re down to the final five weeks of the MLB regular season, and not only do we have exciting pennant races in both leagues, but we also have some tremendous award races.Here are my early predictions for the key awards (including the Baseball Writers Association of America’s reliever of the year awards that debut this year). In the comments section, please let me know what you think I got right, what I got wrong and who you think I need to give more consideration to.National League MVPWinner: Pete Crow-Armstrong, CF, Chicago CubsRunner-up: Shohei Ohtani, RHP/DH, Los Angeles DodgersThis is probably the closest race of all. Crow-Armstrong gets the edge mainly because of the knee injury to Ohtani, which has kept him off the mound since July 5. The offensive production for both players is similar, save for the running game where Crow-Armstrong has a significant edge (he’s already put together a 30/30 season and could reach 40/40). Crow-Armstrong plays an elite center field, however, so if Ohtani isn’t contributing on the mound, that gives Crow-Armstrong a leg up in this race. He’s an all-around star — he can beat you with his power, outfield range, base-running and arm.If Ohtani had stayed healthy and continued to pitch as he did before the injury, I would’ve had him edging out Crow-Armstrong. Ohtani is expected back on the mound soon and should make this race really close by the end of the season. Both are deserving.Who should win NL MVP?Joe CrisalliAmerican League MVPWinner: Yordan Alvarez, DH, Houston AstrosRunner-up: Junior Caminero, 3B, Tampa Bay RaysAfter missing much of last season, Yordan Alvarez has had a monster season at the plate. (Troy Taormina / Imagn Images)Alvarez has a legitimate chance to win the Triple Crown, which would be the first in MLB since Miguel Cabrera did it with the Detroit Tigers in 2012. Although designated hitters rarely win league MVP awards, capturing the Triple Crown would likely clinch it for Alvarez. I also think it may be time to redefine the Triple Crown around OPS, home runs and RBIs.Caminero should finish as the runner-up, with Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals and Ben Rice of the New York Yankees also receiving votes.National League Cy Young AwardWinner: Jacob Misiorowski, RHP, Milwaukee BrewersRunners-up: Cristopher Sánchez, LHP, Philadelphia Phillies; Chris Sale, LHP, Atlanta BravesMisiorowski has been the best pitcher in baseball all season and he has the most dominant fastball in the history of the game. He has a chance to set the MLB record for fewest hits allowed per nine innings for a starter (he’s currently allowing 4.78 hits per nine innings; the record is 5.07, set in 1916) and he leads all pitchers this year in ERA, strikeouts and WHIP.Both Sánchez and Sale have had Cy Young-worthy seasons, but will not be able to catch the Miz, not this year at least.American League Cy Young AwardWinner: Cam Schlittler, RHP, New York YankeesRunner-up: Dylan Cease, RHP, Toronto Blue JaysWhen the season started, Tarik Skubal and Garrett Crochet were the favorites to win this award. Injuries scuttled that prediction, as Skubal had in-season elbow surgery and was later traded to the Dodgers, while Crochet has spent most of his season on the injured list.This opened the door for Schlittler to emerge as the most dominant pitcher in the AL. Through Tuesday, he’d yielded one run or fewer in 19 of his starts. He leads the AL in ERA and has been a reliable ace for a Yankees team that has needed one, with Max Fried, Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón all missing significant time with injuries.Cease hasn’t matched that level of domination on a start-by-start basis, but he’s overwhelmed hitters in many of his outings and leads the league in strikeouts. He should be the runner-up.National League Relief Pitcher of the Year AwardWinner: Mason Miller, RHP, San Diego PadresRunner-up: Jhoan Duran, RHP, Philadelphia PhilliesMason Miller has been nearly unhittable all season. (David Frerker / Imagn Images)Miller is the most dominant reliever in baseball. He leads NL relievers in ERA (0.96 ERA) while converting 32 of 33 save opportunities with 102 strikeouts in 56 1/3 innings. His 101.5-mph fastball and wipeout slider are nearly unhittable and mixing in a changeup just isn’t fair.
