The only question for Wainwright is whether he finishes as the runner-up or in third place. Kershaw is the no-brainer decision to win his third CYA despite having missed the first month of the 2014 season. Regardless, it will be the fourth top-three finish in CYA voting for the Cardinals pitcher.
Wong will probably lose out to Hamilton but it’s an honor just to be considered as one of the top three rookies in the league.
