Despite a thrilling run to the AL wild card, Tampa Bay dropped a big league-high 19 percent to 18,846.

f the Texas Rangers should also find themselves on the backend of the ballot. The National League race should end a little closer than what the AL race likely will. That's because a real strong case could be made for Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies teammates Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee, as well as Arizona Diamondbacks ace Ian Kennedy. Kennedy isn't likely to challenge these three on the ballots, but he has had a remarkable season nonetheless. Kennedy shares the
