Awards watch: Kris Bryant not a lock for NL MVP

Let's take a look at Dan Szymborski's latest MVP and Cy Young odds:

I'm a little surprised Kris Bryant doesn't have larger odds over Daniel Murphy and Chicago Cubs teammate Anthony Rizzo, because as I eyeball all the baseball commentary -- OK, maybe not all -- it seems like Bryant is the overwhelming favorite at this point. It's also possible I may be focusing too much on the WAR leaderboards, where Bryant has the sizable advantage over Murphy (7.2 to 4.4 on Baseball-Reference and 7.7 to 5.5 on FanGraphs).
