From familiar faces to virtual unknowns, this year’s MLB award races are quite interesting. As mid-June arrives, the contests are heating up in a very real way, and with each MLB club playing at least 60 games by this point, the sample sizes continue to grow.

Do you believe in these numbers? Are we talking about flukes? That is for you to decide, but we do our best to handicap the pursuits on a regular basis (post-Memorial Day edition here) and we’re back for another attempt. Let’s get it going with NL Rookie of the Year.
