• Matt Kemp -- Leads the league in offensive WAR. Has an outside shot at the Triple Crown. Is on pace to become the Dodgers' second member in the 30-30 Club. (The other? Raul Mondesi. Who else?) Sits at No. 1 in our ESPN MVP predictor rankings. The question is, does that make Kemp an MVP? Remember, he has done all this for a team that hasn't spent a day above .500 since April. "Can't do it," one NL exec said. "Can't pick him. His team's not even close to being in the race."
Talk about a left-handed compliment. And a strong NL East, Philly-loving bias.

So Matt Kemp isn't the most valuable player because his teammates suck? Where's the logic in that?
That is why he needs to be MVP, no one in front of him to get on base, still a leader in rbi's. No one behind him to protect him, still a leader in batting avg.

Agree, but that's about all the narrative we have with which to spin.
They must all meet the same girl who has a foot fetish and bammo, toe infection.
