Dark-Horse MLB Award Contenders Who Could Make a Late Charge

The final two months of the MLB season carry so much weight, it's tough to predict who will walk away with baseball's major awards here in the middle of August.

There are obvious front-runners for both AL and NL MVP, Cy Young and Rookie of the Year honors as things currently stand, but a lot can change between now and the end of the season.

We saw that very thing happen last year, when Felix Hernandez looked like the clear favorite for AL Cy Young honors only to wind up losing the award to Corey Kluber after he finished the season on fire.

With that in mind, let's take a look at who currently lines up as the front-runner for each of those three major awards in both leagues, as well as a dark horse for each who could emerge to make a late-season push.
