Last week, Richard Justice of MLB.com released his top 10 dark horse candidates for Most Valuable Player in 2018. That list included two Milwaukee Brewers - Christian Yelich and Travis Shaw. Earlier this week, Justice followed up his dark horse MVP post with one choosing his top 10 dark horse Cy Young Award candidates, and once again a member of our local nine is included as an under-the-radar name to keep an eye on: right-hander Zach Davies.
Atop the list sits Aaron Nola of Philadelphia, followed by Trevor Bauer of the Indians and Lance McCullers from the defending-champion Astros.
