Many things will gain clarity in the final week of the 2018 Major League Baseball season, including the major awards races.

We're going to run through the four major honors in each of the American League and National League—Manager of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Cy Young Award and Most Valuable Player—and assess the top candidates' odds of winning.
These aren't meant to imply who should win but who will win based on the contenders' credentials and typical awards voting patterns.
