This year’s battle for NL MVP honors features some of the league’s brightest young stars and established veterans in the prime of their careers.

Paul Goldschmidt – Cardinals (-1429)
Last Week: Goldschmidt launched two home runs and recorded five RBI in the Cards’ 8-3 win over the Chicago Cubs on August 25. That would be it for the 34-year-old in the run-producing department, although he is currently riding a six-game hit streak.
This Week: A monumental favorite to walk away with this year’s NL MVP Award, Goldschmidt is poised for another monster showing with upcoming series against the Cincinnati Reds and Cubs.
