Hands down? Hardly. In the numbers that seem to count for the Cy Young (wins & ERA), Kershaw is pretty much in a dead heat with Halladay. I'm a Phils fan (I'm 5 minutes from one of their minor league affiliates), but if I had to vote today, I'd give it to Kershaw simply because he's done it for a lousy team with, ostensibly, a lot of distractions.

There are still over 30 to play and Kershaw and Halladay are noses apart. Each probably has about 6 starts left, although Manuel might 'save' Halladay a bit for the post-season, even though he's a proven hoss who wants the ball every 5 days. Performance down the stretch will decide it.
