Rich Lederer at Baseball Analysts uses his QUAD statistic to look at the MVP races. What I like about this method is that it uses a voting technique to combine rankings of various categories.

His number give the AL award to A-Rod easily while putting the NL hardware in the hands of Derrek Lee by a hair. We’ll see if his NL prediction is as good as his AL prediction tomorrow.
