Will Chicago Cubs’ first baseman Derek Lee every stop hitting everything that’s thrown at him? Can Baltimore Orioles’ shortstop Miguel Tejada win an MVP awared if they continue to fade from contention? And why the hell is the New York Yankees’ Randy Johnson even put on the list for potential Cy Young award winners? And why can’t McDonald’s serve breakfast until noon?

These are the questions one can ask after Sportsbook released its odds on Major League Baseball’s awards at the end of the season. Lee leads the the National League MVP race as a 5-7 favorite, while the New York Yankees’ Alex “Flossing is Cool” Rodriguez is the front runner in the AL race at 5-2.
