LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse.While the Cubs cruise toward the National League Central crown, Chicagos Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant have emerged as the top two candidates for NL MVP.Just how close is the race between the two Cubs stars??Id give them co-MVP if it was me, teammate Mike Montgomery?says. Or create another award that was just as good as MVP. Its too hard to pick between them. They both complement each other so well.Since co-MVPs is unlikely and we doubt that MLB would create another award to honor both players, we break down the case for each star and give you the chance to vote below.?The MVP case for each starBryant: Hes the NL leader in WAR, home runs and runs scored and ranks second in OPS. On top of all that he has played more than adequately at six positions. At this moment it makes his case for MVP a simple one. -- Jesse RogersRizzo: Although Bryant has caught him in RBIs and surpassed him in OPS, Rizzo still has a higher on-base percentage and has been his protection in the lineup, hitting behind him while Bryant has gone on a tear.dddddddddddd And Rizzos 1.35 strikeout-to-walk ratio dwarfs Bryants 2.08. And if you believe in clutch stats, Rizzo is hitting .319 with a .524 OBP in situations deemed late or close. Bryant is only .229/.327 in those situations. -- RogersEndorsing the candidatesJason Hammel on Anthony Rizzo:?Rizzo has been doing it for a while. Hes been our leader. You cant overlook him.Ben Zobrist on Kris Bryant:?Its pretty incredible. You start expecting the home runs. Youre not even surprised anymore when he gets 5 hits or hits 3 home runs. Its become an everyday thing. ' ' '
