O’s Chris Davis Named AL MVP Finalist

The Orioles’ Chris Davis is one of three finalists for the annual Baseball Writers’ Association of America's American League Most Valuable player.

The award winner will be announced next Wednesday.

Davis, who hit a team record 53 home runs this season, is nominated along with the Tigers' Miguel Cabrera, the defending MVP, and last year’s Rookie of the Year Mike Trout.

Despite Davis’ career year, Cabrera, who in 2012 was the first player to lead the league in batting average, home runs and runs batted in since 1967, is the favorite to win the award again this year.

Cabrera, who played a large portion of the season hurt, lead the league in batting average, on base percentage and slugging percentage.

Check out the statistics for all three players:
