If the SB Nation National League Cy Young Award ballot is any indication, there's not a lot of space between the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw and Phillies' Roy Halladay in 2011. In fact, there's absolutely none. With the BBWAA voting be this close? Probably not.
Kershaw and Halladay finished tied for first with 149 points a piece, with Kershaw claiming 14 first place votes to Halladay's thirteen. Phillies' lefty Cole Hamels claimed the sole remaining first place vote, and finished fifth overall. Cliff Lee finished third, with the Diamondbacks Ian Kennedy coming in fourth.
