Will a Met be the MVP?

Marty Noble at Mets.com gives the chances that Carlos Beltran, David Wright or Jose Reyes will wind up with the NL MVP:

At one point this year, it seemed the only way a Met would win the MVP this season was if the Cardinals finished in third place and/or Albert Pujols disappeared. But Pujols has come back to earth a little of late -- he still leads the league in slugging percentage, on-base percentage and batting average with runners in scoring position -- as have the Cardinals. But as long as the Cardinals are National League Central champions, it's difficult to imagine anyone denying him a second straight MVP Award, least of all a Met.

Chances are that whatever MVP support Mets players receive will be split among David Wright, Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran. Even if all three are included on each ballot cast, it's unlikely they would be in the same sequence; consequently, none would be the clear-cut Mets candidate and none would benefit from the way points are awarded in the balloting by members of the Baseball Writers Association of America -- two writers from each city covering a National League team.
A first-place vote is awarded 14 points, but a second-place vote is assigned only nine points. Then it's eight for third place, seven for fourth and so on.

Because first-place votes award 14 points, it's conceivable that the three Mets could finish in the top 10 and have fewer points collectively than Pujols. For the sake of argument, say Wright was fourth (seven points) on a ballot, Reyes was seventh (four points) and Beltran ninth (two points), the Mets would have 13 points to the 14 the player listed first would have.
The Mets have never had an MVP, and that probably will continue come November.

And right now, there is no way to choose one Met over the other two.
