Three stars lead the pack, representing each of the American League's divisions. All have been able to maintain a consistently high average to accompany big power numbers.
In the East, Robinson Cano has emerged as the rock in the Yankees lineup, batting .321 with 28 home runs and 104 RBIs.
From the Central division, Miguel Cabrera is batting .326 with 35 home runs and 120 RBIs.
Lastly, Josh Hamilton has bounced back from a disappointing 2009 and handled a switch from center to left field with ease. Hamilton leads the AL with a .361 batting average to go along with 31 home runs and 97 RBIs.
But Hamilton has missed most of September with a rib injury, and Cabrera's Tigers have long been out of the playoffs. Does this leave Cano as the favorite, or should the numbers do the talking?
Who do you think should win the AL MVP award?
