The SF Giants had several candidates for team MVP through the first half, but it is hard to argue against Robbie Ray being the team's most valuable player. The left-handed pitcher had an amazing start to the season.
In 20 starts on the year, Ray has a 9-3 record with a 2.65 ERA in 119 innings pitched. He has had 128 strikeouts compared to 44 walks and has a WHIP of 1.08. Those numbers were good enough to earn him his second career All-Star nod.
