2010 SB Nation NL Cy Young Award: Roy Halladay Wins, Kershaw 9th

Roy Halladay adjusted to the National League just fine in 2010, and as a result he easily won the SB Nation National League Cy Young Award, capturing all 33 first place votes. The points were awarded on a 7-4-3-2-1 basis this year, the first year with expanded ballots including five players instead of three, just like the BBWAA. Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers received three fifth-place votes, finishing ninth overall. Here are the results:
