Why are there 4 more voters for the NL award than the AL award? Is that because there are two voters for each team in each league so that there are 28 voters in the AL (14 x 2) and 32 voters in the NL (16 x 2)?
How the heck did Votto get only one first-place vote? I won't argue that Soto shouldn't have won (though I could), but it definitely should have been a lot closer. Ridiculous.

I think that's correct, Doug.
Thanks, Craig. Asymmetry bothers me but I've never seen anybody explain it.

Of course, seeing how non-informed the voters obviously are (Volquez?)...
