Yes, he is the reigning National League MVP, and the two-time defending NL Cy Young award winner. 

And yes, he is currently cast as a candidate on the NL All-Star Game Final Vote. 

After going 21-3 in 2014, Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw has an unappealing record of 5-6 this season, and his MVP-worthy 1.77 ERA has ballooned to 3.08 throughout the first three months of this season. 

Thus, even though his 147 strikeouts are good for first in the NL, Kershaw has landed on the five-man Final Vote ballot. The fate of his All-Star break plans rest on a fan vote.
