Dodgers pitchers Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw, and Chicago Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta, are the three finalists for the National League Cy Young Award.

Greinke, who went 19-3 with a major-league leading 1.66 earned-run average, was chosen National League pitcher of the year by fellow players on Monday.

Kershaw, who won the award in 2014, went 16-7 with a 2.13 earned-run average. Arrieta was 22-6 with a 1.77 earned-run average, leading the NL in wins and shutouts (3).

The winner will be announced at 3 p.m. PT next Wednesday on MLB Network.

Greinke won the 2009 American League Cy Young Award when he pitched for the Kansas City Royals.

No other Dodgers players are finalists for the major BBWAA awards.
