Matt Holliday National League M.V.P.?!

With all of the talking heads insisting that whoever wins the Most Valuable Player award in Major League Baseball, must be on a playoff team(a thought I feel is normally ridiculous) and should be which player has the impact numbers wise for his team.
So, in that instance shouldn't Matt Holliday be the front runner for National League M.V.P. award? Look at the all the important numbers since he came to the Cardinals in late July. He's been on a tear, racking up super numbers even with Mr. Pujols around. And most importantly look at the team's win-loss record since his arrival. He has had the most impact solidly helping push his team into October.
Granted, the man hitting in front of him is no slouch when it comes to it. The first three months he single-handidly carried this team, putting them in first place. But he's seemed to relax too much since his "protection" has arrived and his numbers have jumped down scores. But still shouldn't Matt Holliday get some respect for this award?
