    Cy Young Race

    Admit it...the most shocking thing about this points thing is it somehow found a way to put Jackson in the top10.

    Where site did this come from? I think there's gotta be a near zero chance Strasburg wins the CYA considering he's been the 3rd best pitcher on his own team to this point. Not that he hasn't been fantastic this year as well, but CYA traditionally is closely tied to ERA leaders. He's leading the NL in wins, so I guess he'll get some votes for that, but I can't imagine he will win the CYA unless he gives up 1 earned run or less in each of his last 4-5 starts.

    At this point, I think it's gotta be a 3 person race between Ryu (ERA leader and AS game starter), Degrom, and Scherzer. Scherzer is performing the best on a per start basis, but he's at a disadvantage with the missed time due to injury. Soroka is edging his way in as well, but like Scherzer, the missed time due to injury at the start of the year is going to hurt him. I predict a Degrom repeat.

    DeGrom is strangely missing.

    Luke Jackson in a top 10 CY candidates list. LOL! Is this fake news?

    Strasburg has been better than Corbin

    They've been extremely close, so I'm not gonna bother saying one is clearly better than the other. Either way, both are clearly behind Degrom and Scherzer.

    LOL, an ESPN page based on work done by Neyer back in 2004...how very ESPN of them.

    Back then CYA voters weighed W/L record very heavily, and as a result Luke Jackson's flukey 8-2 record is giving him a huge point bump in this horribly outdated model.

    If Neyer did similar work today his predictor formula would come up with the same 3-4 names you all are tossing around.
