NL Cy Young

[Mike A. S.]

As I said before, that CYA model puts an emphasis on the pitchers' records and how their teams are in the standings. The whole point of the CYA predictor isn't to say who should win, it's saying who will win based on how the Cy Young voting has gone throughout the history of the award. The predictor was developed by Rob Neyer and Bill James. Keep in mind it also had Felix 7th in 2010 and it had Jansen winning last year. I'd also say there's fewer traditional voters than there were, say, a decade ago.

Gotcha. I just joined this mid-thread and didn't see that it was just a predictor. But still, I don't like the Mets and I'd still be angry if he doesn't win just because of his record...but especially if he falls below anyone but Scherzer...even Nola. Scherzer should be the only one that is competition at all for winning.

This really is an interesting race between Scherzer and Degrom...

It is actually much closer than I first thought

Both have 28 QS, But Degrom has one less game

THey practically have identical WHIPs, Scherzer is about .01 better

Both pitched in the SAME division

Really there is only 3 differences...

Win/Loss record, ERA, SO

and 2 of those three Scherzer leads Degrom pretty handedly...

and Scherzer hit the SO bench mark of 300

Degrom only has ERA compared to Scherzer... and that too is not very close, AND Degrom Broke the bench mark of having an ERA below 2.00

So really, this could go both ways...

On One hand Can you give the CY to someone with ONLY 10 wins??

On the other hand are you willing to give a pitcher their 4th CY when it is so close... can you ticket him to the HOF THIS SEASON??

their WHIPs are identical, but deGrom has allowed 13 fewer home runs.

their WHIPs are identical, but deGrom has allowed 13 fewer home runs.

Which is a clear reason why the ERAs are not close... But lets not measure that stat in multiple ways...LOL

 

[The Q]

Scherzer has one more start to make his case.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Scherzer has one more start to make his case.

cant really help his case... really can only hurt it...

I don't know, a real strong outing damn sure couldn't hurt.

I don't know, a real strong outing damn sure couldn't hurt.

But how does it help??

He needs a complete game shutout to CHANGE people’s vote to him.
