Zack Greinke

[imb]

Greinke is going to run away with the award. Voters love win totals but they also love ERA, and he's killing it.

I hope Greinke wins it, it give the Royals fans somethign to hang their hats on. It's been awhile since they've had somethign really nice happen to their franchise.

[Coach C]

Through 5, he has not allowed a run.

[Coach C]

And he finally gives up a earned run. Dang.

He had the best ERA in the AL before the All-Star break (2.12). He's had the best ERA in the AL since the All-Star break (1.97). He started the season by giving up two earned runs in his first 45 innings. He goes into his final start of the season with two earned runs allowed in his past 42 innings. The Kansas City Star's Sam Mellinger tells us Greinke has a 1.24 ERA against teams with winning records -- and a better ERA in his non-wins (3.23) than Sabathia's overall ERA (3.31). And baseball-reference.com tells us Greinke has a league-adjusted, park-adjusted ERA-plus of 213 (meaning he's been 113 percent better than your average pitcher) -- a figure matched by only three AL pitchers (Lefty Grove, Roger Clemens, Pedro Martinez) in the live-ball era.

It should be unanimous, but I am sure someone will be voting for CC regardless.
