Who will win the Cy Young Award for NL and AL this year?

Question

I think Brandon Webb easily has the NL

Cliff Lee is pretty well off to win it for the AL but Justin Duchscherer is a threat and so is Dice K but even though i think Dice K should get it he wont because he got hurt....GIVE ME STATS AND REASONS SOMEONE WILL WIN

Answer 1

AL Cliff Lee Leads the league in ERA and the AL in Wins. he has 30% of his terrible teams wins. pretty good. if K-rod breaks the record he might win.

NL Brandon Webb will win. 3rd in NL in ERA and NL in wins on a mediocre team. Personally i would vote for Tim Lincecum who leads the NL in ERA and MLB in strikeouts.

Answer 2

Everyone says Webb NL and Lee AL, here's what i think

NL

Why Tim Lincecum should win over Brandon Webb

Tim:     2.60 ERA/192 K's/.227 BAA/49 ER/140 Hits/13 W/3 L

Webb:  2.74 ERA/153 K's/.231 BAA/56 ER/157 Hits/19 W/4 L

sure, Webb has way more wins, but that's cuz the Giants bullpen and offense both suck and keep messing it up for him. He's leading in ERA, gets more Strikeouts, gives up less hits, less runs, i know Webb is great, but Tim has been better this season.

AL

Cliff Lee

Dice K has been good, but Lee has had a better ERA, and has gotten 18 wins on a team that hasn't done all that great this year, while Dice K gets wins on the Red Sox, one of the best hitting teams in baseball. i know, Dice K was injured this season, but it happens. and unfortunately that puts him at a disadvantage. we don't know what would have happened in those starts

Answer 6

NL  CC Sabathia, I know he hasn't been in the NL all year, but that's not his fault. He is hands down the best pitcher in the NL right now, and if he doesn't end up with a loss in the NL, then he deserves it. Come on he is 8-0 with 5 complete games and a 1.60 era in the NL, that's domination. I know Brandon Webb is great too, but if CC wins out the rest of the year and has a couple more complete games he should get it.

AL  Cliff Lee, I don't watch too much AL ball, but everytime I do see Lee pitch he is dominant, I don't know any of his stats though.

Answer 7

Brandon Webb has it for the NL easily. I think it's gonna be a race for the AL though. There's a lot of pitchers in it. Lee, Saunders, Mussina, Duchscherer.

Answer 8

In my humble opinion, if Sabathia continues his tear, and if Webb falters slightly at the end, I think the NL Cy Young should go to Sabathia.  He has been nearly unhittable since he got to Milwaukee.

As for the AL, I think it's going to come down to Halladay and Lee.  Duchscherer is sitting at 10 wins right now, and just went on the DL, so his run at the Cy Young is over.  Daisuke is not dominant enough; he gives up way too many walks, and has a high WHIP.  

Compared to Lee, Halladay has over 20 more innings pitched in just one more start, more K's, a silghtly better WHIP, and has had 5 more complete games than Lee.  All that Lee has is 3 more wins, and a slightly better ERA.  In my opinion, if Lee has just one bad start between now and the end of the season, and if Halladay stays strong, it'll go to Halladay.

Answer 9

NL: It HAS to be Brandon Webb... he's sooo good

AL: Well there are lots of good pitchers in the AL... I'll say Cliff Lee wins it
