I would vote Verlander if I had such a vote to cast

 

[Dan Lambskin]

When do they announce Verlander as the winner?

 

[Peyton Marino]

it's close, but I give Porcello the nod over Verlander and Kluber.  lower ERA- (though still very close), FIP discrepancies not that large (and he's actually better than Verlander in FIP), xFIP- favors Kluber/Verlander, but I've become relatively more bearish on xFIP over the past couple seasons (I think we can do better as far as pitching evaluation goes.  just as an aside, Pineda leads the AL in xFIP- this year)

don't really think you can go wrong with any of the 3.  as long as we don't do something dumb (like picking a guy who only threw 67 innings) i'll be OK.

Agreed, very close all around. I have it Verlander with slight lead over Porcello, slight edge over Kluber

Why didn't he pitch in the bottom of the 8th? That was when the season was really on the line.

So, uhhhhhh.... Why didn't he pitch the bottom of the 9th, 10th, 11th? That was when the season was really on the line. No chance this guy is the Cy Young.

It better come out that Britton's arm fell off before the game.
