Is Price leading the Cy Young race?

[BigCecil]

Big start for the team and for Price in the CY today.

 

Going to come down to the final week....for the Div and the CY.

[Mac Outlaw]

Today is the day that David Price is gonna win the CY.

 

Gonna be a great day, boys and girls.

 

Enjoy it.

[RealAccountant]

I don't think so. It's his last start in the regular season as a jag

[BTS]

Keuchel has to be the clear favourite right now, with one start left for each.

Why?

[GD]

Why?

 

Cause BTS owns him in DDL

[BTS]

Why?

 

 

Equal ERA, much better xFIP, more innings, more wins. Better pitcher.

doze wins!

highly questionable

[BTS]

It could matter if he gets to 20, because Price won't.

Bit of a noob question but why is Keuchel's xfip lower than Price's, is it because Keuchel's fly ball rates are lower?

[FrozenRopes]

Cy Young- Price

MVP-Donaldson

Gold Glove - K. Pillar

Silver Slugger - Toronto Blue Jays

his flyball to homerun rate is pretty normal, where as Price's rate is way below average

Yeah. FIP counts HRs and xFIP counts GB rate.

lol

[BTS]

Keuchel has it won now. s***** defense f***ed Price. He would have to be digusting in his last start and Keuchel would have to be pretty bad.

 

I think there's still a decent chance the voters choose Price, though it will probably be Keuchel. If Keuchel wins his next start to get to 20 it's over.

I don't think 20 wins is the determining factor here. Sure it stands out, but what Price has done since arriving in Toronto is pretty damn impressive. That 2 hitter vs the yanks last week was the biggest games pitched in this city in 20 years and he was outstanding from day one. I'm biased, but I take Price regardless of what happens this next week.

I agree. It's a close race but all things considered I think price wins this.

[Slade]

I wonder how much it will matter if Houston misses the postseason?

[Krylian]

It will have an impact.

It shouldn't.

Keuchel has been doing it all year too though. Houston is currently in a WC spot and without him they're well under 0.500 and have been out of the race for a long time.

I'm not sure how anyone could think Keuchel has the edge right now. Why, because he has one extra pitcher win? LOL. Price has him in ERA, Ks, BB rate, FIP, and WAR, and plays for a much higher profile team. This is Price's to lose at the moment, and I don't think it even matters if Keuchel gets to 20 W.

Price has a 1-point lead in ERA-, Keuchel has a 13-point lead in xFIP-. Nobody should care about FIP. Keuchel also has a small edge in IP. Objectively, he's had the better year. If he wins 20 and the Astros make it I think it's his.

Why? Because giving up homeruns doesn't matter? It's only expected homeruns? lol
