The Cy Youngs were announced on Wednesday night, and the American League was the more interesting race of the two. Really, it came down to a couple of pitchers with both Justin Verlander and Blake Snell each having strong cases. Ultimately, it came down to how important innings were for you, because Snell was dominant but only over 180 innings. I would have voted for Snell, and sure enough he was the one to take home the award, further confirming my genius. The Rays’ lefty pitched to an absurd 1.89 ERA over his 31 starts with 11 strikeouts per nine innings.
