The Cy Young Award is the highest award a pitcher can receive. This award is given out to the best pitcher in the American league and National league. The award can be won with the best ERA, best record or the batting average of a team when facing that pitcher. The overall stats of the pitcher determine if they are considered in the conversation of winning it. Here are my predictions on who is going to win the Cy Young in the AL & NL.

AL Cy Young Winner- Cole Hamels

Hamels has made opposing batters look silly this year. With a record of 13-4 not many teams have had success against him. He has a ERA of 2.80 witch is 2^nd among all AL pitchers. He has a WHIP of 1.28 and has pitched 160.2 innings for the Texas Rangers. He has 159 strikeouts and makes batters guessing every time they are up at the plate.

Danny Duffy- 2.66 ERA 11-1

Rick Porcello- 3.23 ERA 17-3

NL Cy Young winner- Madison Bumgarner

Bumgarner is by far the best pitcher in the NL. He has an ERA of 2.44 and his record is 12-8. His WHIP is 1.05 witch is considered one of the best in baseball. Without Bumgarner, the Giants aren’t in playoff contention. He has pitched 180.2 innings witch lead the league. Bumgarner has 202 strikeouts and also makes people guessing up at the plate.
