AL CY Young Favorites

Mike Leius - Season 7 CY Young winner looks to be the favorite to win it again. Maybe not quite the outright favorite that Yamil is in the NL, but almost. At only 24 years old he should be good to win a few more.
15 wins, 6 losses, 2 CG, 168 K, 2.49 era, 1.02 whip in 23 starts

Marty Howell - Howell, a season 8 player of the week award winner, doesn't quite have the stats of Leius. He is only 24 years old, so he should be a great pitcher for many seasons to come.
14 wins, 3 losses, 0 CG, 102 K, 3.15 era, 1.19 whip in 27 starts

Olmedo Mercedes - Mercedes is having a solid season. Definitely a career best for Mercedes.
14 wins, 4 losses, 1 CG, 124 K, 3.71 era, 1.41 whip in 24 starts

Britt Swindell - This 2 time CY Young award winner is having another great season. Statistically Leuis is a little better, so Swindell is probably a long shot at this point to win number 3.
13 wins, 5 losses, 2 CG, 155 K, 3.95 era, 1.36 whip, in 24 starts

Jeff Stanley - Stanley is having a great season, but he is another long shot.
13 wins, 6 losses, 0 CG, 92 K, 2.59 era, 1.25 whip in 22 starts
