| Cy Young for the Kersh |
Justin Verlander has gotten a ton of attention this year and rightfully so. His numbers are great 24-5, 2.29 ERA, 244 Ks, and many say he should win the MVP as well as the Cy Young. And maybe he should, but in all regards a Clayton Kershaw has had an equal if not better season on a much worst team. After 7.1 innings of one run baseball yesterday, he has lowered his ERA to 2.27. He has 242 Ks and a 20-5 record on a not great, until late, Dodger team. His season has put the Dodgers above .500 again for the first time since April. And his inner fire is evident and shown by his teammates, Kemp tweeted last night, "Amazing accomplishment 4 Mr. Kershaw! That dude works hard and deserves every ounce of success he gets. 20 wins at 23...Ballin!! #BEASTMODE." Javy Guerra, who got the save last night said, "Great team win tonight, Feels good to see Kershaw get his 20th! CY young no doubt. And a class act all the way threw." Don't get me wrong Verlander is having a great season. He is 19-2 in his last 21 starts. And is perhaps the biggest reason the Tiger were able to put on a great streak and take the AL Central. Both have had outstanding seasons and both should win their respective leagues Cy Youngs. Should Verlander get the MVP maybe, but don't look at his numbers without giving Kershaws a look also.
