That said, Greinke deserves the Cy Young. IMO, he'll get it. Especially if he's competing against Sabbathia's 19 wins. Sabbathia's ERA is strike one against him, his bad outing to finish the season is strike two, and the fact that he's a Yankee is strike three.

He's no longer competing against CC. CC has no chance. Verlander and King Felix have 19 wins, too, while putting up better numbers. King Felix has been like Greinke-light this season; he's very, very good.
