Look at the graphic above.
Oh and his ERA plus is like 4x higher than the rest of these guys.
So with that in mind, you simply cannot say he doesn’t deserve the award.
The only question is: does someone else deserve it more?
Don’t get me wrong, Skubal is having a hell of a year.
But starting pitchers have had better years than that.
5 runs all fucking year.
And that’s where I think Clase should win the award.
Should that not matter?
Apparently not, according to the DraftKings Sportsbook….
That’s an absolute shame.
A shame that it’s not even close.
A shame that the Guardians outperformed their win total by the time they had 20+ games remaining.
A shame that the Guardians beat the Tigers in the season series.
A shame that by all metrics involved, this should be a down to the wire race.
Clase should have to go scoreless the rest of the season.
Every start by Skubal should be under a microscope.
This should be the talk of baseball.
