Do you think King Felix is the lock for Cy Young this season?

    As of right now, definitely the front runner. But I wouldn't say "lock", simply because of Chris Sale.

    Felix: 14-5 with a 0.92 WHIP, 2.12 ERA, 217 K's in 212.0 innings

    Sale: 11-3 with a 0.94 WHIP, 2.09 ERA, 183 K's in 155.0 innings

    And Kluber is there, too. Not at their level, but say on the off chance he pitches two shutouts, only allows a few baserunners, and strikes out a bunch of his next two starts. That will bring his WHIP under 1.00, his ERA down to 2.19, and his strikeouts up to 240-250. The chance of the happening, and Felix having a few bad starts to end the season? Extremely unlikely, but possible, so I wouldn't call it a no doubt "lock yet".

    Depends on the voters, I think. Felix has been better for longer than Sale this year (30 starts vs. 23 starts), but pound for pound, inning for inning, Sale has been better.

    As close to a lock as you can get. He's been dominant to say the least.
