Kershaw vs. Greinke

     Until July, Zack Greinke was the ace of the Dodgers, and the clear Cy Young winner.

     After 2014's unheard of numbers, everybody expected big things out of the left handed ace of the Dodgers known as Clayton Kershaw. However, things did not go as planned in the early weeks of the season for Kershaw. In April he had an ERA of 3.73, and May (3.97 ERA) he settled down in June, posting a 2.16 ERA in 42.1 innings pitched, and then having a major month of July, with an incredible 0.27 ERA in 33 innings. On top of that, Kershaw has the 2015 strikeout lead, with an incredible 11.42 k/9. Kershaw pitches  tonight, gunning for his 15th win, which would put him in contention for the Cy Young award, which would be his third in a row. 
     1.63. 1.63! An incredible ERA. Zack Greinke may not strike out as many people as his team mate Clayton Kershaw, but he allows less runs than him. Zack Greinke was the clear cut Cy Young for most of the year, until a bad outing in June brought his ERA up from the 1.3's to the 1.6's. Regardless, Greinke has one of the best records in baseball, 18-3, all while consistently going 7 or 8 innings, rarely giving up more than one run.
    So the question is, who's the Cy Young? From a consistency, wins, and ERA standpoint, you have to give to Greinke. But if you look at the past three months, ever since June, Kershaw has had an ERA of under 1.2, along with the strikeout lead. From a dominance standpoint, you have to give it to Kershaw. Who do you think should be the Cy Young. I certainly know who I think it should be.
