Will an official scoring decision determine the winner of the 2014 AL Cy Young Award?
Kluber: 235.67 IP / 269 K / 51 BB / 2.44 ERA / 2.34 FIP / 1.095 WHIP
King F: 236.00 IP / 248 K / 46 BB / 2.14 ERA / 2.56 FIP/ 0.92 WHIP
In his final start of the season, Felix Hernandez tossed 5.33 IP scoreless, allowing only one base runner in the process. He lowered his league-leading ERA to 2.14.
Corey Kluber has been outstanding in September, making a run at the coveted hardware. In his last three starts, the right-hander pitched 23IP / 39K / 5BB / 3ER. The Indians ace trailed the King throughout the majority of the 2014 campaign in F12 Rating until his final outing of the season.
Hernandez struggled in his previous start against the Toronto Blue Jays, allowing eight runs in less than five innings. However, a scoring change was made on Saturday, which adjusted his ERA from 2.34 to 2.18. This might prove significant considering the razor thin separation between the two starters.
The final F12 numbers are in. Who will be crowned AL Cy Young for 2014?
