Series 48: Home is Where the Heart Is - Rays @ Jays

[herman]

That's Donaldson pretty much locking down the MVP vote.

Remember when the Jays were sniffing around Papbelbon?  Yeah, bullet dodged.

As interesting as the Donaldson/Trout MVP race is, the Price/Kuechel Cy Young question might be just as good:

Price: 220 IP, 225 K, 1.08 WHIP, 2.45 ERA

Keuchel: 226 IP, 213K, 1.01 WHIP, 2.47 ERA

Keuchel: 226 IP, 213K, 1.01 WHIP, 2.47 ERA

And FWIW, by WAR:

Price: fWAR 6.4; bWAR 6.1
Keuchel: fWAR 5.8; bWAR 6.8

Chris Sale should be in the conversation too, but likely won't due to the team he's on.

I think these 53 home wins are the most since 85...

It's interesting, I don't know if I've ever seen BR and Fangraphs disagree on a player as much as they seem to disagree on Sale this year. I guess it's because of how much more Fangraphs relies on FIPS though.

It'll be interesting. Only one player has won the Cy Young after being traded mid-season.

Non-Jays, but Jake Arrieta is just ridiculous right now.

Which is A) Incredible and B) Makes me appreciate what Zack Greinke has done even more.
