1. Kershaw
2. Arrieta
3. Greinke

But Arrieta will win since voters only look at wins, and he's part of a "feel good story" involving the Cubs. It won't be a crime if he wins it as he's been fantastic. Kershaw has just been better.

Kershaw has a step in most metrics.

fWAR
FIP
xFIP
SIERA
then he has the Ks and IP.

Still think a number of voters will like the ERA and WHIPs posted by Greinke and Arrieta.
I hope Greinke gets it but I wouldn't scream bloody murder if Arrieta got it. He's worthy.

Grienke. Dude has just been insane all year.

It's hard not to give it to Greinke at this point, but there's still a few starts left. I'm excited to see Arrietta on the mound tonight. He's had a record-breaking 2nd half...would love to see him edge out Greinke.

Who we think will win or who should win?

Kershaw should win, insane strikeout numbers and continues to lead the league in FIP. Best pitcher in the world right now.

Arrieta and Greinke have great shots at winning, depends on how much the voters value wins (Arrieta), ERA (Greinke), and strikouts (Kershaw).
