    Tomorrow's Texas/Tampa Bay game PROVES who should win the AL Cy Young
    Looks like David Price is a small favorite to win the AL Cy Young award at many sportsbooks I have seen lately but in tomorrow's game the Texas Rangers are FAVORED over the Tampa Bay Rays ON THE ROAD and that is proof that Lee should win the award.

    Though Price has been good, Lee has been exceptional this year. Lee has the best strikeout to walk ratio I think I have ever seen with 137 strikeouts and only 9 walks on the year. The last 5 games Lee has 40k's to just 2 walks. Can't believe he doesn't win this award easily but Price is the small favorite in the places I have seen.

      Though I feel strongly about Lee and I hate betting against him, I do like the Rays if I can get +105 or more at home.

      I just don't believe in the Rangers as much as everyone else does, especially on the road and after just playing a big emotional weekend series against Boston.

      I sense a slight letdown and the Rays winning in a low scoring game. Will say Rays 2-1 win.

            Not saying that at all. Hope people don't think that is what I mean.

            What I am saying by looking at the line that tells us that Lee is more deserving based on the face he is favored on the road with actually a slightly worse team.

            LOL. Now that I read what I wrote it may be read that way, that the game tomorrow proves that. Not what I meant at all. I am saying that just by looking at the actual line on the game is the indication Lee is much stronger of the two.

              cy young doesn't go to the most talented pitcher man, it goes to the one who had the best season. cliff lee just doesn't have enough wins right now to be the favorite.

                CLAY BUCHHOLTZ is close to having as good a year as PRICE


                WINS

                PRICE 15
                CLAY 13

                ERA

                CLAY 2.49
                PRICE 2.84


                Not bad for a guy that was slated as the teams 6th or 7th SP at the start of the season.

                VERY QUIETLY putting together a very solid season.
