Las Vegas - Of course every one knows Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. Jacob deGrom has come back to life in Texas after some injuries and Garrett Crochet is spinning for the Red Sox. Lemme tell you a little about the Astros Hunter Brown who has numbers that are as good or better than Skubal, deGrom and Crochet. Brown is 9-3, Skubal is 10-2. Edge to Tarik. Brown's ERA is 1.82 while Skubal's is 2.15. Edge to Hunter. Tarik gets the nod in the K department with 138 while Hunter has 126. So Skubal is a tick better but Brown is certainly in the Cy conversation. He has not lost a game since May 21, allowing just 7 earned runs over 42 innings (1.50 ERA) while posting 53 Ks. Those numbers are partially why Houston has a solid 55-35 record and is running away with the American League West. Filling out an Astros deposit slip for the Bank of Benj.
