King of the Hill

Felix Hernandez shutout on Wednesday put him in the lead in AL Cy Young Tracker points. The win with eight strikeouts puts him 4.2 points ahead of Dallas Keuchel. The King could end up topping his great 2014 season, as his ERA drops to 1.91 and he owns an 8-1 record. He has never won 20 games in a season, and less than 1/3 of the way through 2015 he’s 40% of the way there. He even has a chance at a total of wins in the high 20s, which might make up for some of those low ERA seasons with a record around .500.

Max Scherzer with his seven shutout innings and 13 K against the Cubs Wednesday night opened up a big lead in the NL race.
