Whether DeGrom wins or not, there's no doubt he was baseballs best pitcher. The ERA speaks for itself, add to that his strikeouts. All said however, don't be shocked if the 10-9 denies him. The level of support by his team with respect to his performance was pathetic to say the least. If not for his last two starts, he would have ended with a losing record.
Nolan Ryan with the Astros won the ERA title one year and ended with a 8-16 record, so its not unheard of.
