I'm still curious to see how the Cy Young race turns out.
Carpenter has Timmy beat in wins and ERA, but Timmy has 2 CGSO and over 100 more strikeouts than Carpenter. He's also done pretty much everything better than Wainright minus the win column also.
Also wanted to post this:

I would bet that Wainwright is now the favorite. I think Timmy comes on 3rd.
I definitely think Carpenter and Timmy have been much more dominant than Wainright and should be the top two.
Timmy has more quality starts than Carpenter and Wainright, but not by much. I think it will be interesting to be honest with you.
These 3 will go 1-2-3 there is no doubt. I just dont see how TImmy is going to win it when the Cards are the division champs, Timmy won just 15 games, and Wainwright has a chance to be the only 20 game winner in the NL. I just would be very very surprised if Linecum won the award.
Wainwrights stats are pretty sick... 19-8 2.58 era 204 Ks
Carpenter has 2 less wins , fewer QS,and 60 less k's but a better era.
Great race this year...
Tim Lincecum: 2.48 ERA, 15-7, 261 K, 1.05 WHIP, .206 BAA
A. Wainwright: 2.58 ERA, 19-8, 204 K, 1.21 WHIP, .244 BAA
C. Carpenter: 2.24 ERA, 17-4, 144 K, 1.01 WHIP, .226 BAA
You could make a case for any of these guys.
I hope Timmy's got enough cred to win it this year, but I think he finishes 2nd behind Carpenter.
