Markus,

This has to be a bug of some sort. I just finished the 2019 season in which Cub ace Marcus Stroman went 23 - 5 with a 2.67 ERA. That was the most wins and sixth best ERA for a starter.

Meanwhile the Dodger's Clayton Kershaw goes 11 - 11 with the same 2.67 ERA and he wins the Cy Young Award!!!!!

Even my second best pitcher did far better than Kershaw. Matt Latos went 20 - 4 with a 2.65 ERA and he didn't even finish in the top three.

This kind of inexplicable logic really takes away from the game. Since no pitcher would ever win the Cy Young based on 11 wins, could you please explain how this happened?
