DeGrom's last start of the year, 8 innings, 2 hits, no walks, no runs, 10 strikeouts (to get his career total to exactly 1,000 K's). Final record: 10-9 (double-digit wins and a winning record), check. Final ERA: 1.70 over 32 starts and 217 innings, best in the majors (nearest ERA competitor 2.45), check. Playing all year for a lousy team and probably would have a 20-9 record otherwise, check.
Jacob DeGrom should be the NL Cy Young Award winner for 2018. Period.
