\"MLB<\/p>\n

The Boston Red Sox\u2019 ace Garrett Crochet is having an amazing season, proving that he was the main thing the Sox needed to get back into the playoff picture. Now, he\u2019s running his own race for the Cy Young award, where he sits in second place.<\/p>\n

However, some critics believe Crochet still has a chance at overtaking his competition in Detroit Tigers\u2019 ace Tarik Skubal. MLB analyst Mark DeRosa is one of those critics, as he believes Crochet has a legit chance.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Skubal] had him in pretty everything; couple more punch outs, the ERA is just a smidge better, but it\u2019s gonna go down to the wire, it\u2019s gonna go back and forth, [Garrett] Crochet has a legit chance to overtake him after last night,\u201d DeRosa stated.<\/p>\n

As of today, Skubal has 11 wins, a 2.28 ERA with 166 innings pitched, 212 strikeouts, a WHIP of 0.87, and a WAR of 5.8. Crochet on the other hand has 14 wins, a 2.38 ERA with 166.1 innings pitched, 207 strikeouts, a WHIP of 1.06, and a WAR of 5.2.<\/p>\n

Could Crochet catch up to Skubal? It\u2019s a definite possibility. The Red Sox have one of the strongest schedules in the MLB for the remaining season, but Crochet has proven that he doesn\u2019t care how good a team is, he\u2019s still going to dominate.<\/p>\n

As for Skubal, the Tigers\u2019 strength of schedule is one of the weakest in the MLB. This means he\u2019ll have multiple times to clearly dominate the opposing teams.<\/p>\n

So, it really comes down to if Skubal has some really bad games against weak teams, and Crochet needs to not have any against strong teams. So while it might not be easy, there still is a chance for Crochet to walk home with the Cy Young.<\/p>\n
