Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler is predicted to be the frontrunner for the AL Cy Young award, ahead of Dylan Cease of the Blue Jays. According to Jim Bowden of The Athletic, Schlittler's consistent performance, having allowed one run or fewer in 19 of his starts, sets him apart. In contrast, Cease has allowed more than one run in over 45% of his outings. Schlittler's 2.16 ERA and 193 strikeouts in 158 innings highlight his dominance this season, while Cease maintains an impressive 2.37 ERA with 209 strikeouts in 144.1 innings.
