Emerson Hancock to win AL Cy Young

Tarik Skubal’s unfortunate injury leaves the AL Cy Young race wide open. Cam Schlittler is the current short shot, but it feels wise to take a look around the board and see if there’s a case to be made for a longer price past the Schlittler-Fried-Cease-deGrom grouping. 

And this is where I offer up young Mariners up–and-comer Emerson Hancock.

Opponents are hitting just .225 against him, down close to 45 points from a year ago. 

At this price, I’ll certainly take an educated stab.
