Why should Kershaw win?
Lower FIP, much better K-BB%. Basically, he is better at the things pitchers have the most control over. There is a lot of luck that goes into ERA (defense, batted ball luck, whims of official scorers, etc.). I'm not saying he should win, but a case can definitely be made.

Meh. Zack's ERA is like 0.75 points lower. That's a low. I just have a hard time believing those numbers account for that much of a gap. Although, I know many think FIP is a better determining factor than ERA.
All these metrics seem to be overanalyzing it for me. Zack lets less guys on base, and he lets less guys score. That's the goal, right? I understand the point of the metrics, but Greinke is getting better results.
Obviously, wins should be irrelevant in this discussion, but I'm sure there's a few old school voters left who look at wins. I think Greinke would win pretty handily if the season ended today.
