Rapidly rising awareness 'Florida's 100 Mile Duo' wins Cy Young Award together↑

 



The major league teams representing Florida are the Miami Marlins and the Tampa Bay Rays.


Miami was founded in 1993 as the Florida Marlins and participated in the National League East Division and Tampa Bay five years later, in 1998 as the Devil Races, as members of the American League East Division.


Although the two clubs are from the same region, there is little sense of rivalry. The big reason is that the market is small. Miami attracted 3.06 million fans in its first season, but since then, it has been around 1.5 million every year except for 2 million fans. Tampa Bay has never surpassed 2 million since attracting 2.5 million spectators in its first season.


However, in terms of performance, the two clubs outperformed other clubs with a much older history. Miami has already won the World Series twice, in 1997 and 2003. Although Tampa Bay has yet to win a championship, they were the 2008 and 2020 American League champions.


It also stands out in individual titles. Tampa Bay has two Cy Young winners. David Price in 2012 and Blake Snell in 2018 won the American League Cy Young title in Tampa Bay. Miami has one MVP. Giancarlo Stanton was named National League MVP in Miami in 2017.


It is highly likely that the two clubs will enjoy a shared slope this year. It's a feeling like they're going to release a Cy Young at the same time. As a result of a Cy Young mock voting conducted by MLB.com on the 30th (Korean time) for a panel of 44 people, Tampa Bay's Shane McClanahan (25) and Miami's Sandy Alcantara (27) got the most votes in each league.


McClanahan received 35 first-place votes, overwhelmingly ahead of Houston Astros Justin Verlander and Toronto Blue Jays Alec Manoa. Alcantara also got 29 first-place votes in the National League, beating last year's Cy Young winner Milwaukee Brewers Corbin Burns.


In the odds set by the sports betting company Draft Kings, McClanahan took the second place in the American League after Verlander (3.3 to 1) with a score of 3.5 to 1, and Alcantara ranked first in the National League with a score of 2.65 to 1.


There is no disagreement that the two players are strong Cy Young candidates. McClanahan, who is 8-3 in 15 games, is leading the ERA (1.77), strikeouts (123), WHIP (0.83), and batting average (0.183). He is the only American League player to have an ERA, and strikeouts and WHIP lead both leagues.


Alcantara threw 115⅓ ​​innings in 16 games, marking 8-3, a 1.95 ERA and 97 strikeouts. He is tied for third in the NL, second in ERA, third in batting average (0.198), fifth in WHIP (0.95), and tied for fourth in strikeouts. Alcantara is unmatched, especially in pitching innings. He's the only one already over 100 innings, pitching a starting average of 7.21 innings. Bullpen baseball is the trend these days, and they are envious of the overwhelming 'inning eater'. Alcantara is the only one with two complete throws 토토사이트.


Let's see if these two power pitchers with 100+ mph fastballs will lead the Cy Young race through the end of the season for Florida's honor.
