Did you notice the team that Santana had around him this year?
They finished four games under .500 and Santana finished 2 over .500. So you're psyched about beating a .500 pitcher on a below-average team three times? Hey, good for your guy.

Um, no. . .

The advantage Beckett has is that he has shown up for the post-season, and Sabathia has yet to.

My prediction is that the ace of the pennant winner will get the Cy Young this year, regardless of who wins tonight.

I believe that the voting for all MLB's awards (except for those pertaining specifically to the postseason series) is completed by the end of the regular season. The outcome of this (or any playoff) series will have no effect on the Cy Young or MVP balloting. (I think!)
