I'm not as attentive to this as the MVP race, so I'll just include anyone from the two WAR leaderboards. I know there'll be a closer or two in the Top 10--Hader, someone else--but a starter will win, so I've stuck to that.

how is it not snell

Strider finished with a 3.86 ERA, got his 20th win last night, 281 Ks, division winner... I bet he gets some first place votes but the ERA is what would cost him most definitely. He got blown up too much. Looks like this would be Snell, even if he had a weird season.

I didn't list Kershaw, who only pitched ~125 innings. I guess it's possible he sneaks into the Top 10. Had quite a season when you add 2022/23 together: 25-8, 2.37, 258 IP, 274 K, 6.8 H/9, 4.35 K/BB, 7.6 WAR.

Logan Webb for me as win loss record shouldn't count, but yeah also my homer vote

So weird: Snell walks too many, Webb gave up a lot of hits, Strider gave up more runs than his peripherals suggest he should have. I'd probably be inclined to go with Strider, but any one of those three are fine (and I haven't even looked closely at the other contenders).

Or "is fine" if grammar's your thing.
