Justin Verlander & Clayton Kershaw Both Won The Pitching Triple Crown.

Both Justin Verlander and Clayton Kershaw won their league's triple by leading the in Wins, Strikeouts and ERA. This is the first time ever 2 players have won the triple crown in the same year. It is also the first time since Jake Peacy someone won it in the NL and since Johan Santana in 2006 in the AL.

Justin  Verlander: Justin Verlander won the AL Triple Crown. He had 24 wins, 5 more Sabathia, a 2.40 ERA, 0.01 less than Weaver and 250 Strikeouts, 20 more than Sabathia. Verlander had the most wins in a season since Bob Welch who had 27 in 1990. Verlander will probably win the Cy Young since he won the Triple Crown. Some people want him to win MVP and he would be the first pitcher in the AL since Dennis Eckersley who won in 1992. I would be fine if he won, but it is hard to give it to a player who played 34 games vs. 150-160 games. Verlander help his Detroit Tigers win 95 games and win the AL Central, their first division title since 1987. He won 25.3% of the Tigers wins, 2nd most in the MLB only behind Kershaw. Verlander also had the highest WHIP in the MLB at 0.92, 0.07 less than Kershaw. Also he had a BAA of .192 the lowest in the MLB. His was .015 lower than Kershaw's. Verlander could win Triple Crown, but it would be unlikely. Verlander also had a no-hitter on May 7th. It was the 2nd in his career. He only had 18 wins last year, a ERA of 3.37 and 219 strikeouts.

Clayton Kershaw: Clayton Kershaw won the NL Triple Crown. He had 21 wins, which was tied with Kennedy, a 2.28 ERA, 0.07 less than Halladay and 248 Strikeouts, 10 more than Lee. Kershaw will probably win the Cy Young since he won the Triple Crown, but Cliff Lee is a good choice too because he had 6 complete games  and 6 shutouts. He is a probably a MVP candidate. I would be very surprised if he won because he dominate like Verlander, players like Kemp who is his teammate and Fielder and Braun from Milwaukee should win. Kershaw help his Los Angeles Dodgers win 82 games and have a winning season, their first division title since 2009. He won 25.6% of the Dodgers wins, the most in the MLB. Kershaw also had the highest WHIP in the NL at 0.98, 0.01 less than Hamles. Also he had a BAA of .207 the lowest in the NL. His was .007 lower than Hamles'. Kershaw could win Triple Crown, but it would be very unlikely because he came out of no where to win it this year. He only won 13 games, a ERA of 2.91 and 212 strikeouts.
