What happened: Sonny Gray owns a 2.78 ERA, sixth among AL pitchers. Two losses complete his 14-2 record.
Why it matters: Award voting could hinge on how heavily voters weigh pitcher wins against lower ERAs elsewhere in the league. A strong finish could move Gray beyond dark-horse status.
By the numbers: Gray is 14-2, with the AL's highest win total and sixth-lowest ERA at 2.78.
What to watch: Watch whether Gray closes the ERA gap while maintaining his league-leading win pace.
