After Shane's gem on Sunday, he's now 11-4 with a 3.31 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 182 strikeouts in 149 1/3 innings. He also has three complete games and two shutouts. At this point, he has a real shot to win the AL Cy Young, though there's obviously some stiff competition from the likes of Gerrit Cole, Justin Verlander, Charlie Morton and more.
