Ray鈥檚 award follows a season which saw him notch 13 wins with an earned run average of 2.84. The New York Yankees鈥 Gerrit Cole finished second despite leading the league with 16 wins. Cole received one first choice vote, and 29 second place votes on the BBWAA鈥檚 preferential ballot for a points tally of 123. Lance Lynn of the Chicago White Sox was a distant third with 48 points. In the NL voting, Burnes pipped the Philadelphia Phillies鈥 Zack Wheeler to win by a slender 10-point margin under the BBWAA鈥檚 scoring system. Burnes and Wheeler both finished with the same number of first choice votes 鈥 12 鈥 but Burnes had 151 points to Wheeler鈥檚 141 due to more second choice votes. Los Angeles Dodgers鈥 Max Scherzer was third.
