There was a tie in the voting for the SB Nation Cy Young Award, as voted on by only the NL writers.
Clayton Kershaw and Roy Halladay both finished with 149 points. Kershaw, winner of the NL triple crown in pitching, had 14 first place votes. Halladay had 13. But Kershaw was rated as low as fifth on one ballot, so it's officially a tie. Cole Hamels got one first-place vote.
Four pitchers better than Clayton Kershaw in the NL? Really?
