During Wednesday evening, Ken Rosenthal reported that Cleveland Indians ace, Corey Kluber is a lock to win the Cy Young Award for the second time in his career.

Kluber started off the 2017 season with a 3-1 April, had a 4.19 ERA, struck out 37 through 34.1 innings pitched.

In the month of May, Kluber only made one start which lasted 3 innings and gave up 5 earned runs. Kluber missed most of May with an injury but came back in June.
