According to U.S. broadcaster CBS Sports Washington predicted a Cy Young Award race and ruled out Ryu from the race. The media has put Degrom (New York Mets) in first place, Scherzer in second place, and Ryu in third place.
Analyzing the Cy Young Races, the media said that while it does not feel like the historic race of Scherzer and Degrom in 2018, the Cy Young Races are still forming to the point where they have to make the final photo reading. In the track and field finish line, he mentioned that the Cy Young race is developing fiercely compared to reading photos to determine the ranking in case of a close race.
However, the media were negative about Ryu's Cy Young outlook. Referring to the situation in which Ryu's ERA dropped from a one-run average that has been close to the new system to the ground system,he said, but he is still No. 1 in the National League's ERA category, but still feels like a race between Degrom, Scherzer and two players.
