Gray had no Cy Young momentum even before his last 2-3 bad starts (and now the A's will probably shut him down). Price and Keuchel are a coin flip, but if Houston makes the playoffs then I expect Keuchel to win.

Those three guys were pretty close going into September; I'd be inclined to put Gray ahead of Price at that point.
Keuchel - 16-6, 2.24, 173 K/42 BB, .213/.257/.294 slash linePrice - 13-5, 2.47, 188/37, .234/.273/.361Gray - 12-6, 2.13, 150/46, .201/.254/.289
Keuchel goes today, plus once more; Price only gets one more start. Keuchel's to lose.

gray might have some dark horse potential and is my personal favorite out of the three top AL pitchers, but I'd be pretty fuckin surprised if keuchel didn't get it. his dominance is so closely tied to his team's, unlike gray and more so than price by a meaningful (if not colossal) amount

Those were their numbers at the end of August; I was trying to counter NoTime's point that Gray hasn't been in the running for a while. It's a moot point.
(xpost) I think you're probably right that Price's split-season will hurt him, even though he's viewed as something of a savior here.

has anyone won a cy young in a season where they've been traded?! a quick wiki scan says no, but not sure if they'd bother to mention if a guy was on two different teams or not.

Sutcliffe won when he went 16-1 with the cubs in 1984 (20-6 total iirc, started the season with cleveland.)

Keuchel deserves it by DRA and other metrics

Keuchel put it away today.

Price still leads in fWAR, whose leaderboards often just don't look right to me
5th in bWAR and 6th in fWAR among AL pitchers: the under-the-radar Carlos Carrasco
