That was August, when he logged a 4.81 ERA. There was a tough outing against Tampa, then losses in Arizona and at home to the Reds. He got it turned around in September and gave up just five runs in five starts, but I guess that wasn&#8217;t enough.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what the final vote looked like:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossingbroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FEbwY_qXsAEfNsd.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-137837\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crossingbroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FEbwY_qXsAEfNsd.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1584\" height=\"704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crossingbroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FEbwY_qXsAEfNsd.jpg 1584w, https:\/\/www.crossingbroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FEbwY_qXsAEfNsd-300x133.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crossingbroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FEbwY_qXsAEfNsd-1024x455.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.crossingbroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FEbwY_qXsAEfNsd-768x341.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.crossingbroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FEbwY_qXsAEfNsd-1536x683.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1584px) 100vw, 1584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pretty close.

Milwaukee finished 95-67 this season to win the Central while the Phillies barely got themselves above .500. Wheeler didn&#8217;t exactly have a stout defensive fielding team behind him. And Burnes was part of a beefy rotation, as <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JohnStolnis\/status\/1461151300725489666?s=20\">Phillies podcaster John Stolnis notes:<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Zack Wheeler lost the Cy Young because he pitched more innings than the winner, who was protected in a 6-man rotation and rarely faced hitters a 3rd time through the lineup.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hard to argue with that.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of other points:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Zack Wheeler got 139 more outs this season than Corbin Burnes.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Paul Hembekides (Hembo) (@PaulHembo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulHembo\/status\/1461140330548453378?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 18, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Cy Young tonight.
