And if Haren can turn it around, and we ignore his potential win total at the end of the year, he may be Lincecum's only true competition. You’re right.

I think he has been a little lucky this year and that ERA should get closer to 3 and he won't be in the discussion by the end of the year. I agree with both your picks, but think that if Arizona had not faded into total obscurity this year Haren would be much more of a challenge to Lincecum Due to his solid but unspectacular strikeout rate and relatively high walk rate, Cain also has a FIP of 3.75, significantly higher than his actual ERA of 2.12.
