Cup of jO's: Zach Britton, Cy Young Award Winner?

A long time ago, Rob Neyer and Bill James came up with an equation to determine who would win the Cy Young Award.

Cy Young Points (CYP) = ((5*IP/9)-ER) + (SO/12) + (SV*2.5) + Shutouts + ((W*6)-(L*2)) + VB

The above is rather self explanatory except for VB, which is Victory Bonus.  An additional 12 points is given to a player whose team wins their division. It has worked pretty well over the years.
 

	AL	RNK	NL	RNK
2011	Justin Verlander	1st	Clayton Kershaw	1st
2012	David Price	1st	R.A. Dickey	1st
2013	Max Scherzer	1st	Clayton Kershaw	1st
2014	Corey Kluber	1st	Clayton Kershaw	1st
2015	Dallas Keuchel	2nd	Jake Arrieta	1st

The only miss in the past five years was Dallas Keuchel who the system saw as coming in second place.  Pretty nifty.  As it stands, the Orioles have two players in the top four and it appears whichever team wins the AL East will be pushing someone over the top.

 The safe money is that the Cy Young Award will go to J.A. Happ, Rick Porcello, or Chris Tillman depending on who wins the AL East.  The dark  horse is Zach Britton simply because relief pitchers have a particularly difficult time winning this award and more recent voters will look at WAR calculations and disregard Britton entirely.
