I'd guess that there will only be one from each league - Sabathia in the AL, and Penny in the NL.
Sabathia seems the obvious choice, since he already has 12 wins and would need only eight more in the second half. Penny is a risky pick in the NL, but I think the Dodgers will eventually trade for a big bat, score more runs, and get him some more victories.
I only chose one from each league because it's getting more and more difficult to win 20 - starters don't go as deep into games, team offenses can be unpredictable, and injuries can always play a factor. Considering that nobody in the NL won more than 16 last season, I wouldn't be surprised to see them go another year without a 20-game winner.

3. Jake Peavy, Josh Beckett, and C.C. Sabathia will all win 20 games. Dan Haren will come close with 18, but wont reach 20.

The ones with a realistic shot (based largely on how I think their team will do in the 2nd half):
Sabathia
Beckett
Lackey
and I never count out Santana
that said, none of the first 3 have shown enough consistency throughout their careers, (and in Beckett's case, health) to make me think that they actually will.
So I think no one will win 20.

Beckett
J. Santana
Zambrano
Sabathia
maybe Peavy... so I say 5
Penny will not reach 20, because he is a notorious 2nd half tanker. His post AS break last year was awful. For his career, Penny has a 4.30 era after the break with a record below .500.... not good.
