I just want to see what everyone's opinions are, I really like Clevelands. I think Fausto Carmona is the best pitcher no one has heard much of.
Wang/Pettite
Sabathia/Carmona
Beckett/Matsuzaka
Lackey/Escobar

hahahaha pettite/wang???? ummmm... no. everyone knows the yankees have all offense and almost no pitching.
Cleveland starters EASILY have the best 1-2 punch. cc and fausto are both top 5 AL cy young contenders... cc's going to win it.
let's look at the stats(innings pitched):
Sabathia(241) 19-7 3.21era 209K
Carmona(215) 19-8 3.06era 137K
Wang(199.1) 19-7 3.70era 104K
Pettite(215.1) 15-9 4.05era 141K
Beckett(200.2) 20-7 3.27era 194K
Matsuzaka(204.2) 15-12 4.40era 201K
Lackey(224) 19-9 3.01era 179K
Escobar(195.2) 18-7 3.40era 160K
So, it's pretty obvious.... Cleveland has the best 1-2 punch, and Angels are next.
Cleveland's pitching also leads the league in quality starts... that's a pretty big deal.

Gotta go with Fausto and CC. CC is great, but Carmona is unhittable. a 95 mph fastball with diagonal sink is nothing to snuff at. Also, they got the best numbers of any of them.
CC-19-7, 3.21 ERA, 138 ERA+, 209 Ks, 241 IP
FC-19-8, 3.06 ERA, 145 ERA+, 137 K, 215 IP
Both valid Cy young Candidates. I see Sabathia, Beckett, Lackey, Fausto in that order.

Being a Red Sox fan I have to say Beckett/Matsuzaka, but if I couldn't have them I willingly take Sabathia/Carmona.

I would go with Sabathia/Carmona followed by Lackey/Escobar.

Being a Yankees fan, I have to lean towards Pettite & Wang.
Pettite has been there in the past.....and Wang can be a pain with that sinker.
