Top two Cy Young award finishers are both relievers!
Brach didn't start the season as my closer, but after Zach Britton and Darren O'Day both tried and lost the role, Brach took the reigns and ran away with it.

There's been a lot of relief pitchers that have won the Cy Young. So I guess it wouldn't be unheard to see two relief pitchers one and two. Was there any starting pitcher that deserved it in your league?

Looking at it, no. No AL starter had an ERA less than Garrett Richards' 3.26. AL offense had exploded.
NL pitching had 3 pitchers with ERAs around 2.00 for comparison.

Willie Hernandez of the 1984 Wire to wire Detroit Tigers won the MVP and CY Young award. He is a reliever as well. At the time an unheard of 32 Saves in a row and ended up with 32 out of 33 chances.
