Could 1964 MLB fail to produce a 20 game winner
The 1964 pennant race finds no current pitchers with 18 wins by Sept 1 and none likely to reach 20. Marichal and Bouton show the best chances, though Marichal is sidelined by a pinched nerve. Other contenders include Sadecki, Drysdale, Chance, Pizarro, Peters, Wickersham, and Jackson, but few appear strong enough to reach the milestone.
