Let's go with King Felix.

Josh Towers!

Last year was like a black hole that sucked out all his bad luck.

Wow, 14% voting for Halladay. I'm quite sure that he'll never have a no hitter. He simply values efficiency over K's, and pitching to contact is not that way to a no hitter.

Although Mark Buehrle thinks the same way too, so what the heck do I know?

Other....Ian Snell  vs  Washington Nationals

I picked other.  And the only reason i did so is because pitching a no-hitter is such a random event that you can't really expect anybody to do it, well anybody who's name isn't Nolan Ryan.  The last one was by a rookie Florida pitcher and nobody would have guessed he would do it next.  And i don't think anyone would have guessed Buehrle would have been next.  I'm so boring.

Other: Roger Clemens.

Why not go for one more? He's a real wildcard, but I wouldn't bet against him compared to most of his competition.

I'm no fan of the White Sox (or Buehrle, for that matter), but what the heck - here's hoping he duplicates Johnny Vander Meer's feat of consecutive no-nos. 
Ryan Day - Friday, April 20 2007 @ 11:53 AM EDT (#166245) #

Probably no one we're expecting. Just look at the list of pitchers to throw no-nos: Buehrle, Lowe, Nomo, Milton, Sanchez, Millwood, Bud Smith... Oh, and Randy Johnson, but he's by far the best of the lot. Lots of decent pitchers, but not the guys you'd expect; Hideo Nomo has two (one in Colorado!) and Greg Maddux has none - how does that make any sense?

So I'll go out on a limb and say... Javier Vazquez or Daniel Cabrera. Over in the NL, Jeff Francis and Bronson Arroyo are the best bets.

Other - Felix Hernandez. He's been really, really close on numerous occasions (including against the Jays two years ago, and against the Red Sox this year--given, that was when Koskie was hitting cleanup). I think he'll eventually get it. Maybe not this year, but next year or the year after.

I'm going with the 2007 NL Cy Young winner (you heard it here first...well, actually on a previous post) Matt Cain. And I've got some stats to back it up. A couple of weeks ago, I was watching a game of his against the Padres on Sportsnet and he gave up just one hit(in the 6th, I think) over 7 innings. A couple of days ago, he gave up just 2 hits in 7 innings.

Last year, he had given up 2 or less hits on four occasions. A 1-hitter through7 innings, a 2-hitter through 8 innings, a 1-hitter through 8 innings and a 1-hitter through 9 innings. The year before, he had a 2-hitter through 9 innings! In 41 career starts, he's had 7 such starts of atleast 7 innings and at most 2 hits!

That's about 1 flirtation with a no-hitter every 6 starts! That's sick! Amazing...

Too late to vote, but I'll say Rich Hill.

I have no doubt. AJ Burnett.
