Pitching Triple Crown

Did you know that Jake Peavy is leading the NL in ERA, wins and strikeouts?

ERA

Peavy-SDP2.10
Young-SDP2.38
Penny-LAD2.88
Webb-ARI2.91
Smoltz-ATL3.09

Wins
Peavy-SDP16
Francis-COL15
Hudson-ATL15
Hamels-PHI14
Harang-CIN14
Lowry-SFG14
Maine-NYM14
Oswalt-HOU14
Penny-LAD14
Webb-ARI14
Zambrano-CHC14

Strikeouts
Peavy-SDP206
Harang-CIN180
Webb-ARI177
Hill-CHC159
Smoltz-ATL159

He has a very good chance of making it - he's unlikely to lose his lead in strikeouts, and only Chris Young has much of a chance of surpassing him in ERA.

In the AL, Wang could be a pitching triple crown killer for a long time. He's tied for the lead in wins in a season where he missed the first month.

If he continues to lead the AL in wins, there's no chance for a pitching triple crown.
