The difference is that a team's placement in the season's final tally is more important than the Cy Young award.
The Cy Young is more of a individual award than a team award. Closers only pitch the ninthinning 90 percent of the time. They always have a lead when they enter the game and they only pitch one in the first.

He's fourth in WAR, second ininnings, second in strikeouts, and tied for the NL lead in wins. In order to win it, he will have to have a 3.50ERA in his last four starts. The rest of the document is in place.
