Cincinnati Reds have two (Luis Castillo and Sonny Gray) and Anthony Desclafani could be a third if he has two remarkable starts to end the season - he is 14 innings away. Trevor Bauer has thrown over 200 innings, but since he was traded mid-season he can't qualify for a league ERA award.
To me, the future holds changing the rules for qualification. They could change the rules to games-started, rather than innings pitched, and inflate the number of qualifying pitchers. By doing that, you still end up with the healthiest pitchers, and presumably the best pitchers fans would want to see qualify anyway.
