Sale has finished 6th, 5th and 3rd the last three years in Cy Young voting. To no ones surprise he's right there again.
Sale: 9-5, 2.85 ERA (8th best), 0.99 WHIP (1st), 170 ks (1st), 4.4 WAR (1st), in 133 IP (7th)
Not bad. Let's look at his main competition:
Keuchel: 12-5, 2.32 ERA (4th), 0.99 WHIP (1st), 132 Ks (7th), 3.9 WAR (3rd), in 151 IP (1st)
Price, Kazmir, Gray, Archer, Felix and Hector Santiago (lol) are all right there too, but probably, definitely behind the top 2 as it stands.
Anyways I think this is the year he breaks through.
