Sale is 8th in fWAR in the AL, but has 7-8 less starts than Kluber, Felix, Price, Lester, Hughes, and Scherzer.

 

ERA title is nice, but ERA isn't that tall-telling of a stat.

 

I think Kluber should win the Cy Young. He has the best fWAR, best FIP, and second best xFIP in the AL for starters.

I'm guessing Sale will end his year with a 5.5 WAR (5.2 before today's start) in 26 starts. Take that WAR-per-start and multiple it by 33 to make him even with Kluber and Felix in starts, and their WAR looks like this....

 

Kluber/Sale - 7.0 WAR

Felix - 6.0 WAR

Felix only has to go 6 innings of 1 ER or less to steal the ERA title away.

 

Why doesn't Joe Torre go take a look at Sale's start vs. KC on the 17th of this month when there was a blooper in to RF that fell between Semien, Eaton, and Avi. And then Eaton had the ball kick off his leg allowing the runner who was on 1st at the start of the play, to score??? That was an obvious error on Eaton and should shave Sale's ERA from 2.17 to 2.12.

 

Where's that change, Joe?
