Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale has never won the Cy Young Award, but midseason polling shows that 2018 may finally be his year.
In a poll of MLB.com’s Baseball Writers’ Association of America members, who ultimately vote on the coveted award at the end of the season, Sale is far and away the favorite to win the American League Cy Young. He finished in second place last year behind Corey Kluber and has been in the top six vote-getters in each of the past six seasons.
Sale, who started Tuesday’s All-Star Game for the American League, currently leads the AL in earned run average and leads all of MLB in strikeouts.
