Chris Sale (P - ATL)
8/31/26 10:00 AM - Shutout against the Dodgers shows Chris Sale is still elite at age 37 -- and building a Hall case. Chris Sale struck out 11 in a five-hit shutout against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Atlanta left-hander lowered his ERA to 2.06. Only Jacob Misiorowski’s is better, and Sale may be the only one capable of pushing the Milwaukee ace in the Cy Young race. At the very least, Sale has a good chance to post his eighth top-five finish in a Cy Young vote. He won in 2024, his first season with the Braves. The 37-year-old Sale doesn’t have as much Cy Young hardware as Justin Verlander or Max Scherzer. But if he can pitch into his 40s like they have, his Hall of Fame case could look pretty solid.
