NL CY YOUNG HANDICAPPING
Chris Sale, Atlanta Braves
Chris Sale has emerged as the clear favorite to win the NL Cy Young award as a member of the Atlanta Braves. Sale was a late addition to the starting rotation for Atlanta and was not expected to be this good by any stretch of the imagination. But he has helped the Braves overcome the absence of Ronald Acuna Jr. in their batting order to help the Braves remain in the hunt for the postseason. And with Sale being one of the league leaders in wins in 2024, he is all but assured to come away with a surprising Cy Young.
Zack Wheeler, Philadelphia Phillies
Last season, Zack Wheeler of the Philadelphia Phillies finished in the top-20 in MLB in ERA, wins, strikeouts, and WHIP. He is starting to get up there in age, but his numbers certainly haven’t shown it. Wheeler has had an incredible year in 2024 for a Phillies team that looks like it can contend with anyone for the National League pennant and the World Series title as well. Wheeler might not finish ahead of Sale for this award, but he’s had a great season nonetheless.
Other NL Cy Young Contenders
The odds for those looking to win the NL Cy Young in 2024 beyond the names listed above are too long to realistically expect them to win it. Paul Skenes was the talk of baseball for a while, but fell off in the second half of the season. But Skenes and Eduardo Rodriguez deserve honorable mentions for the way they pitched this year.
Who Will Win the NL Cy Young Award?
At this point in the 2024 MLB season, we will take Chris Sale of the Braves to win the NL Cy Young. While the other contenders for this award have pitched well in their own right, Sale leading the entire league in wins despite being added as a back-end member of the Braves rotation is an incredible story and one he deserves a ton of credit for.
