Starting Pitcher: Chris Sale, Chicago White Sox

Chris Sale has finished in the top six of American League Cy Young Award voting in each of the last four seasons and has been named to the All-Star squad in each of those seasons as well.

He’s a lock to make the All-Star team for his fifth-straight season this year and stands a great chance to be named the AL’s starting pitcher.

Sale is fifth in the league in ERA at 2.83, but leads the AL in innings pitched with 105 and in run prevention value with 3.4 RA9-WAR (tied with Steven Wright).
