00:00to win the NL Cy Young, third best number, Zach Wheeler, plus
00:05190, second best price, the favorite right now, that's Chris
00:10Sale at plus 120. Rob, when Atlanta acquired Chris Sale this
00:15offseason, they probably hoped he could be a reliable middle of
00:19the rotation starter, not the leader in all the bigs with 13
00:23wins this year in the NL Cy Young favorite. At home today,
00:27Atlanta and Sale, a hefty favorite against Cincinnati at
00:30minus 245. How did Chris Sale bounce back this year and how
00:35has he pitched at this level? So he's physically been a little
00:39bit off the last few years, so he got physically back into
00:42shape. You saw some flashes of brilliance with him even last
00:46year, but he's just been more consistently healthy. The other
00:50thing is, and this has gone under the radar, the Braves
00:53actually changed his changeup to add some science to it as a
00:57seam shifted wake changeup versus what he was doing. It
01:00actually blew Chris Sale's mind. I talked to him at the All-Star
01:03game. He was like, I don't know what they're trying to do, have
01:06me do, but he threw it this way and it worked. And that's been
01:10a really good pitch for him. Like, dude is absolutely, it
01:13deserves to be the Cy Young favorite. Absolutely electric.
01:16You know, Skeens has a second half like he did the first half
01:21he's going to get in the running for it, but it's Chris Sale's
01:24to lose right now.
