Chris Sale continues to anchor the Braves' rotation with elite ratios and high-strikeout dominance
Sale has been sensational over his last 14 days, posting a 0.80 ERA with 17 strikeouts across 11.2 innings. He remains the staff anchor for the first-place Braves, who lead the NL East with a 49-33 record despite a current two-game skid. His importance to the rotation is heightened with Spencer Strider currently sidelined on the 60-day injured list with elbow inflammation.
His current 2.13 ERA through 15 starts is significantly better than our season projection of 3.11, yet his underlying metrics suggest this success is sustainable. Sale is averaging over 11 strikeouts per nine innings, and his 1.09 WHIP is a perfect match for our models' projected efficiency. While he has suffered from a lack of run support in recent losses, his ability to suppress hits and miss bats keeps him in the elite tier of starters.
Having pitched on June 28, Sale is scheduled for a single start this week, likely coming against the fifth-place Mets during the weekend series. New York has struggled to a 35-49 record and represents a favorable matchup for a southpaw of Sale's caliber who recently reached 60 career WAR. Although he will likely miss the early-week set against the Cardinals, his dominance makes him an automatic play in all formats. Start.
