00:00Chris Sale is my best pitcher here. I wanted to go with Christopher Sanchez just because of the
00:05stellar month that he had in the month of May, but I'm going to go with Sale here, Tom,
00:11because I feel like in some crazy way, even though I think he's going to be a Hall of Famer
00:16when it's
00:16all said and done, he's a little bit underrated. I think he's flying under the radar because he
00:20doesn't have the cachet of the Sanchez month of the Miz throwing 106 or Otani ZRA under two.
00:26This guy is just plodding along, putting together a Cy Young season in any other year,
00:32and yet he's like third or fourth in the odds. That's what's most impressive is that he's so
00:38good, yet he's not considered one of the top two options really when it comes to the NL Cy Young,
00:44or maybe the top three options if you add in Yamamoto and or Otani for the Dodgers. My top
00:50pitcher is, of course, the Miz, Jacob Mizorowski for the Brewers. He's been fantastic. Yes,
00:55we'd like to see him pitch against Paul Skeens. We'd like to see him pitch in the All-Star game,
00:59but what he has done has been fantastic. The ERA is impossibly low. Also, looking to the advanced
01:06metrics, it's not as if he's overperforming by some significant margin. His XFIP is still sitting at
01:102.10. He doesn't walk anyone, which I love to see. It's great to see him throw 100, 100, 300,
01:17400, 600, wherever it's going to be, but just the consistency of the strikeouts and controlling
01:22things with the walks is what I find truly impressive.
