Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale struck out 10 batters over six innings of work in Saturday's 11-3 victory over the Angels. The 35-year-old allowed two earned runs on six hits and two walks, logging a quality start and striking out double-digit batters for the third consecutive start. The 8x All-Star's renaissance season continues as he's now tied with the Tigers' Tarik Skubal for the most wins in all of baseball with 14, and he now owns a 2.62 ERA (2.06 FIP), 1.00 WHIP, and an elite 27.9% K-BB%. The southpaw will take on the Nationals at home in his next start.
Atlanta Braves hurler Chris Sale struck out 12 over seven shutout innings in Monday's 1-0 win at the San Francisco Giants. Sale scatted a pair of hits and did not walk a batter in his 107-pitch gem, marking his 12th quality start. He is tied for the league lead with 13 wins and is second with a 2.61 ERA and 177 strikeouts, while his 0.97 WHIP ranks fifth. Sale is having a Cy Young-caliber run in his first season with the Braves and will give his fantasy managers another opportunity to shine when he faces the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday.
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale was excellent on Thursday, tossing 7 innings of two-run ball in a 3-2 extra innings loss to the New York Mets. Unfortunately for Sale, the Braves couldn't get much going offensively and he ended up taking a no decision. Still, the lefty was dominant again in this one, striking out nine while allowing just two hits and a walk. He has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this year and is in the running for the Cy Young in what has been a tremendous bounce back for the 35-year-old. Sale is an elite option in fantasy.
The Atlanta Braves have pushed back left-hander Chris Sale's next start from Monday to Tuesday this week against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the road. Taking Sale's scheduled start on Monday for the series opener in Phoenix will be right-hander Bryce Elder, who was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett. Fantasy managers can still keep Sale in their starting lineups for the week, although he may not be in line for a two-start week now. The 35-year-old veteran southpaw was named to his eighth All-Star squad this year, and his first since 2018, after going 11-3 with a 2.71 ERA (league-best 2.26 FIP) and league-best 0.91 WHIP with 127 strikeouts and only 19 walks in 99 2/3 innings over 16 starts in his first year in Atlanta. Sale faced the D-backs in his second start in 2024 on April 7 and allowed two earned runs while walking none and fanning six in 5 1/3 innings of work.
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale (11-3) hurled a quality start and picked up his 11th win Wednesday night, going six innings and allowing one run on three hits and two walks with nine strikeouts in a 3-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants. Since getting knocked around by the Oakland A's for eight runs in four innings back on June 1, the southpaw has been nothing but brilliant. Five straight starts of two runs or less have lowered his season ERA to 2.71, putting him in the running with a trio of Phillies starting pitchers -- Ranger Suarez, Cristopher Sanchez, and Zack Wheeler -- to start on the mound for the National League All-Stars in the Midsummer Classic. Sale and his incredible 0.91 WHIP will head to the rubber against the Diamondbacks next Monday, looking to improve his chances of that All-Star starting nod.
