Kluber 9-1 1.93 84 IP
Sale 4-3 3.48 54.1 IP

when 1 of your biggest things is an IP lead, you don't have much. No Cy Young race is ever over in July, no matter who it is. Sale's pitched pretty well, but had his typical poor last third of the season. Kluber has taken advantage of it.

Oh, and looked at the tracker today and lo and behold, Kluber is #1 in both TT and BJ's trackers. Sale may have 1 extra start left but that would be on final day of the season. Kluber has a huge advantage I think in opponents left. Kluber has KC, @ Sea, and CWS. Sale has @ TB, @ Bal, and Tor. He is scheduled also for 10/1 vs Houston, but that's final day of the season where he would be allowed to go at most 3-4 innings you would think, as game 1 of the LCS is only 4 days later- and Sale's the last guy in the world that you'll see starting on short rest.

I think Kluber probably has the award at this point.
