Atlanta's Chris Sale and Detroit's Tarik Skubal, a pair of left-handed starters who each won an MLB-high 18 games while leading their respective leagues in strikeouts and ERA for qualifiers, are among the finalists for the Cy Young Awards to be named Wednesday night.
Sale is a finalist for the National League award after going 18-3 with a 2.38 ERA and 225 strikeouts for the Braves, before he was scratched from their final regular-season game and missed their Wild Card Series loss to San Diego because of back issues.
