Chris Sale is officially back. The Atlanta Braves ace is right in the thick of the Cy Young conversation. The lefty has a 2.91 ERA and 2.30 FIP, both excellent metrics. His 11.11 K/9 is great, and he's fresh off a sterling shutdown outing against the vaunted New York Yankees.

Tanner Houck leads the MLB in fWAR (Imagn)

Tanner Houck continues to pour in impressive outings and leads the sport with a 3.4 fWAR. His season ERA is down to 2.14, though his xERA suggests some luck as it sits at 3.29. His 2.21 FIP is excellent as well, and he sports a 7-5 record with a minuscule 0.19 HR/9 rate. He's difficult to face right now.
