Through eight starts, Sale extends his 2024 NL Cy Young pace: a 2.20 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, and a .280 xwOBA-against in the top decile across qualified MLB starters. The 10.29 K/9 holds the strikeout volume; the 2.20 BB/9 keeps the WHIP elite. At age 37, the 95.4 mph average fastball matches his peak-career baseline. A .208 xBA-against and 28% whiff rate confirm the run prevention is built on contact suppression. The 3.05 xERA running roughly 0.85 runs above his actual ERA flags some early-season run-suppression luck — though the underlying contact line still ranks among the best in MLB.
