The NL Cy Young Award winner.
We just saw a month where Christopher Sanchez didn't even give up an earned run here.
He has a chance to win the NL Cy Young.
That's listed at 37% on Calci.
You know who's right behind him?
The young flamethrower of the Mids, Jakob Mizerowski of the Milwaukee Brewers here.
He's listed at a 34% chance.
Behind him, I just talked about Shohei Ohtani being the NL MVP.
He's got a .74 ERA, just doesn't have enough innings just yet to qualify, and he does, he's currently trading at 15 cents.
Then there's Paul Skenes and Chase Burns and Ethan Krisil, sensational pitchers here.
For my money, of course, I'm a Phillies fan, I will be rooting for Christopher Sanchez, but you want to talk about a coin toss between great pitchers, it just might be and a lot of fun to watch the rest of the way in the NL.
Keeping it in the National League, how about the NL Player of the Month?
We talked about our own players that are hot.
None hotter right now than Ronald Acua, listed at an 11% chance here to be the NL Player of the Month in June, which I know we're only a week into it here.
He's listed at 13 cents as a yes contract.
If you feel he can get the job done, that should pay back $770.
Manny Machado listed here at a 6% yes contract.
Do we think he can get it done?
I don't know.
But you know who else is way up there?
It's Shohei Ohtani, as it should be.
38 cents as a yes contract, which means $100 investment pays back $264 if Ohtani stays hot on the mound and also at the plate.
Lot of good topics to go over, but only a month into, excuse me, only a week into this month.
Is it gonna be Ohtani again?
Is it going to be Acua?
And what do those two players have in common?
Both of their baseball teams excelling at the right time.
Best record in the major leagues, the Atlanta Braves.
Close behind, it's those Los Angeles Dodgers
