Skubal was the unanimous Cy Young winner in the A.L. last year (you’ll probably drink for free with the “Who was second?” question) and yet somehow, he’s better this year, moving up his strikeout rate and dropping his walk rate by about 41%. He’s walked nine freaking guys all season, which is just silly (only five since the second week of April). Lefties are particularly helpless against Skubal, slashing .156/.177/.169 against him with zero home runs. Detroit has to be a little nervous over its ace, as Skubal can be a free agent after the 2026 season and he’s represented by super agent Scott Boras.
