Tarik Skubal is the best pitcher in baseball

By Blake Metiva

The Detroit Tigers have their ace. Tarik Skubal has absolutely dominated Major League Baseball this season, being tied for the league lead in wins, second in ERA and strikeouts, third in earned runs, seventh in walks allowed, and eighth in batting average allowed and home runs allowed. Needless to say, Skubal has been the talk of the league; he’s a front-runner for the AL Cy Young Award and must-see television every time he starts. Skubal is in line for his first major contract extension after heading to arbitration last season. It’s up to the Tigers’ front office to give the ace the money he’s looking for.
