Possibly, another rare event will happen this year. There could be pitching triple-crown winners (league best in K's, W's and ERA) in both leagues.
Chris Sale leads in all 3 categories in the NL and Tarik Skubal leads in all 3 in the AL. Sale is 2 up on Zack Wheeler in Ws, 18 pts up on Wheeler in ERA and 5 up on Dylan Cease in Ks. All 3 pitchers have only 1 scheduled start left.
Skubal leads Framber Valdez by 37 pts in ERA, leads Cole Ragans in Ks by 4, and and has 1 more W than Berrios, Lugo and Rodon. Valdez, Berrios, Lugo and Rodon each have 1 scheduled start left and both Skubal and Ragans each have 2.
Pitching triple-crown winners in both leagues in the same season has happened twice before: in 2011 when both Verlander and Kershaw did it and in 1918 when Walter Johnson did it in the AL and Hippo Vaughn of the Cubs did it in the NL.
