He plays in possibly the best division in baseball in a hitters park in a season where the all-time homerun record will be shattered. I wouldn't expect his ERA to match Koufax's from the mid 60s.
Pedro only had 1 season in boston with a higher ERA in the steroid era. Rocket had a 1.93 ERA and didnt win the MVP.
Theres several good contenders for position players this year for MVP. Sale has been incredible but he needs something to truly set him apart to win the MVP. JMO.

Peak Pedro is the greatest pitcher of all-time. I don't think a pitcher should have to match his prime to win the MVP. Just like a hitter doesn't have to match 2001 Barry Bonds to win the MVP.
The fact that Pedro never won an MVP is a nuts. And it's due to this pitchers can't be the most valuable player narrative. Which if that was true, wouldn't these extremely smart, sophisticated front offices not spend as much on front line starters as they do position players? But they do spend as much on front line starters.

Comparing Sale to Pedro and using that as an argument is pretty bananas. Pedro is arguably the greatest pitcher to ever exist.
