FACTS/FLUKES: Sale, Cruz, Lynn, Soler, Paxton
Jun 25 2019
Sale maintains elite skills... After being one of the first starting pitchers selected in 2019 drafts, Chris Sale (LHP, BOS) posted a 4.67 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 9.3 Dom in five April starts, which had some fantasy owners concerned. Since May 1, the southpaw owns a 2.34 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and 14.6 Dom in 65.1 IP. In 16 GS, his three wins, 138 strikeouts, 3.59 ERA, and 1.02 WHIP have resulted in $13 R$. Does a slow April appear to be an anomaly for the lefty?
