FACTS/FLUKES: Woodruff, Hoskins, Longoria, Wood, Newman

Woodruff ramps up R$... When we last checked in on Brandon Woodruff (RHP, MIL) in March, we noted that the right-hander had the skills for his first $20 R$ season. Through his first ten GS, he has surpassed that amount with a $28 R$. Through 64 IP in 2021, he has three wins, 73 strikeouts, a 1.41 ERA, and a 0.70 WHIP. Do his skills support continued success?
