Clay Buchholz (47%): Clay Buchholz has been pretty solid as of late. His ERA over the last 15 days has been 2.49 with a .92 WHIP. He has thrown three consecutive quality starts and has 18 Ks over those three games. He is definitely worth an add while he is hot.

Mike Bolsinger (47%): Bolsinger has been in a word, dominant. He is someone you should stop right now and go and add to your team before you read another word. He has an ERA of .71 with a WHIP of .79 with 22 KS and a 3-0 record. His next scheduled start is against the Cardinals and will certainly be tested there, but I would still start him and ride him while he is hot.

Wade Miley (12.8%): Miley has been great over his last 3 starts. Over the last two weeks he is sporting an ERA of 1.25 with a 1.02 WHIP. He is doing really well and is worth an add in most ten team standard leagues and for sure in AL-Only leagues.

Shawn Tolleson (23%): Tolleson has unofficially taken over as the closer for the Rangers. Since doing so he has gone 3 for 3 in save opportunities. He is sporting a nice 12.9 K/9 and has not given up a run since May 7. He is pretty nice option for teams in any sized leagues that are in need of saves.

  • Brad Ziegler (18.3%): Ziegler is another player to be targeted by teams in all sized leagues that are in need of saves. He has converted on both of his save opportunities and should be a solid fantasy option going forward.

    Chris Young (42.3%): Young has been a pretty nice surprise for the Royals this season. Since moving into the Royals rotation he has won two of his starts and is maintaining a stellar .78 ERA and .75 WHIP. He is not one for striking people out, but he is worth the add solely based on his ERA and wins alone.

    Rubby De La Rosa (33.5%): De La Rosa does not have a spectacular ERA, but he is sporting a decent 4-2 record. He has a pretty solid 8.39 K/9 rate and will be a decent contributor in the strikeout cat.

    Mike Wright (23.8%): Wright is two starts into his big league career as a starter and is looking like a pretty good fantasy addition to your team. He is 1-0 and is yet to surrender an earned run. He is also striking out around 5 batters per game.

    We thank you for stopping by and wish you the best of luck in your quest for a fantasy title with your baseball team.
