Pitchers Who Will Continue Their Hot Streaks
Fantasy Baseball Generals has posted a round-up from their writers of who they think will continue their hot streaks through September:
I think Cliff Lee will continue to be a solid pitcher all season. A lot of his struggles last year can be blamed on his trouble versus lefty batters, who posted a .917 OPS against him in 2007. Obviously, they won’t continue to have a .290 OPS like they do right now, but from 2004-2006, lefties had .711, .800 and .728 OPS numbers and if he can match that he’ll be a good number two starter the rest of the way.
There are several other pitchers mentioned; a few who stand out are Zach Greinke, who didn’t get such a positive review but I feel he has the potential to continue to improve and become a top-20 pitcher by this time next year. Ervin Santana is another. I don’t trust him and he could implode at any minute and his K’s have been lower than normal, he can prove me wrong by continuing what he’s doing through the end of the year, with little regression.
