FACTS/FLUKES: Sale, Mazara, J.A. Happ, A. Garcia, and Choo

Sale remains dominant... Fantasy owners targeted Chris Sale (LHP, BOS) as a fantasy ace in 2018 auctions and drafts. After posting a 2.90 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 201 BPV in 2017, the southpaw continues to deliver elite production in 2018. Through 21 GS, the lefty has 11 wins, 197 strikeouts, a 2.13 ERA, and a 0.87 WHIP in 135 IP. Has he continued to back his results with elite skills?
