-With Gerrit Cole injured, there is a case to be made that Zack Wheeler is the best pitcher in baseball based on his track record and current level of production. Through his first six starts, he has a 1.93 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 46 strikeouts in 37.1 innings, and his 2.44 FIP is also the best in the National League.

-The Red Sox starting rotation has been one of the biggest surprises in baseball, and the one-two punch of Kutter Crawford (6 GS, 1.35 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 34 K, 33.1 IP) and Tanner Houck (6 GS, 1.60 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, 41 K, 39.1 IP) has been a big reason for their success.

-The next 10 who just missed the cut were Javier Assad (CHC), Dylan Cease (SD), Sonny Gray (STL), Jared Jones (PIT), Reynaldo López (ATL), Seth Lugo (KC), Bryce Miller (SEA), Ryan Pepiot (TB), Freddy Peralta (MIL) and Luis Severino (NYM).
