29 IP, 3 ER, 27/4 K/BB ratio.

Cliff Lee?

 

[bradical]

James Shields

 

[Topnotchsy]

Cliff Lee?

Nope. Lee's actually only given up a single run in his last 5 starts. This guy is a little less well known (for good reason.) Was once a highly touted prospect who has quietly been doing pretty well this season.

 

[Topnotchsy]

James Shields

Nope, though he has been pretty great this season.

 

[ballerskrip]

Ryan Vogelsong?

Gio Gonzalez?

 

[aminors]

Justin Verlander?

 

[CubsFan13]

Tim Stauffer

 

[poppudaimadochi]

Justin Verlander?

Nope, Verlander is 34.0 IP, 2 ER, 41/3 K/BB

I would go for Zimmermann, but that's not it either...

 

[StrasburgMania]

Kershaw? Hanson? Dan Hudson?

 

[Ryan The Orange]

Tim Stauffer

 

[Zymco]

Its not Kershaw but his last three starts are better


25 ip 3 er 25k 3bb

 

[Superhuskiefan1]

Tim Stauffer

 

[Topnotchsy]

It's Stauffer, as a few have picked up on.

His numbers may not quite be as dominant as Lee's or Kershaw's in his last few outings, but over the last season or so he seems to be putting it together and over the last few games he's been great. Maybe he will have a career after all.

It might help a bit when 3 of the 4 starts were at PETCO and the other was Target Field.
