2017 Top Fantasy Postseason Baseball Starting Pitchers
Here's a look at the top fantasy starting pitchers heading into the MLB postseason. [UPDATED on 9/24]
1. Corey Kluber CLE - Top pitcher on the best team in baseball. Kluber has posted a dominant 17-4 season with a 2.27 ERA. In the month of September, has a 0.87 ERA and a 0.65 WHIP. Should be top overall pick for post-season long fantasy leagues.
2. Clayton Kershaw LAD - 17-4 overall but has been human in September with a 3.74 ERA. Dodgers favored to win NL - so this puts him ahead of other elite AL pitchers on teams not named Cleveland.
3. Justin Verlander HOU - 4-0 since traded to Houston and has been impressive and nearly unhittable with a 0.64 ERA in September.
4. Chris Sale BOS - Strikeout artist with 300 K's on the year. Excellent pitcher but how far will BOS be able to go in the postseason?
5. Carlos Carrasco CLE - Good pitcher on a great Cleveland team favored to win it all. Pitching very well down the stretch with a 1.83 ERA in last 5 starts.
6. Max Scherzer WAS - Winner of 7 of last 8 and the ace of the Nationals staff.
7. Stephen Strasburg WAS - Having a dominant September. 1.44 ERA in the month of September.
8. Dallas Keuchel HOU - Should be the 2nd starter behind Verlander. 2.96 ERA on the season.
9. Rich Hill LAD - 2.45 ERA in September and seems to be the 2nd best pitcher on the top seeded Dodgers.
10. Zack Greinke ARI - Rough outing against MIA on 9/22 - but otherwise solid September.
