Hottest Fantasy MLB Starting Pitchers

Before you know it, the fantasy baseball season will be over. Between now and then, having a stud fantasy baseball starting pitcher on your team will undoubtedly help your chances of winning it all. Here’s a look at the cream of the crop at the moment:

Cliff Lee, Philadelphia Phillies
Since the Phillies traded for Cliff Lee, he has been amazing. Last year’s AL Cy Young Award winner is baffling NL hitters. In his first three starts with the Phillies, Lee is 3-0 with a 1.13 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP.

John Lackey, Los Angeles Angels
The Angels have desperately needed a few of their starting pitchers to step up and get batters out. Lackey has responded to the challenge. Over the last month, he has four wins, an ERA of 1.79 and a WHIP of 0.93.

Tim Lincecum, San Francisco Giants
Whenever there is a list of best starting pitchers, you can safely assume that Tim Lincecum will be mentioned. The Giants’ superstar continues to be very good. In the last month, he has 46 strikeouts in 37.2 innings to go along with a 1.91 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP.

Roy Halladay, Toronto Blue Jays
Going into baseball’s trade deadline, Roy Halladay was the biggest name available. Although he could have easily been distracted by that hoopla, Halladay has remained focused even after all the trades fell through. Count on him to be a stud for the rest of the fantasy baseball season.
