(2) Stephen Strasburg continues to astound the baseball world. The 23 year-old right-hander has pitched 32IP allowing zero home runs, walking six batters, and striking out thirty-four. The Washington Nationals ace trails the top spot by just .336 points.
(3) Jake Peavy has regained his 2007 Cy Young form. The Chicago White Sox right-hander has pitched outstanding baseball over his first five starts of the season. Peavy has thrown 37.67 IP/ 21H/ 7ER/ 5BB/ 33K while posting a 1.67 ERA and 0.69 WHIP.
(4) Justin Verlander continued his dominating start to the 2012 season pitching 8IP/ 6H 2ER/ 1BB/ 7K against the Kansas City Royals. The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner holds a 31.541 F12 Rating.
(5) Gio Gonzalez has baffled opposing hitters in his last four starts. The left-hander has thrown 26 IP/ 9H/ 2ER/ 9BB/ 28K. If not for a below average first start of the season against the Chicago Cubs, Gonzalez would be ranked higher on the list.
