Touchdown Regression Candidates - Quarterback

K-BB% Starting Pitcher Risers and Fallers (July)

Recently I've been on a K-BB% bender. I first looked at potential 2nd half breakouts by examining June K-BB% and came away feeling good about Eduardo Rodriguez, Patrick Sandoval, and Adam Wainwright. Then I looked at some relievers who might be worth stashing based on June's K-BB%, so it's only fitting that I go back […]
