Welcome back to the strikeout rate risers and fallers series for (hopefully) lucky [...]

Atlanta Braves starter Julio Teheran allowed six runs on eight hits in four innings of work during a 10-2 loss to the New York Mets on Tuesday. He struck out three batters while walking three. Teheran had not allowed more than one earned run in a start since April 30. The 28-year-old owns a 5-5 record on the season to go along with a 3.40 ERA, 1.26 [...]

Atlanta Braves starter Julio Teheran allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits in six innings of work during a 6-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday. He walked three batters while striking out two. Strikeouts have never been Teheran's claim to fame, but he has been one of the hottest pitchers in baseball to start the season. Since the start of May, Teheran has a 3-0 record to go along with a 0.81 ERA. Pluck the 28-year-old off of the waiver wire if he is still available. He will loo[...]

Atlanta Braves starter Julio Teheran allowed two hits across six scoreless innings during a 1-0 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday. Teheran struck out five batters while walking one. The 28-year-old has been arguably the best pitcher in baseball since the start of May, allowing just three earned runs in 38 2/3 innings over that stretch. His control is always a cause for concern, but there are not many pitchers hotter than Teheran right now. He'll look to keep it rolling in his next projecte[...]

Once a certain point was reached, we all knew that it could happen at any given second. Once draft compensation was no longer tied to the two biggest remaining free agents in the MLB, the bidding war began, and it didn't take long for the results to shake out (and that's even with a few bumps in the road). Craig Kimbrel penned a long-term deal to take over closer duties for the Chicago Cubs on June 5 and barely 24 hours later, Dallas Keuchel signed on the dotted line with the Atlanta Braves to t[...]

Atlanta Braves starter Julio Teheran surrendered four hits and no runs through five innings of work during a 7-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. Teheran struck out six batters while walking three. The 28-year-old right-hander now owns a 3-4 record on the season to go along with a 3.28 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 69/36 K/BB rate. [...]

And we're back for another week of two-start streaming options as we head into Memorial Day weekend. Rotoballer hasn't fired me yet, so let's keep it up and look at who we got this week.First off, Week 7 went a LOT better for this column than Week 6 (not that it would take much to do better). Although he only had one strikeout in his second start, I think it's safe to say Reynaldo Lopez was the top choice in [...]

Atlanta Braves starter Julio Teheran allowed two hits through five scoreless innings during a 10-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. Teheran walked four batters while striking out four. The 28-year-old now owns a 3-4 record on the season to go along with a 3.88 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and 56/26 K/BB rate. Teheran's fantasy value takes a hit due to his lack of strikeouts. He is a mid-tier fantasy starter that has a nice matchup against the San Francisco Giants in his next projected outing.

So uh...wow. Week 6 absolutely sucked for this column. Like, I'm surprised I still even have a job after that one.Griffin Canning was the winner of the Week 6 column, but that's not saying much. Canning went 1-1, allowing six runs over 10 innings while striking out 13. The other four guys on that list combined to go 0-7 with a 10.41 ERA and 22 strikeouts to 19 walks. I would especially like to apologize anyone who bought on to my Felix Hernandez hype train. [...]
