Many clubs are either missing their biggest arrms and relying on other options while others have that at full strenghth. The Philadelphia Phillies have Aaron Nola<\/a> and Zack Wheeler<\/a>, the Arizona Diamondbacks have Zac Gallen<\/a> and Merrill Kelly<\/a>. But if we look away from the names and focus on run prevention with ERA, it’s a different story. Neither of those pitchers and their teams are leading the league in that stat. Leading the league through Saturday are the Boston Red Sox (1.72).<\/p>\n

The 1.72 ERA by the Boston Red Sox\u2019s starting rotation is the franchise’s lowest through 21 games since 1920, and the second-lowest by any team since 2000, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.<\/p>\n
