ANALYSIS: Erasmo Ramirez has been having a sneaky good year this season. He currently has a 3.74 ERA with a 3.76 FIP, 7.19 K/9, 2.56 BB/9, and 0.79 HR/9 in 91.1 IP in 2015. His SIERA (Skill-Interactive Earned Run Average which creates an ERA based on batted ball statistics) is at 3.80 which indicates that his season is about what it should be.
But what is really the big selling point on Ramirez is his recent stretch since May 30. In that time, he has a very impressive 1.93 ERA with 7.07 K/9, 1.61 BB/9, 0.64 HR/9 in 56.0 innings pitched. And his 3.17 FIP during that time span says that he may experience some regression, he still has been on quite the hot streak that cannot be ignored. While Erasmo Ramirez may not be a great strikeout pitcher, he will keep runners off base and maintain a low ERA. He is not going to keep up this 1.93 ERA for the rest of the season, but fantasy owners would be wise to add him now to take full advantage of his recent surge.
