FACTS/FLUKES: Nola, Ozuna, Molina, Archer, Yastrzemski

Nola disappoints … While Aaron Nola (RHP, PHI) wasn’t a good bet to replicate his tremendous 2018 season, he got off to a rough start and fell well short of expectations in 2019, posting a 3.87 ERA in 202 IP. He steadied the reins with a 3.03 ERA, 2.9 Ctl and 1.05 WHIP in 110 IP from June-August before compiling a 6.51 ERA in 28 September IP. Can he rebound in 2020?
