RELIEVERS: Best of the best BPIs across 2018

This week, back to basic "LIMA" filters for the best skill sets, balance of the season. The filters here are under 15.0 BF/G (to date), a 3.80 xERA to-date or lower, a 3.80 projected xERA or lower, a 1.30 WHIP to-date or lower, a 1.30 projected WHIP or lower, a 7.0 Dom or higher, 2.5 Cmd ratio or higher and a 1.2 HR/9 or lower to-date and a 7.0 Dom or higher, 2.5 Cmd ratio or higher and a 1.2 HR/9 or lower projected. Of pitchers still pitching in a relief role, we get 28 relievers for your consideration. 30 if you count Sean Doolittle (LHP, WAS) and Brandon Morrow (RHP, CHC)—two closers who may or may not not make it back during the season.

Here are the relievers who meet all of these filters with a projected BPV at or over 150:
