FACTS/FLUKES: Archer, Bradley Jr., Healy, Peacock, Chisenhall

Archer going strong ... When we last looked into Chris Archer (RHP, TAM), a scan of his BPIs led to us to think that his "UP: Cy Young" speculation in the Baseball Forecaster wasn't completely far-fetched despite a 4.02 ERA in 2016. 2017's mark remains virtually unchanged (3.97 through 16 starts); is there hope for a 2H surge?
