FACTS/FLUKES: Buehler, C. Seager, Myers, McNeil, Freeland

Buehler rounding into form... Expectations were sky-high for Walker Buehler (RHP, LA) entering 2019, but he got off to a slow start, serving up five earned runs in two of his first three starts. He has righted the ship, though, and is sporting a nifty 28/2 K/BB ratio in 25.1 IP over his last four starts. Is he likely to be an ace the rest of the season?
