W:16 S:0 K:186 ERA:3.39 WHIP:1.18

Arguably the best American League pitcher in 2013, but the 30 year old just doesn’t have the pedigree to back it up.

W:14 S:0 K:195 ERA:3.30 WHIP:1.21

15. Gio Gonzalez

W:13 S:0 K:191 ERA:3.54 WHIP:1.21

20. Matt Cain
2013 was the year Matt Cain’s peripherals finally caught up with him. Still worth a fantasy look because the 29-year-old had such a long history of beating them.

W:13 S:0 K:175 ERA:3.43 WHIP:1.14
