Sanchez has been light years better in his last two and a half starts, throwing 20 2/3 straight shutout innings, than he was in April and May, but he still wasn’t able to avoid our list.

That’s because despite over 20 consecutive scoreless innings, Sanchez still has a 4.65 ERA. In particular, Sanchez has struggled to keep the ball in the yard. In a four-start span at the end of May and early June, Sanchez allowed seven home runs. The right-hander tossed up just four bombs last year.

He is also 5-7 with a 1.18 WHIP and 83 strikeouts in 91 innings this season.
