Astros WHIP+ Shows an Above Average Rotation

Christian Javier – 79

This is probably a surprise to most as it is to me.  He was sent to the bullpen after nine starts (spoiler, his WHIP+ from the bullpen was 102), never to start again.

As a starter Javier gave up only 5.36 hits per nine innings and while his 3.88 walks per nine innings was an issue, consider that it was the same as Framber Valdez and better than Lance McCullers, Jr. File this under things that make you wonder.
