There was so much talk about Robbie Ray in the preseason and it's really hard to avoid diving deep into again after a studly 6.2 IP, 0 ER, 3 Hits, 4 BBs, 12 Ks against the Brewers. I've been pretty clear on my thoughts on Ray and they don't really change even with this unreal run that he's on: He's great against bad teams and bad against good teams. Ray's schedule is great up until July and I'd want to own him through it all - I don't expect him to be bad in the next few weeks - but I would highly recommend selling him at the end of June, probably in the last week so the other owner will still pay full price to own him for a start against the Phillies. Ray is still sporting a 41.1% hard contact rate and 3.83 BB/9 despite these excellent 11.70 K/9 and 2.62 ERA, and it screams Danny Salazar 2.0. That's not what it looks like now, which means there is a pretty penny to be made.
