Okay, so we are past the midpoint of the season, but over two months still remain, so there is plenty of ball yet to be played. Below is a list of pitchers I expect to post much better surface stats than they have in the first half. You could view this as a group of pitchers who have been unlucky, but I prefer to call it a list of surgers, or guys worth targeting in Only leagues or picking up off free agency in shallower mixed leagues. All the below pitchers have ugly traditional stats that you normally wouldn't think about adding to your active roster. No sub-4.00 ERA pitchers here! So consider this your kick in the butt to strongly consider each one of these pitchers for your team during your (hopefully) championship run. Ricky Nolasco This one should be no surprise as most good fantasy advice sites will point out his ridiculous .358 BABIP and low 58.6% strand rate as a reason for expected improvement. His strikeout rate is actually a full point higher than it was last year, while his average velocity remains almost identical. His xFIP is just 3.40, which is even better than last season's 3.94 mark. There's a good chance he will be a top 20 pitcher the rest of the way. I can't imagine a league in which he remains a free agent, but the 11 runs he has allowed over his last two outings may allow you to acquire him slightly cheaper than you would have had to given the great run he had been on since returning to the majors.
