FACTS/FLUKES: Archer, Simmons, M. Gonzales, R. Lopez, and M. Gonzalez

Archer's skills remain steady... With a 6.05 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in his first seven GS, Chris Archer (RHP, TAM) has not delivered a profit on his draft day price. For the third-straight season, his xERA remains below his ERA. Should we be worried about Archer's poor results in 2018?
